Dr. Carol Carrell

Dr. Carol Carrell brings 30 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, families, and professionals. She has provided therapy to people across the lifespan - from infants at 18 months to older adults at 98 years - and draws on her roles as a professor and clinical supervisor to inform a flexible, evidence-informed approach.

She approaches each person as unique and adapts methods accordingly, using a variety of therapeutic modalities rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, caregiver fatigue related to chronic illness, chronic pain, grief, and stress. She also supports clients with relationship and intimacy issues, family conflict, anger management, self-esteem concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and career or coaching needs.

Dr. Carrell has experience working with first responders and professionals, adolescents in the juvenile justice system, children with complex health issues and their families, and people with learning disabilities or suicidality. She has worked with LGBTQI clients through processes such as coming out to family and community, and she emphasizes creating an environment where adolescents and couples feel safe to express themselves and address sensitive family matters.

Licensed as a marriage and family therapist in both California and Arizona, she holds state licenses that authorize her clinical practice - California license number 29475 and Arizona license number LMFT-15478. Dr. Carrell welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with clients who are ready to work toward the changes they seek.
