Caroline Aiken LCSW PLLC

Feeling stuck? Searching for meaning? Longing to experience joy again? The process of co-creating a trusting holding space with a patient, curious professional can lead to profound healing & renewed sense of meaning, understanding, and connection. My therapeutic style is calm, curious, and compassionate. My role is to honor your lived experiences while support you in living a more harmonious, meaningful life. I use an integrative, intersectional, and individualized approach including mindfulness, self compassion, and somatic -based therapies to support individuals experiencing chronic distress. My approach is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing. I am a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. I work from an anti-oppressive, decolonized framework and invite exploration and reflection of the impacts of systems/institutions on individuals. My experience includes supporting individuals with histories of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, complex family dynamics, and substance use. Therapy creates a safe container for us to be with our pain, metabolize it, and put an end to it. It is an intentional space to be present to exploring experiences, processing feelings, and growing self-compassion. Choosing to start therapy is courageous. All inquiries are welcome!
