Carter takes an approach to sessions that is rooted in here-and-now awareness; this often entails grounding practices, such as mind-body connection exercises to quell racing minds, as well as somatic awareness to promote self-regulation and healing. As a creative arts therapist, he also enjoys using expressive tactics like journaling and visual art engagement. He also incorporates music into sessions, depending on client preferences; clients don’t need to have a musical background in order to benefit from the explorative and grounding nature of music therapy with Carter.
With a strong background in psychoanalysis, Carter enjoys exploring clients’ histories and how that might inform their present. He also helps clients develop real-time strategies that they can use in their everyday lives, such as workbooks from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) schools of thought.
