Professional statement

Cary Twichell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Providence, RI who specializes in holistic therapy. She has extensive experience in relationships, anxiety, depression, spirituality, grief and loss, and adjustment disorders. She frequently works with college students and young adults, as well as adults in mid-life, who are exploring their purpose in the world and what they want out of life.

Cary is passionate about helping her clients better understand the mind-body connection and how one affects the other. She works collaboratively with clients, focusing on their goals, interests, and world view. She practices trauma-informed care that focuses on meeting her clients where they are, creating a safe space, and helping build resilience and emotional regulation. She frequently utilizes mindfulness and grounding exercises, movement, and expressive therapies to help her clients become more present and learn healthier coping strategies.

Cary offers a safe and confidential space for clients to explore themselves—both their gifts and strengths, and the places they might be stuck, unhappy, or not living to their fullest potential. Before starting her private practice, she worked at an agency where she focused on sexual and domestic violence. She graduated from Lesley University with a Master's in Counseling Psychology and an Advanced Certificate in Trauma Studies. She has studied the Hakomi Method - a mindfulness-based approach to psychotherapy; sand tray therapy, and psychodrama.


Message to clients

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Life can be very painful, and our everyday environments are not always able to support us in our healing. My clients often long for a place where they can get to know their own inner landscape with support and safety; and learn how to handle the stresses of their lives with more joy and authenticity. Our time together is a place for you to slow down and really connect with yourself, just as you are. You may begin psychotherapy because of difficulty, loss, or pain; but I think you'll discover a lot about your strength and resiliency as well, and come to feel more alive and more engaged in all areas of your life.
