Carla Tamplin(She/Her/Hers)

Carla Tamplin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Telehealth practice that serves clients in any part of Ohio. Carla works with women or parents who are having difficulty with any aspect of parenthood. Infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, perinatal depression/anxiety, adoption and birth trauma can make what should be a joyful life transition into a very stressful time. Caregiver burnout can lead to bonding difficulties and trying to find time for self-care and integrating one’s new identity as a parent falls by the wayside as juggling the logistics of childcare, sleeping and feeding take center stage. Carla helps clients restore balance to their life and the lives of their families by focusing on core issues that impact family connection.

Carla’s treatment approach draws from strengths-based and cognitive behavioral treatment approaches. She helps clients find the support systems already present in their lives and strategizes with clients about how to get the help and support they need from family, friends and the community.

Carla’s goals for her clients is that they would successfully complete therapy - to rediscover a “new normal” after children or how to move on to a fulfilling life that does not include one’s own children. Successful completion of therapy means that a client is no longer overwhelmed with depressive or anxious thoughts and has a strong, secure attachment with his or her child.

Carla obtained her Master’s of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University in 2011 and has worked with women and families in a variety of mental health settings since then. She serves on the “Start Strong” committee in her local community, a coalition dedicated to ensuring all babies in the community are thriving on their first birthday. Carla is also a professional member of Postpartum Support International.
