Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.

Tallahassee is home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University — the latter one of the country's most prominent HBCUs — creating a large and diverse student population alongside a substantial state government workforce, and a therapy community shaped by both academic stress and the particular pressures of public service careers. The city's African American community, anchored by a historically rich FAMU culture, drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial identity, HBCU community life, and intergenerational resilience. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Capital Regional Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Tallahassee's geographic distance from Florida's major metros makes it an important regional mental health hub for a large surrounding rural area.
