Hakomi Method Therapists in Cleveland, OH

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

Dr. Carol brings many years of experience in healthcare and mental health care, along with a broad range of therapeutic approaches and a holistic perspective. As a compassionate and engaged therapist, she helps clients explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives and learn to work with their strengths to find one's best life. Her areas of focus include depth psychology, inner work, nervous-system regulation, attachment concerns, repetitive patterns, trauma recovery, healthier thinking and living, and the emotional impact of medical issues.

Cleveland carries a post-industrial identity with deep civic pride, and the mental health effects of decades of economic decline — job loss, population contraction, and community stress — are themes many local therapists engage with regularly. The city is home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's premier medical institutions, which maintains extensive psychiatric and behavioral health services alongside a large private practice community concentrated in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Lakewood. Cleveland's large Black community and history of racial inequity drive demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and social justice themes. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center provides additional institutional mental health resources in a city with a well-established independent practice community.
