Hakomi Method Therapists in Madison, WI

Presence, compassion, and connection are deeply important qualities that I seek to access each and every session. I specialize in trauma-informed, integrative care that honors your unique experiences and empowers lasting change. With a foundation in EMDR, Sensiormotor, somatic, and creative, science driven therapies, I help clients reconnect with their inner resilience and move forward with clarity and confidence. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, tailors the work to you, and walks alongside you with compassion. I'd be honored to support your healing journey. Reach out today to get started.

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.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino, Hmong, and East African communities are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
