Mr. Carter has been such a wonderful therapist who has helped me along my journey of self discovery over the past few years. He has helped me to recognize coping mechanisms I implemented as a child and understand feelings I’ve been trying to protect and how those habits don’t actually serve me anymore. He has listened and gently guided me to see the root cause of so many issues and has encouraged and supported me as I face the past trauma so I can move forward and grow. He has helped me realize that childhood trauma is not just physical or sexual and that emotional trauma and abandonment have just as much of an impact. He gave my trauma a name and it was shocking to hear the term of abandonment when, I had both of my parents present in my life. I can now see that physical presence isn’t the same as emocional security. I cannot thank him enough for all the progress I have made and I look forward to his continued support.

Do you want to overcome the obstacles preventing you from being your best self? My name is Alfred Renard Carter and I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist. My clinical experience and specializations are Depression, Anxiety, Stress management and relationship dynamics (couple/marriage/family). I take a strength-based approach to empower you to overcome the psychological and emotional distress you're experiencing. I'm eclectic from a theoretical standpoint. However, I lean towards Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic Existential theories as a base treatment modality. I believe in allowing your needs intrapsychic needs to determine the theoretical approach and interventions most suitable for your treatment. While my education and professional experiences provide me the competence to provide effective treatment, I don't profess to be an expert on you. You're the expert on your life journey. My role as your therapist is to walk with you through your past as well as present challenges to alleviate the psychological symptoms and barriers preventing you from overcoming its impact on your well-being.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
