• Asking
    Questions

    Sometimes knowing which questions to ask is more illuminating than any answer.
    “To dare to be aware of the facts of the universe in which we are existing calls for courage.”
    ~ Bion

  • Working Towards
    A Deeper Understanding

    “It is a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found.”
    ~ Winnicott

    We will explore and work to illuminate your conflicting wishes and desires.

  • Exploring Integration
    of Yourself

    “Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself...
    and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation.”
    ~ Winnicott

Kathryn Dennett Carpenter, MAT, LCSW

I provide outpatient, non-directive psychotherapy to adults in a discreet, private practice setting where confidentiality is prioritized. Psychotherapy is a complex experience where we will come to understand you as a whole person, bringing to your awareness the experiences of your past in a way that helps you identify what is personally important and how you may want to move forward.

Exploration

Together we will explore what it means to be you; past, present, and future. Through this exploration of your life’s experiences we can start to piece together what it has meant for you to be you and how you may want to more forward.

What Are You Carrying?

Sometimes we are not aware of all that we carry or, conversely, what we have missed out on in life. Together we can work to unpack and understand these pieces better, whether the pieces are present or absent.

Find Direction

There are many ways to construct a life and different paths towards a meaningful existence. How to move forward is deeply personal and can be elusive. Working together we can help to organize yourself around what you discover is personally important.
