Kindra Carroll, LCSW, LICSW

Kindra Carroll, LCSW, LICSW I believe we are all experts of our own path and I strive to work collaboratively with individuals and families to support self-discovery and empowerment.

I am a Portland based clinician. I work with adults and adolescents, who are struggling with a variety of challenging experiences including high stress phase of life challenges, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss. I utilize a strengths based perspective and have specialized training in IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT+, DBT, and mindfulness. Please see my blog to learn more about these specific treatment options. My approach to therapy emphasizes client strengths while relying on the therapeutic relationship to help individuals feel connected and empowered as they navigate their daily rituals and relationships. My strength as a therapist lies in my ability to provide a space of non-judgment and acceptance with a reliance on humor and levity to facilitate building of trust.

~ee Cummings

[unsolicited addendum]

And thus it is unavoidable my dear, that you shall also become my shadow, my madness, and all of the fragments of my broken dreams.

Because until I can simply relish the very existence of you and I, under shared sun and moon and stars, I will inevitably project onto you all of that Wonder and light, but also all of my neglected Trauma and torment, in a misplaced effort to find my way back to the Essence of my Being.

Alas, healing and self-compassion are foundation to a process of individuation that establishes interconnection rather than dependency.

Just as the sun, the moon, and the stars do not leave when you leave my dear, the deepness of my Love for you outshines the symptoms and learned adaptations of my suffering.

Like many, I’ve been feeling scared, shocked, hopeless, worried... so much uncertainty. So much anticipation of aloneness.

Today I video conferenced 8 clients from home. In between sessions I walked my dog, listened to music and sat in the sunshine daydreaming about planting sunflowers. On my walk, I noticed many neighbors also home, also outside, also daydreaming. There were hardly any cars on the road. It was quiet and peaceful. And, it was.. lovely.

And meanwhile, there are people who are under-resourced and unsafe in this society. And there are people who always have been. And now, as more privileged individuals join them there, it becomes a phenomenon no longer worth ignoring.

I am scared. But it is clear to me how important this moment is for humanity.

I know people can be frustrating in their Panic behavior. But, I encourage you to spend an equal amount of energy appreciating the parts of Humanity that reverberate Love. It is all around you. I promise.

I like this version better 😂 I’ve NEVER liked the original. It’ seems a little bit like gaslighting. If I’m sh*tty and abusive at my worst, you get to have good boundaries and walk away. It’s up to me to examine the parts of me that behave badly when activated. Do you agree?
