Carolyn McCarter Wood is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist who has a passion for supporting individuals and families navigating the challenges of eating disorders and disordered eating. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, she believes in the possibility of full recovery and understands that everyone deserves compassion and support, regardless of their journey. With training in EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Carolyn guides her clients in processing their life experiences through a holistic and embodied approach. Her practice is grounded in neuroscience, shedding light on the complexities of why individuals may feel stuck and emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and empathy from others in the healing process. Open to working with clients of all sexual orientations and gender expressions, Carolyn operates from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, firmly believing that an individual's weight and size should never dictate their health or self-worth. She prioritizes recovery goals that foster overall well-being rather than focusing on weight loss. With a love for supporting parents in their quest to aid their children's recovery, Carolyn also enjoys integrating the outdoors into her therapeutic sessions when possible. Known for her engaging style and approachable demeanor, she creates a welcoming space filled with resources such as physio balls, art supplies, and fidget toys to accommodate various therapeutic preferences. For those who appreciate a bit of furry companionship, Carolyn occasionally brings her dog Nellie to the office for a little extra warmth and comfort.
