Carolyn Cerame

Carolyn Cerame is a compassionate and dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist, bringing over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy to her practice. She believes that therapy is fundamentally about self-discovery and fosters a process of curious and compassionate inquiry, enabling individuals to gain insights that can lead to a sense of liberation from their struggles. Carolyn is particularly drawn to working with individuals whose lives have reached a stalemate and are seeking new options to navigate their dilemmas. She understands that often what are perceived as problems can transform into opportunities for deeper understanding and fulfillment, both internally and externally. Her eclectic therapeutic approach incorporates psychodynamic, relational, trauma-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based theories and techniques. As a seasoned practitioner, Carolyn integrates her extensive expertise with the tenets of compassion-focused therapy and other modalities. Additionally, she is a committed student of mindfulness, having completed a rigorous 12-year training program in this area. A powerful believer in the beauty of imperfection, Carolyn resonates with Leonard Cohen's sentiment that 'there is a crack in everything… that’s how the light gets in.'
