Carin Kirikos, LCSW_C

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) and eco-therapist who uses a holistic approach to help you meet your goals. We can learn to alleviate suffering by slowing down, paying attention and connecting with the Wise Self. My emphasis is on contacting the part of you that knows that even difficult events, feelings and behaviors can be a powerful catalyst for positive change. Together, by accessing the Wise Self, we will explore how habitual thoughts, beliefs, and responses may be impacting your capacity for balance and joy. Sessions take place in the office (following local COVID guidelines), outdoors/on grounds, and/or via telehealth using a HIPAA compliant secure platform. As a therapist, I draw on breathwork, mindfulness, the natural world, the brain-body connection, and the mindful and curious exploration of self. Specific modalities include but are not limited to: - Ecotherapy/Nature Informed Therapy (ranging from in office, to walk and talk, to outdoor contemplation and sit spots) - Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Body Centered Mindfulness - Exploring and Aligning Life Values In addition to a Masters in Social Work, I hold a Masters of Education and a two-year degree in therapeutic bodywork, which also inform my holistic approach. I am paneled with, and accept, most major insurance companies. If you would like to explore this approach, and see if we are a good fit, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at Ckirikos@we-align.org .
