Therapy that goes beneath the surface
Grounded, trauma-focused therapy for adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout, and patterns that are ready to shift.
A note from Carolina
Before getting started, you may want to hear a little more about Trypstate, how Carolina approaches therapy, and what this work can feel like.
Before Private Practice
Healing is not one-size-fits-all
Before Trypstate, I spent years working in community mental health centers, correctional facilities, and residential substance use programs. As a forensic psychologist, I worked with incarcerated and court-mandated individuals, often meeting people at their most vulnerable, their most stuck, and their most human.
Those experiences shaped the way I practice now. They taught me that the person sitting across from me has often tried multiple things that did not work, or only worked for a while. Sometimes the most important part of therapy is creating enough safety, steadiness, and trust for someone to feel seen and willing to try again.
How I work
Therapy shaped around what actually helps you
I draw from the approaches that best support your needs, whether that means tending to your nervous system, softening the inner critic, processing stuck experiences, or integrating insights from deeper therapeutic work.
My work is trauma-focused, collaborative, and integration-oriented. Depending on what you need, therapy may include EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted EMDR, intensive EMDR work, or support integrating psychedelic experiences that happen outside of Trypstate.
The goal is not to fit you into a method. It is to find a path that helps you regulate your emotions, shift old patterns, and live with more authenticity and freedom.
✔ Regulate what feels overwhelming
Build more capacity to stay present with emotions, sensations, and stress responses without feeling consumed by them.
✔ Process and integrate what feels stuck
Work with difficult experiences, beliefs, and memories that still seem to live in your body or shape the way you move through the world.
✔ Shift patterns that keep repeating
Notice the protective strategies that once helped you survive, then begin creating more flexible ways of responding.
✔ Move with more authenticity and freedom
Create space for more choice, self-trust, and alignment in how you relate to yourself, others, and your life.
What therapy can feel like here
Deep work does not have to feel rushed
Therapy at Trypstate is steady, collaborative, and paced with your nervous system in mind. The work can go beneath the surface without pushing you past what feels manageable.
Steady
Slow down, notice what is happening internally, and build more capacity around emotions, sensations, and stress responses.
Collaborative
Pay attention to what is helping, what is not, and what your system feels ready to explore.
Deep, but paced
Move into meaningful territory while staying connected to safety, choice, and integration.
Some patterns do not shift through insight alone.
Trypstate offers deeper therapy options for clients who need another way into stuck trauma patterns, emotional blocks, or experiences that feel hard to access through talk therapy alone.
These approaches are grounded in preparation, safety, and therapeutic support.
When traditional therapy has not been enough
EMDR Intensives
A focused therapy format for clients who want to work through specific memories, patterns, or symptoms in a more concentrated way.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
A supported therapy experience that can help create more access to insight, emotion, and healing when traditional approaches have not been enough.
Ketamine-Assisted EMDR
A specialized approach that combines ketamine with trauma-focused EMDR to help processing feel more accessible and manageable.
