Carinne Sosnowski

Carinne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals navigating stress, low self-esteem, identity and purpose exploration, LGBTQIA+ affirming, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and both PTSD and C-PTSD.  

She is certified in trauma-informed care and brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence to therapy. Carinne prioritizes authenticity and self-expression while engaging in a therapeutic relationship. She focuses on helping clients build emotional regulation skills while creating a supportive space to process their experiences. Her approach draws from a psychodynamic lens, exploring how past and present relationships and experiences influence your emotional life today. Carinne will meet you where you’re at, cheer you on, and hold space for you. 

Carinne incorporates a strengths-based perspective to empower and encourage meaningful change. She also utilizes interventions from DBT to help with grounding and somatic regulation. Carinne utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed care which supports understanding the different parts within us that carry emotional pain or protection from past experiences. Additionally, Carinne integrates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to explore anxious thoughts, promote acceptance, and reconnect with personal values. 

Her work is grounded in both trauma-informed and relational care. She aims to create a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel supported and understood, especially when working through the impact of past trauma or adverse childhood experiences. Through this connection, we can build resilience and foster healing.

Your first session is a space to share your story at your own pace. We’ll explore what brings you in and begin building a plan that aligns with your goals. The length of therapy varies by individual. Some people find clarity in just a few sessions, while others continue for ongoing support. We’ll collaborate on what’s right for you!
