I am the owner of Home Within Therapy LLC: https://homewithintherapy.org/. I hold a dual degree of Ed.M. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. I work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families from all walks of life. I am licensed in NY, NJ and CA.

I believe people carry far more strength, clarity, and resilience than they often realize. My role is to help you understand the emotional patterns and internal narratives that shape your experience, so you can move through life with greater freedom and self‐trust. I’m engaged, attuned, and honest in the room — offering reflection, insight, and steady collaboration as we explore what’s happening beneath the surface. We work at a pace that feels grounded for you, creating space for real change to germinate.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

Hi! My name is Terri Carsley and I have been practicing as a Marriage and Family therapist for the last 16 years. I am a transplant from the East Coast, but have lived in Los Angeles for over 30 years. I have a background in treating addiction and trauma. I am an advanced level somatic practitioner, using both my talk therapy and trauma therapy to help individuals, couples and families achieve healthy communication and heal emotional wounds.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I graduated from Alliant International University and have 12 years of experience in treatment settings ranging from residential care to routine outpatient care, treating self-harm, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relation and family conflict, life adjustments and more.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly without fear of judgment. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or uncertain about their next step. Many of my clients are men navigating relationships, career/school stress, anxiety/depression, fatherhood, major life transitions, and other challenges. I provide a supportive space to explore what's going on beneath the surface while helping you build practical strategies for moving forward. Let's work together to identify the roadblocks in your life and approach the here and now with clarity and intention.
