Howdy! My name is Karly Trotter, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. My practice helps pre- and postpartum parents, persons with OCD and anxiety, and neurodivergent folks handle feelings of stress, executive dysfunction, intrusive thinking, and self-doubt.
Personally and professionally, I've seen how therapy can deeply change experiences of suffering. I warmly encourage you to give therapy a chance, join my women's group, or take advantage of my free yoga or meditation classes if you have financial constraints.
