As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) of Asian descent with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples from a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. I'm deeply passionate about the mental health field and committed to providing trauma-informed care that honors each person's unique story and resilience. I believe in the power of connection, presence, and authenticity in the healing process. I also have a deep love for the outdoors and often incorporate nature into my work, as I find it to be a powerful and effective form of experiential therapy. Whether we're exploring your inner world or using elements of the natural world for grounding and reflection, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
Welcome! I’m Carly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should feel like a real, non-judgmental conversation . I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions where I take a down-to-earth, collaborative approach. My style is warm, honest, and practical—my goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and actually helped. I want our work to feel like a space where you can breathe, grow, and feel more like yourself again.”
I am a strengths-based, person-centered play-based therapist and consultant dedicated to the well-being of children and their grown-ups.
I use reflective guidance in my work with caregivers, and creative arts therapy and therapeutic play to connect with your littles and cultivate the conditions for transformation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Arlington, MA
Finding family therapists in Arlington starts with identifying what your family is navigating and what kind of support may fit. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for therapists whose bios mention family systems, parent-child relationships, adolescent care, or other experience that matches your needs.
Arlington is a smaller market, so local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Boston-area communities. Virtual family therapy can expand your options while keeping care accessible for busy schedules. Session attendance may include the full family, a parent and child, siblings, or individual members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse family therapists in Arlington, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
