Looking Within – Psychotherapy

Welcome

Carly Singh, LPCC

Welcome, I’m Carly. Thank you for visiting Looking Within; I'm so honored to have you here. I am deeply committed to and passionate about the healing process.

Whether you are seeking to access a deeper connection to yourself and others, looking for support navigating a life transition, feel ready to heal a trauma history or want to change self-harming behaviors, I can help.

I will support you in a process of re-membering connection to yourself and inner wisdom, growing your insight, cultivating embodied presence and developing curiosity and compassion for all that will come up along the way.

Please take your time and look around this site where you can find more information about me and my offerings.

I have worked in a variety of mental health settings for over 10 years and opened Looking Within Psychotherapy in early 2020. I have a wide range of experience and I am comfortable working with individuals experiencing life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum, stress, anxiety, spiritual issues, depression, eating disorders, trauma, poor self-esteem, relational issues, and addiction.

My approach is trauma informed, eclectic and increasingly somatic. Lately, I have been incorporating quite a bit from my studies in Hakomi, a mindfulness based somatic form of psychotherapy that I believe works beautifully with the attachment system. I also draw from somatic trauma resources to support clients with regulating the nervous system and resourcing somatically. My prior formal training includes studies in humanistic psychology, eastern contemplative practices (mindfulness), gestalt, family systems, motivational interviewing and expressive arts therapy.

Other life experiences and studies that greatly inform my work include a deep call to my own healing, a committed spiritual meditation practice and teacher, formal studies in Ayurvedic Medicine, a lifetime of dance and history as a semi-professional ballet dancer, certified yoga teacher, and perhaps most impactful…. being a mother of two darling children!

Ultimately, therapy is a safe space for you to explore yourself with honesty and begin making changes in how you relate to yourself and others. I offer a process of learning to seek shelter and connection in the “home” of your body while developing the skill of cultivating curiosity and compassion for what lies within you.
