Carolyn Lenz, LMHC, EMDRC, NCC, CIT

I know that reaching out for help can be a scary and humbling process. I know because I have been there. Living with anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma is a terrible burden, but it does not have to be a life sentence! Through EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, skill building and strength based solutions I help clients live the lives they've longed for. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board-Certified Counselor with more than thirteen years’ experience. I am Certified in EMDR through EMDRIA and I am also an EMDR Consultant-in-Training. I offer telehealth appointments to residents of AZ, FL, and SD. I also have an office located in Clearwater, FL for clients who prefer in-person sessions. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the fastest and most effective path to healing, and I have it seen it change the lives of many clients. EMDR quickly resolves distress and self-limiting beliefs, sparing clients from wasting years in traditional talk therapy. EMDR's success is backed by over 20 years of research! EMDR is the number one recommended treatment intervention for trauma by leading research organizations around the world. Some of these include, the American Psychological Association (APA), World Health Organization (WHO) and the Veterans' Administration (VA). EMDR is the most effective intervention for resolving trauma. Additionally, it is proven effective for treatment of anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, grief, phobias, and more. I understand the importance of wellness over symptom management and believe in treating the whole person. I take an individual approach to each client I work with and strive to collaborate.
