Hello! My name is Karrie Pehle and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Modesto, California and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I have a Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology and have been working as a therapist since 1998. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, relational issues and relational trauma. I practice a client centered integrated approach that blends cognitive-behavioral, emotional and stress regulation, somatic and mindfulness techniques with a humanistic grounding in Gestalt and Existential Therapy. My strongest intention is to provide a safe space for clients to turn towards themselves while in a supportive therapeutic relationship to recognize, allow, accept and explore their inner world including thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and spirit, as well as needs, wants, goals and life purpose. I teach and support in session practice of self awareness, self regulation, self contact and response skills to promote discovery and development of inner resources. With increased self contact/self awareness (presence), it is then possible to deepen into understanding how one comes into relationship with others and the world they live in. Clients are then in a position to create change in their lives.
