Description

Specialties

«Suffering is a call for inquiry. All pain needs investigation.» –Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Compassion and intuition characterize my style and I consider truth, the present moment, and the body as rich sources of information in therapeutic work.

These are some of the types of issues my clients come to me for help with:

— Anxiety and/​or depression

— Relationship and family issues

— Life transitions

— Grief and loss

— Trauma

— Personal growth and spirituality

An essential component of my work is the recognition of the interrelationship between mind, body, and spirit. In the context of a supportive and collaborative relationship, I help you examine your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Results of this process may include increased:

— Awareness

— Understanding

— Peacefulness and contentment

— Confidence

— Resourcefulness

— Vitality

History

Established in 2009.

I have been working as a counselor in various capacities in mental health and wellness since 2000. I completed a MA in Counseling Psychology at the University of Denver in 2002. I began seeing clients in a private practice setting at a community counseling center in San Francisco in 2005. I started my own business in 2009 after becoming licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in California. I thoroughly enjoy this work and find it both challenging and deeply rewarding. I am an out of network provider, and can provide monthly receipts if you wish to receive reimbursement from a PPO insurance plan.

Without a doubt Carey is one the most skilled psychotherapists in San Francisco. As a medical practitioner I can refer any of my patients to her and know they are in great hands.
Whether it’s couples therapy or individual counseling Carey has a wide range of skills to address even the most deep seated issues.
Having done a good amount of psychotherapy myself I know how much of a difference a good therapist can make in working through things and getting to the other side. Carey is one the best. If you’re looking for a therapist you won’t be disappointed.

I would easily recommend Carey as a therapist. She offers a very holistic way of seeing therapy and the soul. Her techniques are grounded in an embodied way of working, yet she can also offer a very spiritual way of seeing your experience. Carey would be a great person to see as a couples therapist or an individual counselor. Her hakomi background gives her a lot of tools to help get into what’s most important about healing and letting go of the stuff you don’t want to carry any longer. I definitely respect her as a therapist and can’t imagine you’d be disappointed if you met with her.

I highly recommend Carey for someone who has experienced trauma and/​or who wants to go deep and truly heal. She is highly skilled in various therapies including somatic therapies and in EMDR which give her the unique ability to work with suppressed material in a way that can lead to deep and powerful transformations. As a friend and colleague I have respect for her dedication, skills, and her compassion and kindness. I have great confidence when I refer people to her, as I know they will see a highly skilled and effective therapist with a strong moral and ethical code.

Carey is a fantastic therapist in San Francisco and Marin. She was one of the assistant teachers at training that I participated in and I was impressed with her skill as a therapist. I saw her do a few demo sessions and they were excellent. She is an incredibly deep listener, able to pick up on deeper themes and steer you toward the healing you most deeply need. She also has an incredible stillness in her warm presence — the kind of presence that I imagine comes from years of meditation. I know she specializes in EMDR therapy for trauma and somatic mindfulness-​based therapy with the Hakomi Method. Both are powerful and profound therapeutic methods. I highly recommend Carey as an excellent therapist in San Francisco and Marin.

What I love most about Carey is the confidence and solidity she exudes. I met her years ago when we were both interns at an outpatient clinic and I knew after hearing her speak only a few sentences, that she was a therapist I could trust. Carey is quite intuitive and emotionally connected. She offers a kind of safety that is rare. She has a quiet directness and poignancy that is really unique to her. Carey is someone with a great deal of integrity, self-​understanding and accountability. Her approach includes an infinitely wide picture of reality and she brings an awareness that many therapists simply do not possess. I highly recommend Carey Cloyd!

Carey is a wonderful therapist – compassionate, skilled, and insightful. She has trained extensively in the Hakomi school of body-​centered psychotherapy and brings a depth of knowledge and experience to her work. To sit with Carey is to receive her complete presence and attention, and I recommend her highly!

I met with Carey about a dozen times as one of her clients. I suffer from chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain that I believe is caused by physical tension rooted in deep childhood traumas. My sessions with Carey and the work we did with EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) was extremely effective. I think back on many of the most traumatic memories I have and they no longer hold the same emotional charge. Carey is also willing to adapt her therapeutic style to help augment and reinforce some of the approaches I’ve found to be effective in my own personal self-​explorations.
Finally, though her office appears to be like any other ordinary psychologist’s office, there’s something about the space and her manner of work that I found to be extraordinarily safe and reassuring. I could feel myself easily relaxing and losing physical tension while sitting on her couch in a way that is moderately difficult for me to achieve even when I am trying.
I have seen many, many psychotherapists in my life. Much of my childhood trauma results in having been institutionalized in a locked mental ward – through no fault of my own – for nearly a year at the age of 9 while my parents duked it out in a vicious custody battle. EMDR is special and effective and Carey is both a skilled and comforting practitioner. I would strongly recommend her to anyone I cared about who was dealing with similar issues.

I had an comforting connection the first time I met Carey. She is warm, present, and very bright and a gifted and one of a kind therapist. Her skills encompass many orientations that allow for a deep and transformational experience. I always feel met and accepted in her presence and she really understands the healing process from the inside out. If you desire changes in your life that will truly make a difference than I would strongly suggest becoming one of her clients.

Carey is a caring, sensitive and attentive psychotherapist. She knows what she is doing and she is always present and mindful. She cares about her work and her intelligence and sensitivity come through in everything she does. I recommend her without hesitation.

Carey is a thoughtful and caring psychotherapist. She has had training in many areas including EMDR, Hakomi and non-​dual spirituality. I have seen her dedication and passion for her work in psychotherapy as evidenced by her leadership role in the Non-​Dual Wisdom and Psychotherapy Conference, running Byron Katie groups and her continued work in her private practice. She is constantly learning and challenging herself and is an excellent therapist.

In my personal and professional association with Carey, she shows amazing insight and awareness. It is clear from her approach to the therapeutic process that she is deeply grounded in her field. Her integration of psychodynamic and somatic (body-​centered) therapies allow her to provide a holistic and nurturing healing environment.
Carey is a practitioner with a passion for her work. She has also encouraged me to pursue my own calling in life, and for that I am deeply grateful. I highly recommend her!

My interaction with Carey has spanned over a decade and a half, now. Genuinely, from my first introduction to the compassionate, articulate and thoughtful way that she undertook our shared first-​year class in «Cultures Ideas and Values» at Stanford University, to the way she integrates all components of a holistic view in her approaches to wellness as a Marriage and Family Therapist, she is truly a gift to the field and I could not be more pleased to call myself a colleague as well as a friend of Carey’s.
