Dr. Carrie Willey, LPCC, LPC

Dr. Carrie Willey is a seasoned therapist whose career spans work with specialty treatment centers, tribal health services, and intensive trauma programs. She has collaborated with The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona, learning the Post-Induction-Therapy approach from Pia Mellody and facilitating the intensive Survivor's Workshop designed to help people move beyond childhood and adult trauma. She also served as Clinical Director and therapist at Shades of Hope, focusing on addictions and eating disorders and working alongside founder Tennie McCarthy.

Her clinical background includes providing assessments and treatment in various tribal locations through Indian Health Services, bringing experience with culturally diverse populations. Dr. Willey draws on an eclectic, integrative approach that centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy while incorporating somatic work learned from Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing training. She frequently uses structured assignments to engage clients actively and builds on each person’s existing strengths to help reduce unhelpful patterns that interfere with growth.

Dr. Willey holds LPCC and LPC credentials - licensed counseling qualifications that indicate advanced training to provide professional psychotherapy. Based in Texas, she works with individuals facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, mood and anxiety disorders, relationship and family issues, intimacy and self-esteem difficulties, and related challenges such as codependency, caregiver stress, and dissociation. Outside of her clinical work she enjoys long-distance bicycling, regularly riding 15 to 30 miles on weekends and having completed rides up to 75 miles. Spiritual rather than religious, she respects many spiritual paths and approaches therapy with a goal of helping people become the fullest version of themselves.
