Seen. Heard. Believed.

Your sensitivity was never the problem. Their harm was.

Does safety feel like an unobtainable reality? Is trust something that was broken and feels like it may never be repaired?, If so, you’re not alone—and together through IFS therapy and EMDR we will create a space where your nervous system can finally rest

Transition from PTSD to Post Traumatic Growth

What does healing look like and how will know when you have got there? Healing is vulnerable, raw, and beautiful.  Standing in the ashes of what was destroyed in order to nurture a sense of stability.

Your Path to Healing Starts Here

Virtual Therapy in Virginia with EMDR and IFS

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps you process and heal from traumatic memories, anxiety, and distressing experiences. It’s an evidence-based approach designed to help you move beyond past pain and into the present.

IFS helps you connect with and heal the different “parts” within yourself—especially those carrying pain, shame, or fear. This compassionate, transformative approach fosters inner harmony and self-acceptance.

Carter Bain, LCSW, therapist in Virginia

With a compassionate and collaborative approach, I am dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and heavy emotions. My therapeutic practice is rooted in creating a safe, trusting environment where you can feel supported and understood.

My journey into therapy was deeply personal. Inspired by witnessing the resilience of those close to me, I dedicated my life to helping others find their path through darkness. As someone who has faced my own struggles, I understand the courage it takes to seek help and the strength required to confront trauma.

In addition to providing therapy, I offer supervision and consulting for therapists and mental health professionals.
