Meet the Team — Inner Collective Therapists

I have always been passionate about helping others understand who they are and why they respond and behave in the way they do. This is what led me to complete my Bachelor's Degree followed by my Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology. I wanted to help individuals process their difficulties while simultaneously learning to develop an understanding of themselves that would foster self-compassion and personal growth.

Through my work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other traumas, I have come to understand that some of the greatest barriers to healing are self-doubt and fear. The idea of opening up, trusting someone new, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable — especially after experiencing pain — takes tremendous courage. I have deep respect for anyone who reaches that place of recognizing that they should not have to walk this road alone, and who takes that brave first step toward support.

If you've found your way here it is likely because you want to understand more about yourself and how your experiences in relationships, both familial and otherwise, have shaped and perhaps even control, your current behaviour. You could also be a couple who are struggling to connect and understand one another, but feel devastated at the thought of giving up on your relationship.

Individually, Carolynn works primarily from a Relational Therapy approach to support you in feeling more content in your relationships and with yourself, with an added awareness regarding the impacts of trauma. With couples, Carolynn works to increase emotional intimacy by supporting the couple in recognizing patterns of disagreement and increase closeness.

Struggling with mental health can be a profoundly isolating and overwhelming experience. Yet, I firmly believe that the courage to seek help can dismantle the barriers that often hinder healing. My expertise spans a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, anger management, boundary development, and trauma recovery. I welcome clients of all genders and ages (14+). I take great joy in empowering my clients to set meaningful goals and equipping them with the tools and resilience needed to achieve lasting transformation.

Embracing a client-centered approach, I draw upon a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness. By integrating these approaches, I help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, cultivate self-awareness, and unlock their full potential.

Do you frequently engage in negative self-talk? Are you bothered by how you think others see you? Do you worry excessively about the future? Are you finding it difficult to move on from past events? Does substance use interfere with your finances, work/school, relationships, and/or physical or mental well-being? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might benefit from talk therapy with David Craig. David works closely, through supervisory support, with other experienced behavioural and emotionally focused therapists.

David is a Masters of Counselling Psychology practicum student with a BA in psychology and experience as an addiction counsellor. David uses a mix of cognitive behavioural therapy, positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help you look at the link between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
