    Do you constantly worry about your clients (hello, overthinking!) and wonder if you're even making a difference? 👀 (Imposter syndrome, anyone?)

    🚨 Is your own health—mind, body, and soul—and your personal relationships taking a backseat?

    🔥Deep down, do you long to be fully present with your clients, rekindle that spark of passion for helping others, and still protect your own well-being? 🌱✨

     

    If so, you are in the right place! 🙌

  • 1:1 Coaching for therapists & healers provides the road map for healing from anxiety and professional burnout. Let me be your guide:

    Mind, Body, Soul Coaching

    • Mind: Transmute imposter syndrome, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma into inner strength and therapeutic clarity.
    • Body: Heal chronic stress through your nervous system + be fully embodied in your therapeutic work.

  • About Me

     
    Hey there! I’m Carolyn (but you can call me Cal—much easier to fit on a coffee mug, right?
    As a clinical therapist with 15 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping students, clients, and fellow clinicians. I proudly run a thriving private practice and lead a magical team of 12 incredible therapists who inspire me every day with their passion and love for helping others.
    In the early days of my career, I was a ball of anxiety, constantly worrying about my clients, grappling with imposter syndrome, and ignoring the signs of vicarious trauma and chronic stress. I was so focused on everyone else that I forgot to set boundaries, which led to major burnout and a bit of chaos in my life. Let’s just say my coffee consumption was at an Olympic level!
    Eventually, I rose like a Phoenix from the ashes—thankfully without the fire or dramatic soundtrack! I learned how to heal from burnout and rediscovered my passion for helping others in a whole new way. This journey inspired me to develop a method that truly helps therapists and healing professionals transition from burnt out to lit up. And trust me, it REALLY FREAKING WORK!
    This led me to create Chat With Cal Coaching and Course, where I’m committed to creating a safe space and magical community for therapists. Here, you’ll find powerful, life-changing content designed to elevate your growth as a therapist to prevent burnout.
    If you're ready to go from feeling overwhelmed to thriving (and maybe even smiling a little more), let’s connect!
    It's time. Scheduled a call with me today.
