Carolyn Scorpio, LMSW

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unable to slow down? Are past experiences making it difficult to move forward? Do you feel stuck in old patterns that are no longer helpful? You don't have to carry everything on your own. Together, we’ll create a collaborative space where you can explore your experiences with curiosity and self-compassion, reconnect to your inner wisdom, and work towards a deeper sense of safety, connection, and healing. I work with adults of all ages and identities, most commonly women and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. Many of my clients may identify as highly sensitive people, helping professionals, and may struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout. Our work together may include both talk therapy and somatic approaches to better understand how your unique nervous system has developed adaptive ways to help keep you safe, while gently working to identify and transform patterns that may be leaving you stuck. I've completed training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Levels 1 and 2) and am pursuing Certification in Safety and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E) EMDR. Additionally, I integrate a variety of approaches including Parts Work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindful Self-Compassion. I received my MSW from the University of Michigan School of Social Work and have worked in a variety of nonprofit settings. In addition to my private practice, I'm also currently a social worker at the University of Michigan, with a focus on college student mental health.
