About
Meet Carrie Bock, LPC-MHSP
I am a Christ follower, wife, and mother. I seek to bring a calm, compassionate, and hopeful approach to my practice. I am direct and transparent, ensuring no guessing games or hidden analyses. My strength is lasering in on problems and coming up with a plan to resolve them. This is why after 15 years of providing weekly individual therapy, I have shifted to providing EMDR intensive therapy and online courses.
Professional Experience:
MA Counseling from Denver Seminary (2007)
Licensed Professional Counselor in TN (2009)
Trained in EMDR (2013)
EMDR Consultant, highest level of training in EMDR (2019)
Podcast host of Christian Faith and OCD (2020)
Do you have OCD?
This is a fair question because many counselors who treat OCD have experienced it in their own life. I have not. However, I can relate to anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, and depression that often come with OCD.
Other things I have experienced:
- Being a foster parent
- Going through a divorce I didn’t want
- Dating, marrying, having a child after all that
- Rare medical diagnosis & advocacy (husband)
I’m not big on talking about myself during sessions because it’s your time, but I thought I would tell you here in case you can relate. If you really want to know more about me, I have over 200 podcast episodes recorded that you can listen to.
