Carrie Allyson Dyer

Carrie approaches the therapeutic process through a trauma-informed lens, with special attention to the impact of adversity, neurodivergence, and the healing potential of creative expression. Her therapeutic style is grounded, empathetic, and collaborative, guided by the belief that healing is nonlinear, deeply personal, and made possible through authentic connection. Her passion lies in creating safe, affirming spaces where clients can explore their inner world with curiosity, compassion, and courage. She brings over two decades of experience in creative education and deeply human-centered work. Carrie’s clinical interests include supporting individuals navigating destabilizing systems, attachment injuries, chronic illness, grief, complex trauma, and major life transitions. She is especially drawn to integrative approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and somatic practices. She is also inspired by Jungian and Existential modalities that explore life’s deeper meanings and how the process of individuation shapes our worldview. Carrie brings lived experience with ADHD and neurodivergence to her clinical work. Carrie is currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Counseling at Wake Forest University and is training in both EMDR and IFS. In her free time, Carrie enjoys making things by hand, drawing as a way to process the human experience, and meditating under the night sky. She finds joy in deep conversations about space and time, mindfulness through gardening, and listening to eclectic music with her husband and their dog, Luca.
