BiographyCarissa Provost is a compassionate, client-centered Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel empowered to grow and heal. She began her career as a school-based clinician with BHSN, working alongside children, adolescents, and families throughout the county. In this role, she developed extensive experience providing individual, group, family, and crisis interventions while collaborating with schools and community providers to support each client's unique needs.
Carissa now works with individuals ages 10 and older, tailoring treatment to the unique strengths and goals of every client. She believes therapy isn't one-size-fits-all and strives to meet each person where they are with authenticity and respect.
Her clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood dysregulation, life transitions, shame and guilt, and challenges with setting healthy boundaries.
