Carley Rothstein, LCSW

Carley uses that background to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and many everyday challenges. Carley takes a straightforward, people-first approach in sessions. She listens closely, helps set clear goals, and uses practical strategies parents and adults can try between meetings.

She works with issues like ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, relationship and communication problems, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports questions around adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, attachment, autism, and body image. Her clinical work has included school-based psychotherapy, outpatient therapy for complex needs, and integrated behavioral health in medical or clinic settings.

She has experience supporting young people with trauma, self-harm, and suicidality, and assisting adults in group homes and assisted-living environments as they face aging-related changes. Carley describes her style as client-centered. That means sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and strengths.

She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to create practical plans. Outside of work she advocates for the special needs community and spends time with her son, two dogs, and two bunnies. Her lived experience caring for a child with Fragile X Syndrome informs her patient, down-to-earth way of working with families and individuals.
