Ms Carolyn Schaefer

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“People long to speak about themselves and to be deeply listened to; two-gether a resonance of experience is created & found.”

About Me

I cultivate a warm, attentive space where your unique story can genuinely unfold. Many people long to articulate their inner world, and here, you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we explore your experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself. This collaborative approach helps clients feel truly heard, building a unique resonance that supports personal growth and clarity.

Approach

Two-gether we let meaning unfold through careful listening and quiet reflection, noticing the small shifts in feeling and thought that point the way forward. In my Rye office I keep a steady, measured pace—sometimes linking present struggles to past patterns, sometimes staying close to immediate emotions—so sessions feel thoughtful rather than rushed. Between meetings I invite gentle experiments in awareness and small behavioural steps when useful, always returning to what feels most clarifying for you. This style often suits those facing anxiety, grief, transitions, or relationship pain.
