Carly Pitsch

Grand Rapids,MI

Summary

My theoretical orientation is integrative, with a strong humanistic and person-centered foundation, along with psychodynamic, existential, and emotion-focused influences. This approach fits my style and beliefs because I see the therapeutic relationship as central to change. I believe people grow through self-awareness, emotional understanding, and feeling genuinely supported in a safe and authentic relationship. I also value exploring how past experiences, family dynamics, and trauma continue to show up in the present.
