I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re searching for support because:
the world often feels like too much and not enough at the same time,
you’ve have had experiences that have left you feeling disconnected, hopeless, or numb,
you would call yourself a perfectionist and/or people-pleaser,
or you are struggling to know and accept who you are, and are wanting to discover how to live life authentically and on your own terms…
You’ve come to the right place, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey towards reclaiming what is rightfully yours -
your story, and your life.
““You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Carla Preiss
MA, LMHC
My name is Carla, and I work as a psychotherapist for humans, as well as a coach and facilitator for humans and their horses.
In my private psychotherapy practice, I support clients wanting to focus primarily on trauma recovery, identity exploration, and creating a life that supports and affirms their unique neurotype. Outside of the “office,” I also facilitate private sessions and clinics for individuals and their horses, where we focus on developing a true relationship based on mutual communication, understanding, and trust.
In both arenas, I work from a holistic lens that considers all of who you are and your lived experience in today’s world. In order to foster a therapeutic space that is safe and trustworthy, I make it my priority to engage in on-going self-reflection and learning, and frequently elicit your feedback.
My work is guided by wisdom found in existential and humanistic psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and somatic/experiential practices, as well as the Being with horses philosophy. As a therapist and facilitator, I am trauma-informed and culturally humble, and all sessions and clinics are tailored to the unique needs of my clients (and their horses).
I look forward to hearing your story, and embarking on this journey of self-exploration and healing with you.
