Carolyn Knarr, M.S.W., L.C.S.W.
Welcome! If you are ready to begin the the journey of healing and hope, then you are in the right place.
The decision to begin that journey can be a difficult one, but I will provide leadership, insight, knowledge, and hope. Whether you have been in counseling before, or this is your first time, it is a life-changing experience I would be privileged to be a part of.
Change begins with relationship, and my clients and I have a special relationship of caring, compassion, and respect. We work together through many different kinds of issues, knowing that each client is unique and
needs to take the journey at their own pace and travel their own path. If you are at that starting place looking cautiously forward, I can take that first step with you.
