Carol Whitescarver is a Clinical Social Worker, independently licensed in Massachusetts, Indiana, and Arizona. She has 24 years of social work and psychotherapy practice with individuals and groups. Carol graduated from Marymount College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Psychology, and from Fordham University with a Master’s in Social Work. She has worked in outpatient treatment programs in her community and with veterans and active-duty army members and their families, as well as in residential programs for TBI, substance abuse, and mental illness within the Veterans Health Administration.

She currently works with adults who seek supportive and in-depth therapy for trauma, PTSD, life transitions, anger/behavioral issues, grief, relationship challenges, depression, and anxiety. Carol believes that each person has the ability and innate knowledge to grow and change, and that therapy must be creative, dynamic, and tailored to the individual. Whether using creativity, images, or more traditional talk therapy, her philosophy tends toward positive psychology that is strength-based, trauma-informed, flexible, enjoyable, and aligned with a person’s desired lifestyle. Carol believes that therapists must be genuine and able to create a ‘sacred space’ that is safe and supportive so that clients can relax and sense that they are respected, valued, and understood. A trusting therapeutic relationship that addresses Mind/Body/Spirit is essential to the process of growth and change, and Carol believes that humor, play, forgiveness, creativity, and gratitude practice hold a strong place in psychotherapy. Creativity, regardless of how it is expressed, is life-affirming and an extremely important asset when redesigning one’s life.

Perhaps you need a safe place to tell your truth, feel understood and accepted, learn new skills in coping or problem solving, or brainstorm your ideas/goals.

Therapy work with Carol includes compassion, warmth, humor, challenge, curiosity, and flexibility. She will help you find strengths, the courage to use your true voice, and the confidence to break free of patterns that no longer serve you well.
