Counseling
Personalized psychotherapy sessions address trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. We employ evidence-based techniques like EMDR and EFT to help clients process emotional distress and develop coping strategies. Our approach emphasizes creating safe therapeutic environments for lasting emotional healing.
EMDR Therapy
Specialized Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy for trauma resolution. This proven method helps clients reprocess distressing memories through bilateral stimulation, effectively treating PTSD symptoms from both major traumas and common stressors like performance anxiety or medical procedures.

Emotional Freedom Technique sessions combine acupressure and cognitive therapy. Clients learn to self-regulate emotions by tapping on meridian points while addressing specific issues, providing practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and cravings through this accessible self-care technique.
Speaking Engagements
Educational presentations on trauma resolution and self-care at institutions like Northwestern University and Rotary International. Topics include spiritual wellness, body image, and stress management, delivered through interactive seminars that combine clinical expertise with practical applications.

Carol Moss is a wonderful effective therapist. She helped me to change my life in a truly positive way. She is the MOST skillful therapist at helping people who suffer from the effects of a traumatic experience - PTSD. Before I saw Carol, I had trouble sleeping because of thoughts reliving a trauma. After seeing Carol, at peace! She's a smart, kind and caring professional.

Carol gave up on me. I saw her for only 3 months and one day she told me that she could no longer see me.

Carol Moss is a great teacher and therapist. She recently taught me EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and it has helped me lower my anxiety level and I was also able to teach it to a friend who needed it too. Carol's instruction is both intuitive and fun, I highly recommend her!
