About Me
Welcome. My name is Becky Carter. I am a licensed trauma therapist at Family Resilience Group in Arlington Heights, IL. I bring more than two decades of experience in helping people of all cultural backgrounds and genders heal the wounds of relational trauma that occur in utero and beyond. I am trained in both Somatic Experiencing and Transformative Touch Therapy.
“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
~Pema Chodron
Services
Therapy
I offer therapy to individuals, couples and groups. My approach is non-oppressive and focuses on supporting agency and embodied empowerment. I am committed to maintaining my own regulation and resilience so that I can be a coregulating and attuned witness for my clients. I utilize my training in somatic therapy, transformative touch work, complex trauma, and dissociation to support clients in their growth. I work with clients collaboratively and mindfully to support somatic awareness, regulation, curiosity and to reduce shame.
Consultations
I offer a compassionate, non-oppressive, somatically informed space for those who are looking to discuss and receive guidance, education and resources regarding clinical cases and trauma related concepts. I enjoy providing information, education and potential resources to support your professional growth.
All consultation services are offered via Zoom.
Trainings
I offer a variety of presentations and training/discussions to the community and speak about trauma related topics with an anti-oppressive and somatic focus. I have had the honor of speaking at a range of organizations, therapy practices, counseling agencies, mental health hospitals, and more. Feel free to read more about my trainings under the drop-down menu. The rate for trainings is dependent on a variety of variables and can be discussed upon inquiry.
