About Carolyn Duhn, LPC

Hi, I’m Carolyn Duhn—Therapist for Sensitive Souls and Deep Feelers

Fellow empath.
Recovering people-pleaser.
A woman who knows what it’s like to feel too much, care too deeply, and push too hard in a world that rewards disconnection.

A Journey From Self-Abandonment to Self-Compassion

Like many of my clients, I learned early on to silence my sensitivity.
To take care of others at the cost of myself.
To mask anxiety, ignore overwhelm, and push through fatigue—to fit into a culture that never made space for me as I was.

But eventually, my body, mind, and spirit demanded something different.
Chronic fatigue. Inflammation. Depression. Discouragement.
These weren’t flaws—they were messages. Invitations to slow down and listen.

Therapy Rooted in the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

That wake-up call led me to a more integrated path—one that honors the whole person.
I began to reconnect with my body’s wisdom.
To grieve and release ancestral and cultural burdens.
To ground in nature.
To explore a spirituality rooted not in fear or restriction, but in beauty, belonging, and wholeness.

This personal transformation became the foundation for how I support others today.

Holistic, Trauma-Informed Therapy for the Whole You

With over 15 years of experience, I now offer holistic psychotherapy that blends science and soul. I work with highly sensitive, deep-feeling clients seeking lasting relief and deeper reconnection—with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them.

My approach integrates:

  • EMDR Therapy for trauma and anxiety

  • Brainspotting to access deeper emotional healing

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) for inner harmony and self-understanding

  • EFT Tapping to regulate emotions and release stuck energy

  • Nervous system-informed, trauma-sensitive support with an attachment lense acknowledging the connection of the mind, body and spirit on the whole person.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy.
If one method doesn’t resonate, we shift.
Therapy should fit you, not the other way around.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

You’ve likely tried to push through, to fix it, to figure it out on your own.
But healing isn’t about force—it’s about remembering. Reconnecting. Reclaiming.

If you’re ready to try differently, to listen more deeply, to feel more alive in your own skin—
I’d be honored to walk with you.
