About
Hi, I’m Caroline Resari, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Coach. I work with people who are looking to gain awareness to the lives and action. I bring an enthusiastic, compassionate, non-judgmental, and strength-focused approach to guide people to reignite the love, life, excitement, passion and creativity in their relationships. I encourage you to see the possibilities that may be hidden or forgotten.
My clients include individuals, couples, and groups, and I am LGBTQ affirming.
Why I became a therapist: My dad was the administrator of a mental hospital. I visited often and saw things that most people would not consider normal. I learned to look past the illness and see people. I wanted to work at the hospital when I grew up.
When the hospital was sold, I still wanted to help and support people on their journey. I graduated with a BA in psychology at Mount Holyoke College, went to England for several years to live and work with kids with special needs, then came back for a masters at Smith College School for Social Work. Sine graduation, I have worked with families, couples, and individuals. I have also taken my own journey with my partner and have been on the other side of the “couch” to improve our relationship. Without all the work/play we’ve done with the Hendricks Institute, we probably would not be together today!
My training and education: I come from a strength-based perspective and mind-body integration approach. I see strengths in all my clients and help you utilize these strengths to live to your full potential. Through mind-body integration, I help you gain awareness of sensations happening in your body. You’ll learn how to consciously connect those feelings to emotions; to move through your feelings and express your emotions, rather than holding on to them. All the while we celebrate each step you make toward your goals!
The details: I have specific training in Collaborative Problem Solving and Solution Focused Brief Treatment. I am currently training with the Hendricks Institute; Gay and Katie Hendricks focus on conscious living and loving, and some of their books include The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level, Conscious Living: How to Create a Life of Your Own Design, and The Conscious Heart: Seven Soul-Choices That Create Your Relationship Destiny. I am passionate about what I do and love to bring what I learn back to my practice—as well to as my own life.
