Hello, I'm Carly Rizzo (she/her). I offer both in-person therapy at our Haverford, PA, and Center City Philadelphia locations, as well as tele health sessions. I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC), and I am a NCC (Nationally Certified Counselor). I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Clinical Counseling from La Salle University and a Bachelor of Science in Health Professions from Temple University.

Whether you're exploring therapy for the first time, seeking a new therapist, or returning to therapy, I'm here to support you on your journey. My approach is centered on building a trusting relationship where you feel heard, understood, and validated.

I strive to be authentic and empathetic, recognizing that therapy can be a vulnerable experience. My style is relational, collaborative, and inquisitive, providing you with the space to express yourself and feel seen.

I respect your autonomy and aim to move at a pace that is comfortable for you, while also encouraging you to confront challenging emotions. This process can be uncomfortable, but it often leads to significant personal growth and insight. I will be by your side, guiding you through these experiences.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each individual’s needs. I am trauma-informed and utilize evidence-based interventions, including humanistic, behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. My clinical focus includes trauma, PTSD, relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, and borderline personality disorder. I work with young adults (16+) and adults. I am trained in EMDR, and find great satisfaction in helping my clients work through negative beliefs and heal trauma.

I am deeply passionate about my work and the opportunity to contribute to your healing process. By seeking therapy, you've already taken a crucial first step. I’m here to support you as you continue on this path and strive for the changes you want in your life.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new coffee shops, browsing bookstores, and cheering for the Philadelphia Eagles. I love the beach, movies, music, writing, and spending time with my cat, dog, family, and friends. Autumn is my favorite season.

If you feel like working together could be a good fit for you, please reach out to set up a 15 minute consultation call!
