About

I have seen that mental health has been the most important issue in all of my personal relationships, and I have a passion for alleviating other people's suffering. When I discovered the tools of therapy myself, I wanted to share them.

Get to know Agnes Carbrey

I have seen that mental health was the most important issue in all of my personal relationships, and I have a passion for alleviating other people's suffering. I've also been an artist for 30 years, and I felt a passion for being an artist. Personally, I got therapy for borderline personality disorder. When I discovered the tools of therapy, I wanted to share them. I have also suffered from legacy trauma, which is a type of trauma that is passed from generation to generation. People unquestioningly learn behaviors or negative patterns, then later find that those behaviors or patterns don't work. My goal is to expose negative patterns and replace them with healthy, lovable, self-accepting patterns that allow for comfort and growth.

I feel that OCD is often overlooked in therapy. We are commonly taught techniques for trauma, depression, and anxiety. OCD often occurs alongside all those disorders, yet few people teach us about OCD in graduate school. ERP is a really good tool for many people who are seeking to have a more joyful life.

I'm also very interested in couples counseling and family counseling. I believe the couple is often the basis of a family, and you've got to have a healthy couple who are communicating and learning to have a healthy family.

You can trust me. I'm going to be there for you no matter what. And I'm going to help you get the tools you need to feel better. First, we'll develop our therapeutic relationship. We need trust. We need acceptance. We need to establish a sense that you can truly be who you are. Once we establish that trust, we start working on skills.

If you're afraid to share your thoughts with me, I will let you lead me toward what you are comfortable sharing. And we'll let things unfold from there.

My therapist has helped me hugely with my OCD. I never thought I’d ever be able to live with OCD and get any enjoyment from anything. It ruined my life. Thank you NOCD! You’re amazing.

Agnes is fantastic. I find my mindset rapidly shifting from “OCD will ruin my life” to “OCD is an annoying companion, but it won’t defeat me.”

I have been working with Agnes for about a year now, and despite having crippling agorophobia and existential OCD at the beginning, I am now completely free of both. Agnes has helped me through so much, and the turn around that I have experienced has been nothing short of a miracle. Thank you, Agnes! ❤️
