Carla Bauer, LMSW received her MSW from the University of Georgia and is currently a candidate in psychoanalytic training at Emory University. She holds prior masters degrees in theological studies and business administration and brings 20 years of corporate experience to her work with clients. She completed clinical internships working with diverse individuals and groups dealing with a variety of life struggles. Carla works from a psychodynamic orientation, drawing on attachment theory, object relations, and contemporary relational models of psychotherapy, to work with the deep long-term wounds and patterns that help shape clients’ self-perceptions and current experiences and struggles. She enjoys working with life transition and identity issues, including divorce, mid-life crises, and older adult life review, as well as relationship struggles, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and the general search for meaning. Carla strives to create an open and safe environment where clients can express and explore authentic feelings and lost aspects of self often censored in general society, toward greater personal insight, growth and change. She believes that an accepting and validating therapy relationship can be a key element to the healing of old wounds and opening up possibilities for new and better experiences.
