Get to know Carey Rand

I’ve always been drawn to seeking a better understanding of the human psyche and condition, both the internal structures of our minds and external world through which we navigate. I’ve always had the desire to forge authentic connections with people and make positive impacts in their lives, which led me to studying psychology in college. To continue my training, I was drawn to pursue a masters in clinical social work due to the field’s emphasis on how social, cultural, and economic factors influence each of our lives. My particular areas of interest and practice involve integrating psychodynamic and psychoanalytic concepts focused on mapping the depths of our psyches with these large-scale forces and each individual’s place within them.

Working in mental health, I greatly enjoy the practice of applying the concepts and theories of our internal worlds and behavior to the distinct lives of every individual I work with. I know that people who enter into therapy often do so during a very difficult and vulnerable time in their lives, and I prioritize the importance of building a strong rapport and supportive relationship with each client so they don’t have to address the difficulties in their lives alone. I believe the best and most rewarding part of my work is seeing client’s tap into their own strength and resilience to overcome obstacles, change harmful patterns, and gain deeper insight into themselves and their place in the world.
