Not a Substitute for Care
The content on this website, including blog posts, service descriptions, and any other material, is for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional mental health diagnosis, treatment, or advice, and it is not intended to address your specific circumstances. Reading this site does not create a therapist-client relationship between you and Sydney Carter, LPC, or Shadow Work Psychotherapy.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
I aim for the information on this site to be accurate and genuinely useful, but every person and situation is different, and therapy outcomes can't be predicted or guaranteed by anything you read here or, honestly, by anything said in a first session either. What's discussed on a blog post or service page is general in nature and won't necessarily apply to your situation.
If You're in Crisis
This website is not monitored in real time and is not equipped to respond to emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, please don't wait to hear back from a form submission:
Call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline)

Scope of Practice
Shadow Work Psychotherapy provides trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR, and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for adults in South Carolina. I'm licensed in South Carolina only, so both in-person and telehealth sessions are limited to clients physically located in South Carolina at the time of the appointment. Services described on this site are not appropriate for every concern, minors, couples counseling, or active psychiatric emergencies among them, see the New Client Form and Is This a Fit page for what is and isn't a good match.
