Our Expert Team
Carollyn McKinstry, LCPC, LPCC
Therapist and Practice Owner
As a Licensed Clinical Therapist and Practice Owner based in Ventura, California, I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solutions Based Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and other person-centered modalities to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. I believe in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop new skills, and find sustainable healing.
With over two decades of experience across public and private sectors, I bring both clinical expertise and deep empathy to every session.

Keily White
Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker
You don't have to walk this path alone. I believe everyone deserves to live authentically, and my passion is working with people who feel caught between life's demands and their own sense of self—helping them rediscover who they truly are beneath the weight of expectation. I believe that healing happens in relationship and connection, where you can show up fully and truly be seen.
In our work together, I draw on psychodynamic, intersubjective, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive principles to create a therapeutic space that honors your experience. Recognizing that no two people are alike, I adapt my approach to fit your unique circumstances, experiences, and therapeutic goals, ensuring that your therapy truly reflects and responds to your individual needs.
Change is possible even when it feels out of reach, and I'm here to support you through that journey. I'd be honored to hear your story.
