Carie Kipnis

Carie Kipnis, LCSW, CCTP, provides specialized therapeutic support for teens and adults navigating trauma, addiction, and nervous system dysregulation. Her practice is particularly helpful for individuals experiencing the physical and emotional symptoms of chronic stress, such as panic attacks, burnout, or sensory overwhelm. She offers a non-pathologizing approach that focuses on normalizing stress responses rather than labeling them as personal failures.

Utilizing advanced training in trauma-informed and somatic, nervous system-based interventions, Carie integrates evidence-based modalities including DBT, ACT, IFS, and harm reduction. Her work is deeply relational, prioritizing safety and trust to help clients build a steadier relationship with their bodies. She specializes in addressing complex needs such as ADHD, BPD, OCD, dual diagnosis, and neurodivergent-related challenges like chronic impulsivity or emotional disturbance.

Carie provides services via online telehealth, making support accessible from anywhere. She is a queer, transgender, and racial justice ally, committed to inclusive care. Many major insurance plans are accepted, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Highmark, Independence Blue Cross, and UnitedHealthcare.
