Welcome Carol Ballen RSW the Corydon Ave. location!

We are excited to welcome Carol Ballen to our mental health practitioner team! Carol is a Registered Social Worker. She offers appointments in-person and remote out of our Corydon location with daytime weekday availability.

“Hello, and welcome. While it has not likely been an easy, comfortable journey for you, try considering your arrival at this place where you are now seeking counselling as the tipping point towards growth and change. As a Registered Social Worker, I would be honored to counsel you as you continue to move forward, and work towards your goals.

Are you interested in improving your parenting skills, or relationships with your children, partner, family or work colleagues? Would you like to change your habits and develop healthier coping strategies? Are you wanting help resolving past trauma, or addressing low self-esteem and body image issues? Maybe you are dealing with grief and loss, infertility, chronic illness or mental health issues (anxiety and depression). I specialize in the areas of parenting, relationships, mental wellness and life transitions. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space in which to explore your past, process feelings, identify goals and develop new skills so that you can experience personal growth and empowerment.

My practice is built on over 15 years’ experience in counselling and social work. Throughout my career I began to see that there’s no one thing each person needs to get “unstuck” and reach their goals. It’s only when we feel fully resourced throughout our lives—emotionally, mentally and practically—that we have the tools we need to move forward.

Drawing on my diverse background and expertise, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their unique strengths and resources, both internal and external, and to develop customized plans for achieving their goals. My therapeutic approach derives from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Trauma Informed Therapy.

When I am not at work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, being a mom, savoring family and lake time, walking and playing with our high energy pup, trying a little yoga and travelling.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.“
