You are welcome here.

Carrie Soper, M.A., LCPC, EMDR-II, NARM

Hi, I’m Carrie.

I believe healing doesn’t happen through perfection — it happens through connection, honesty, compassion, and finally feeling safe enough to exhale.

I’m a Clinical Psychotherapist, Writer, Speaker, widow turned “Therabestie,” and above all, a mom, daughter, sister, and friend. Some of my favorite moments are getting lost in a local bookstore with an iced coffee in hand or soaking in the quiet beauty of nature from my porch swing — the very place that inspired the heart behind this practice.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Saint Mary and am clinically licensed in both Kansas (LCPC) and Minnesota (LPCC). I specialize in trauma therapy with advanced training in EMDR through EMDRIA and NARM through The Complex Trauma Training Center.

At The Porch Swing KC, I provide compassionate, personalized therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, complicated grief and loss, and life transitions.

Therapy here is never one-size-fits-all. I create individualized treatment plans alongside each client, offering trauma-specialized  care tailored to your unique story, experiences, and goals. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with genuine empathy, nervous system awareness, and real-life understanding.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and supported — not judged or rushed.

The Porch Swing KC proudly offers TELEMED therapy services throughout Kansas and Minnesota, making it easier to access meaningful support from the comfort of home.

If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, you don’t have to keep doing it alone. Healing is possible, and your story deserves a space where it can be heard, honored, and transformed.

I’m grateful you’re here — and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
