About Carrie Gajowski

Carrie Gajowski is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people recover from narcissistic and emotional abuse and rebuild their lives. Many who have endured manipulative or gaslighting relationships arrive feeling confused, hurt, and isolated, often questioning themselves and searching for answers. Carrie recognizes how disorienting it can be to realize a relationship is not what it seemed and to face the difficult decision of whether to leave.

Carrie works with individuals navigating the aftermath of emotionally damaging relationships as well as those coping with anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She creates a client-centered environment where emotions and experiences can be explored without judgment, and she adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Her practice draws on an eclectic mix of techniques, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices, to support healing and practical change.

Her priorities include helping people establish relationships in which they feel seen, heard, and respected, and supporting steps toward greater self-trust and autonomy. Carrie guides clients toward clearer boundaries, improved communication, and a stronger sense of self so they can move forward on their own terms.
