Hello, I'm Carolyn Ball
As the founder of Elevate Counseling, I'm so glad you're here.
Starting therapy always involves a bit of risk taking. It can be daunting to share the most intimate details of your personal story so if you're feeling a bit uneasy about it, that's completely normal. Elevate Counseling + Wellness is intended to be a warm and welcoming place for you to push past the discomfort and take the first steps toward figuring things out and living the life you want. Yes, therapy is hard work, but I am confident you’ll find the work worthwhile.
Please take the opportunity to delve into the services we offer for teens and adults. If you feel we will be a good fit for you or you just have some questions, I hope you'll reach out so we can get started.
We look forward to meeting you.

Carolyn has been an excellent counselor for me. She listens and hears what I am saying. She helps reframe my experiences in a practical, meaningful way. She encourages me to come up with ways to improve my life rather than tell me what to do. Time and time again she helped me become clear on how I can live a better, healthier life with more positive thinking.

When I first started seeing Carolyn my anxiety was so bad that some days I barely made it to work. I feel so much better now! She helped me deal with all the overwhelming parts of my life and taught me lots of different ways to deal with my anxiety. I recommend her to everyone I know dealing with the same issue.

Thank you for your help this past year. You really helped me get through a very rough time and I learned so much stuff from you about how to deal with life. I can't wait to start college in the fall. Thanks for everything.
