Carly Snyder - Therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I will always show up as my authentic self, and I believe the relationship we build is just as important as the tools and techniques we use. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where real connection creates real change.

One of the ways I do this is by using our relationship as a model for growth — we’ll pay attention not just to what we talk about, but how we relate to one another. This means I’ll be engaged, honest, and fully present with you. I won’t be the kind of therapist you disclose everything to while knowing nothing about in return. While I keep the focus on you, I also bring my humanity and genuineness into each session.

This approach helps us build a foundation of trust and mutual respect — so you can feel seen, supported, and challenged in the ways that matter most for your growth.

My life experiences motivated me to become a therapist; I wouldn’t be the person or therapist I am today without them. I’ve relied on my own therapy during some particularly difficult chapters — like navigating my early twenties while caring for my father through his illness, and later in life, as I faced fertility challenges. I know firsthand how powerful it can be to have someone walk beside you during painful or uncertain times, and it inspired me to be that person for others. These experiences shaped not only who I am, but also how I show up in the therapy room: with compassion, presence, and a deep respect for the strength it takes to be vulnerable.
