About me
Over half of my decades of experience, I have primarily worked with juveniles in the juvenile justice system, school counseling as well as, in in-patient settings. Additionally, I facilitated the children and teen units and was responsible for case management and was a vital part of the treatment team. Whilst working with the teen population, I conducted group, family and individual therapy with teenagers suffering from life stressors, anger issues, trauma and abuse, suicidal ideation/attempt, sexual identity issues and Axis I diagnosis such as bipolar disorder and depression.
I am an International therapist and have worked in the mental health field for over nineteen years and have been a licensed mental health counselor and Doctor of Clinical Psychology for eleven years. Additionally, I have worked with clients of all ages, cultures, Nationalities and from all walks of life dealing with a wide range of issues. My experience is vast as I have worked with the following: neuro-psychiatric, suicidal ideation/attempts, LGBTQIA, PTSD, anger management, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship counselor, school counseling, juvenile justice/ counseling, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, domestic violence, crisis intervention, codependency and group/family/individual therapy. Moreover, I work with clients to formulate and modify realistic, individualized treatment plans and goals. I will track your improvement and identify either an increase or decrease of desired feelings, behaviors and thoughts.
My therapeutic approach is wholistic and multi-theoretical. I utilize an amalgamation of approaches which are psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, rational-emotive, existential, client-centered, Jungian, mindfulness and motivational. Furthermore, my therapy style is inviting, non-judgmental, honest and always confidential. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Encouraging dialogue and reflective thinking is paramount in my sessions.
You have done yourself a great service by seeking help! We all need help in life and deserve a listening ear and undivided attention. I absolutely love helping people, genuinely care and my purpose is to guide one’s positive self-evolution.
I would love to be your therapist and together we will manifest amazing results!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jeralyn Carter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Dr. Carter is one of the best therapists I have ever had. She’s actually taken the time to understand my upbringing and help me work through trauma.
She’s been an amazing support especially during times where I had nobody to count on. She truly cares about her patients and it really shines through. I’ve never had a therapist like this. Someone who 100% actually cares about my well-being and finds ways to help
Dr. Carter is very honest and keeps me grounded. I love my sessions with her and I've never felt so welcome and secure during my sessions
She'll listen to you, but it's when she talks that you see the real passion about her job and helping people
Dr. Carter is a seasoned professional and knows how to handle every situation I’ve been through. She has been able to guide me through life seasons and build up my mental health toolbox to a large extent. I expect to work with her for a long time, and know that my healing will only continue and I will learn so much more from her. I have worked with her for almost a year now and she has been essential to where my mental health is today.
Dr.Carter really takes the time to listen and you get a sense that she really cares about you and your well-being. Always a great listener and makes me feel comfortable to open up.
Her attention to detail is uncanny. Not only does she hear everything you say, but she also hears the things you don't say. Dr. Carter is a great therapist with great knowledge, experience, and expertise. If you're looking for someone that feels like you're talking to a friend, Dr. Carter is the one!
Dr. Carter is definitely the best therapist we’ve had. She’s knowledge, compassionate and caring. She has an extensive background working with teens and is perfect at understanding and helping them.
Dr.Carter is an empathetic and knowledgeable therapist. She knows how to get right to the root cause of my issues and has amazing resources for overcoming and moving through difficult moments. Her expertise paired with her down to earth realness makes our sessions enjoyable and rewarding.
Working with Dr Carter in the latter half of 2021 was a revelation. Dr Carter was a supportive and informed ear to listen and prompted my own self discovery. I would recommend working with her for anyone who identifies as LGBT and especially as POC. Her insights were invaluable and helped me to overcome a very difficult period. Thank you Dr Carter for your support.
Jeralyn is an excellent and multi-faceted Therapist who is able to lead conversational sessions or more structured sessions informed by a wealth of resources. As a therapist , Jeralyn presents a great deal of consideration for her clients and has often made herself available to support above and beyond. I highly recommend Jeralyn as your therapist for her non-judgemental and eclectic approach.
She’s honestly the best. Really professional.
If you are looking for someone who will listen to you, help you see your problems as they are and give you concrete, realistic ways to work through them, Dr. Carter is that person. When I discovered teencounseling.com, I needed help to break out of a pattern of negative self-talk and avoidance of my problems. I didn't need positive affirmations or a cheerleader, which was what I had gotten with other therapists before. I was at a low point and Dr. Carter was able to help me through it so that I could function and see that it was not a lost cause. She understood my problems and what I wanted to accomplish through therapy. She helped me see where my patterns began and how I keep falling back into them. She continues to help me reframe and re-condition my thinking to break out of my negative patterns and I'm so grateful for her. I highly recommend Dr. Carter for her professionalism, empathy and expertise.
Dr. Carter has help me tremendously in such a short time. I’m looking forward to having her guidance on my healing journey. Thank Dr. Carter!
Dr carter is great. She is thoughtful and a great listener. I don’t feel like she is judge mental but listens and holds me accountable. She listens with full attention and takes good notes that she later will revisit with me. She is quick to respond and very kind. Highly recommend her :)
Dr Carter is so amazing. I’ve had anxiety for years and years and with just a few sessions I was learning things about myself and how to change my thinking and behaviors that better suited me so I can live without anxious worries. Dr Carter is very welcoming, non-judgemental and truly cares about you as a person and your therapist. She’s seen me cry and just let the tears flow while I got some things off my chest and not once did I feel shame or embarrassment, I know she has my back!
Dr. Carter is such a genuine and lovely person. She'll tell it like it is while still being kind and she helped me make real life changes that directly improved my environment and quality of life. I highly recommend Jeralyn, she is a wonderful therapist and more importantly a wonderful person :)
Most insightful therapist I have ever had.
Even just one session in I feel like I’m in great hands. She really listens to get a full understanding of the situation so she can help you tackle the process of healing
Dr. Carter is kind, patient and extremely helpful in working through issues. I enjoy our sessions and I always learn something new about myself.
Jeralyn is extremely caring and has helped me learn more about myself. I am so grateful for her help guiding me to learn more about myself, and I'm eager to see where she can take me in my journey of healing, self-growth, and attaining my best life possible.
She is great and professional
Love Jeralyn as my counselor. She is easy to trust and extremely approachable with my concerns. I feel she genuinely cares as more than just a counselor but more so a person. I feel I have found the right person to address some of my toughest concerns and things I’ve never felt comfortable enough sharing before.
