Hi, I'm Carrie Kramer, a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing compassionate mental health care. I have extensive experience in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, working with patients of all ages. My goal is to improve your mental well-being using both medication and supportive therapy. I began my journey as a Registered Nurse in emergency settings and specialized cardiac care.

Currently, I offer telepsychiatry services at I-View Telepsych Mental Health Services. I focus on conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. My approach is friendly and evidence-based, tailoring treatments to meet the unique needs of each patient. Education is important to me, and I completed a Master's in Nursing with a focus on Psychiatric Mental Health from SUNY Upstate Medical University. I researched ways to prevent PTSD in young adults, reflecting my commitment to advancing mental health care. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to better mental health. Let's work together to achieve your wellness goals!

How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through secure, virtual therapy sessions that are designed to be just as impactful as in-person visits. Using video conferencing platforms, I create a safe, confidential environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings from the comfort of your own space. Remote therapy offers flexibility, making it easier to access support when and where it’s needed most. Whether you’re at home or on the go, I am committed to providing the same high level of care, attention, and support as I would in person, ensuring that you feel heard, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
I grew up in Dallas and always dreamed of becoming a counselor and creating a practice that helps individuals and couples with concerns and issues that have taken over their happiness. I grew up in a Mexican household where mental health was not believed to be something you sought help for. “You just have to get over it” was what I was told. When I went away to college, my outlook was expanded, and I sought counseling for myself. At that point, I realized the benefits and ultimately, the results of being in therapy. Now as a counselor, I see my clients growing, healing, and overcoming obstacles they feared they would never overcome. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world and now my purpose is to continue this journey to help others. *Treatment philosophy I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for my clients. My goal is to provide a healing space where trust and vulnerability can flourish. During the first session, I focus on understanding my clients by exploring their concerns, past traumas, recent life changes, and current coping strategies. Subsequent sessions are more flexible, centering on present challenges. Over time, I identify behavioral patterns that may contribute to anxiety and depression. With compassion, empathy, and a strengths-based approach, I aim to offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds can heal, grow, and reach their full potential. *Practice description Love Roots Therapy focuses on the mental health needs of adults, adolescents, and couples. Our practice provides virtual and in person counseling sessions depending on the preference of our clients. Our team is dedicated to helping patients achieve and enhance their psychological and spiritual well-being by using a variety of psychological modalities. Our counselors strive to meet our clients “where they are”. We provide an accepting environment using tools to help reframe and understand unconscious beliefs that keep us from moving forward. Our counselors work collaboratively with individuals to identify their goals, aspirations, and desired outcomes. We support individuals in developing strategies, action plans, and coping mechanisms to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The counseling process aims to empower individuals, fostering a sense of agency and control over their lives.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; together, we’ll design a plan that aligns with your lifestyle, whether that’s adjusting medications, managing side effects, or integrating therapy to support your growth.
