Carol Dundes is a licensed professional counselor who graduated with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Geneva College in December of 2021. Following her exemplary internship at Samaritan as a graduate student, she transitioned to our post-graduate residency program and earned her state licensure. Carol works extensively with couples, families, and young people, helping families and individuals heal, grow, and achieve wellness. 

 

Her prior experience volunteering with the teen grief program, Young Adult Beginning Experience, helped Carol to see the great need for grief work and its transformative powers; this really opened her heart to working with young people. Exploring the impact that family and close relationships have on mental health has empowered Carol to assist her clients in establishing or rediscovering strong foundations at home.

 

Adopting a person-centered, holistic approach, Carol works with her clients, whether individually, in families, or in groups, to build strengths in all areas of her clients' lives, including spirituality. Sensitivity to diversity in all its forms is extremely important to Carol, whether that be sexual preference/gender identity, age, ethnicity, spiritual/religious beliefs, disabilities, or others, and she constantly seeks to respect and learn from everyone she meets. Carol's own exposure to counseling helps her understand the joys, sorrows, hopes, and fears that her clients may be feeling as they consider seeking better mental health, and she offers an empathetic, individually tailored counseling experience.
