Carl Torrence is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) who earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University. He is passionate about helping individuals deepen their understanding of themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Carl believes that understanding our minds, bodies, relationships, and experiences can be complex. He recognizes that people do not have to navigate those challenges alone and strives to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel supported, understood, and comfortable exploring the things that matter most to them.

Carl has experience working with individuals across different stages of life and enjoys helping clients explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and relationships that shape how they see themselves and interact with the world around them. His approach emphasizes personal growth and self-understanding while helping clients develop practical skills for navigating challenges and creating meaningful change.

Carl draws from several evidence-based and integrative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. His approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that therapy should reflect each client's unique experiences, values, strengths, and goals.

For clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy, Carl also offers Christian counseling as part of his therapeutic approach. He follows the client's lead in determining whether and how spirituality or faith is included, creating space for clients to explore these areas in ways that are personally meaningful to them.

Above all, Carl believes meaningful change happens through connection and collaboration. He works alongside clients as they develop greater insight, move toward healing and growth, and create a life that more closely reflects who they are and what they value.

Outside of the counseling office, Carl serves as a Youth Pastor and enjoys playing volleyball with friends, spending time outdoors, hiking, and relaxing while listening to music.
