Dear all,

It’s time for a new introduction!

My name is Lotta Carter and I am a licensed psychologist based in Dalarna, Sweden. In 2023 I decided to start fulfilling my dream of a psychotherapy practice of my own – to live my best life and give my best in psychotherapy. 

I work primarily with affect-focused psychotherapy, which means a focus on feelings, anxiety, and defense mechanisms (ways we shy away from life as it is because historically it was too painful or risky to act differently). I adapt my methods based on what’s in front of me since one size does not fit all. Read more about how I work here and about the method I use, ISTDP, here.

Other facts about me are that I’m a mother of two, I practice Zen Buddhism, and, I love to write, paint, and hike. 

May you be well!

Love,
Lotta
