Clinical Psychotherapist, Certified Integrative Yoga Therapy Teacher, Crystal Bowl Sound Healer, Goddess Guidance Intuitive, Certified Expressive Arts Therapist.
Online Counseling for Women
Infused with Feminist Therapeutic Awareness, Modern Neuroscience, and Ancient Yogic Wisdom
Reclaim Your Wholeness. My holistic counseling approach offers insightful and practical support for radical self-care and empowerment for your mind and body, heart and intuition, love and work, spiritual and emotional well-being.
Being at true peace is not about denying or rejecting any part of ourselves or our human experiences. The integrative therapeutic process requires compassionately and courageously holding all of our complexity in a full embrace of awareness.
Therefore, I offer 1.5 hour sessions, instead of the standard “50 Minute Therapy Hour” to allow time to integrate other optional healing modalities to enhance “Talking Therapy.”

Clients Say
Met in Mexico and Continued Meeting From Afar
As a Registered Nurse working in a San Francisco hospital, I have a career that is stressful. I wanted a Psychotherapist and also a spiritual mentor to help me with my anxiety, stress and personal growth. I love ending each counseling session with a Goddess Card Reading. The readings give me extra insight at a spiritual level of all of the topics discussed in the session. Carmela is always spot on! My confidence and boundaries have improved dramatically since I have worked with her and I have connected with my spiritual self.
I met Carmela in Sayulita, Mexico after having a terribly traumatizing traveling experience. Carmela offered me counseling paired with crystal bowl sound healing meditation. Her kindness and calming voice, along with the crystal bowls sound healing meditations helped me recover quickly from the trauma.
I have since had the honor to work with Carmela on the telephone over the past few years. She reviews my health with a holistic approach. We cover everything from my anxiety, lifestyle, dating and work life, creating and strengthening boundaries with family and friends, and managing co-dependent and narcissistic people in my life. Carmela reminds me to come from a place of power and to follow my Goddess intuition and inner wisdom.
I highly recommend Carmela to anyone seeking counseling and spiritual growth. She is an AMAZING gifted Healer and Psychotherapist!

Integrative Psychotherapy and Expert Yoga Nidra Meditation with Sound Healing
Carmela Carlyle was the guest teacher for our yoga retreat leading a session that included an informative introduction to the ancient psychological yoga technique and a bit about the contemporary medical research supporting its efficacy. She offered an amazing Yoga Nidra Meditation Crystal Bowl Sound Journey and facilitated an insightful discussion afterwards. Carmela is an impressive, professional facilitator.
I was particularly interested in Carmela’s work, as I am a Physician and a student of Integrative Psychotherapy for the past 15 years. I followed up with private sessions in her home yoga studio.
It is my opinion that she provides a safe and elegant method of guiding self-exploration into the world of non-duality. It is based on the wisdom of Patanjali and its purpose is to integrate the dualities within us to bring us toward wholeness and healing.
I would highly recommend Carmela Carlyle as a facilitator both in groups, and one-on-one. Dr. Barend Grobbelaar, M.D., British Columbia, Canada
