Carrie Vanderbilt has spent most of her life immersed in mental health and neurodivergent studies. In her early days as a counselor in a corporate setting during the “dawn of mental health awareness,” Ms. Vanderbilt worked with those who were struggling with integrating newly diagnosed issues with a fast-paced corporate culture.
She later moved to the private sector, where she has continued learning about current mental health trends, challenges, and common concerns among those who have been recently diagnosed, or feel they may have been incorrectly diagnosed. Though Ms. Vanderbilt is not a medical doctor, her many mentors have shared with her how various cultures have developed certain attitudes toward mental health. In her discussions with individuals, she works to help each person discover how they may be standing in their own way of their self-defined ideal of “success.”
Ms. Vanderbilt enjoys working with those who are attempting to balance being full-time professionals with being full-time parents. Raising two children has been the basis of many of her mental health and wellness studies, from her own struggles with postpartum depression to understanding how our emotions develop in children, from newborn to teenage years.
For Ms. Vanderbilt and many experts in the field of mental health, staying abreast of our emotions and actions, and understanding how each piece of the puzzle fits together. Not only is she a dedicated student of mental health, but she also lives with a variety of mental health challenges directly and indirectly, making this a continuous topic of study and understanding.
