Carly Fleming

Owner & Director | Registered Psychotherapist

My vision for everwell is to create a virtual space where people feel safe, seen, and supported in every part of their mental health journey. I’m glad you found us! Here you will find an incredible team of therapists who are ready to hold space for whatever you bring into your virtual session. They are warm, compassionate, experienced and here for YOU!

A bit about me? I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and I’ve spent over 20 years supporting individuals, couples, and therapists through some of the trickiest parts of their lives. Now my focus is on supporting the team at everwell and helping to train our therapist interns (the next generation of therapists). In addition to my role at everwell, I am the proud co-founder of In Good Company and Waiting Room. As you can see, I am passionate about this work and creating sustainable solutions for everyone who works in the mental health field.

Q & A with Carly

What made you decide to choose your current profession?

“I just always knew that helping people navigate their difficult circumstances was something I was good at. I think I first had this realization when I was 12 years old.”

Why should a potential client come to everwell?

“Each team member at everwell is a member of YOUR team.  We are all here to help you make the changes you want to make.  You will find a space dedicated to a community of like-minded people who want to do better, be better, and feel better.  You will feel like you matter... because you do.”

What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about mental health?

“Mental health isn't an either/or situation. We are neither mentally well or mentally ill.  Mental health exists on a continuum and each and every person would benefit from paying attention to and nurturing their mental health, whether or not they are 'struggling' with their mental health.”

What does ‘integrated health’ mean to you?

“Often health is looked at one piece at a time.  This isn't helpful as our bodies and minds aren't a collection of pieces - we exist as a whole.  Integrated health services look at people as a whole being. We may pay attention to one piece of the puzzle at a time but we are always keeping the whole person in mind.” 

What does 'wellness' mean to you?

“Wellness is a feeling you have when you look inside yourself and feel that everything is as it should be. Not many of us can say we have this full experience but the quest for this kind of wellness is one of the most important quests a person can go on.”

How does what you do contribute to better health?

“Therapy helps people develop insight into their emotional lives, their relationships, and how they go to be the way they are.  This kind of insight can be transformative as we often move through our lives without recognition of these things.  When we have insight we have a sense of control and agency.  When we have control and agency we can actively work to make empowered choices that help improve our life circumstances.”
