About Carol

Carol Peindl is a psychotherapist and licensed clinical nurse specialist (CNS). She has been in private practice for 21 years and thoroughly loves her work. While Carol provides therapy and guidance to assist individuals with many different issues, including those of general anxiety and depression, she specializes in providing counseling and psychotherapy services related to the following:

  • Postpartum Depression/Anxiety
  • Infertility
  • Miscarriage and Perinatal Loss
  • Couples Counseling
  • Grief and Loss
  • Women’s Issues
  • Senior Issues
  • General Trauma
  • Birth Trauma (experiencing a difficult delivery or a delivery that didn’t go as planned)

In her private practice, Family Foundations, Carol believes that because each client is unique and struggling with his or her own unique issues, it’s important to tailor the counseling approach to match the client and his or her needs. Combining this belief with Carol’s love of learning and training, throughout her career, Carol has obtained an extensive toolbox from which she can pull a variety of different approaches and skills.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, Carol worked for 25 years as a Registered Nurse (RN). During her time as a nurse, Carol gained valuable experience working with new moms and babies, and the issues new moms can face, like postpartum depression. This prompted Carol to co-found The Prenatal & Postpartum Center of the Carolinas (PPCC). For the 15 years it was open, PPCC grew into a large practice of several specially-trained clinicians serving women, mothers, and families coping with prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety. Carol is trained in perinatal mood disorders through Postpartum Support International (PSI), an organization for which she is also one of the North Carolina Coordinators connecting individuals with therapists.

As a nurse, Carol also worked with troubled adolescents and led groups for couples struggling with infertility. Carol became passionate about assisting individuals and couples with infertility after she and her husband endured six years of infertility issues before giving birth to her two children. She works with couples and individuals struggling with issues of infertility as well as those coping with miscarriage and forms of perinatal loss.

In her spare time, Carol enjoys hiking, bike riding, yoga, reading, and spending time with her family and grandchild.
