Karrah founded Daylight Counseling in 2023 following her passion to work with women, for women in creating a space where they can prioritize their needs.
Karrah works with women who are tired of being everything for everyone else—those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of where they’ve lost themselves along the way. Whether you’re moving through a life transition, navigating complex relationships, or unpacking old wounds, Karrah will meet you with empathy, gentle accountability and respect for your pace.
When working with Karrah you can expect real conversation, deep presence, and moments of insight that gently shift the way you relate to yourself and the world. Karrah integrates evidence-based counseling techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure response prevention therapy, cold water therapy and many others to support the whole of you—body, mind, and soul.
Karrah is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW), certified integrative nutrition health coach and Thermalist instructor. Karrah also holds certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C), specializing in the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.

Outside of session I am a wife, mom and proud dog owner. My greatest passion is travel and I am always planning my next adventure. I love spending time in the ocean year-round, but especially in the winter! I believe in deep connections, good food and that dog snuggles can cure most things.

Bridget Batcheller – LCSW
Bridget is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting teens and adults across the lifespan. She earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Simmons University in 2020 and discovered early in her career a passion for helping individuals manage stress and navigate life’s challenges through a holistic lens.
In 2019, Bridget completed her 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training. After experiencing the positive impact of yoga on her own mental health, she became interested in the therapeutic benefits of movement and mindfulness. Today, she thoughtfully weaves these practices into her clinical work and continues to deepen her approach through ongoing mentorship.
Bridget’s therapeutic style is rooted in mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while maintaining a person-centered and strengths-based perspective. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or everyday stress, Bridget’s goal is to help you better understand your emotions, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your inner strength and potential.
Outside the therapy room, Bridget enjoys curling up with a good book and her dog, Sierra. She stays active by walking, spending time outdoors, and practicing yoga at home or in a studio.
