Meet Carly Rainé Canant

Hi, I’m Carly Rainé

(they/them) I’m an Oakland-based integrative wellness practitioner with a focus on helping neurodivergent, queer, and trans people release toxic stress, cultivate better relationships with themselves, and resolve experiences of developmental/interpersonal trauma through somatic, expressive, and relational modalities.

My Services

Explore My Offerings

Psychotherapy for Adults

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #108750) and provide psychotherapy for LGBTQIA+ identifying adults who reside in California. I partner with the San Francisco Therapy Collective to offer these services and am supervised by Cassandra Najarian, MFT (#88847).

Polarity Therapy

I provide Polarity Therapy, a consent-based touch modality that supports balanced connectivity throughout the body, increases overall well-being, and promotes trauma resolution. Clients remain fully clothed throughout the session. Sessions are about 60 minutes.

Expressive Arts Workshops

Participatory and experiential self-reflective explorations using authentic play, art materials, and group processes to increase emotional awareness, healthy expression, experiential capacity, and belonging.

Client Stories

Testimonials

Carly and the healing/container they offer profoundly supported me during a challenging and transformational chapter. Loving gentleness and magical surprise accompanied every session, creating auspicious conditions for meaningful healing.

– Polarity Therapy Client

After a romantic relationship of 7 years came to an end, a series of sessions with Carly helped me heal, discover, access, and integrate younger & hurt parts of myself. Now, I feel more alive, at peace, in love, and aligned with life than I’ve ever been.

My Values in Practice

01.

Inclusivity & Affirmation

I welcome people as they are. I practice curiosity and value learning from the perspectives, values, and beliefs within my traditional lineages and beyond them. I acknowledge every person’s unique being, belonging, and culture with sacred reverence. I am neurodiversity and gender-affirming.

02.

Autonomy & Consent

My practice is based on consensual relating, exploration, and, in the case of in-person Polarity Therapy, touch. A primary goal of this work is to support an increase or rediscovery of your internal sense of autonomy and your freedom of choice is invited throughout the work.

03.

Relational & Here Now

I believe that life is happening in the here and now and that our relationship to what we’re experiencing colors everything we sense and do. In creating a healing space with people, I emphasize noticing what’s happening in each moment and practicing meeting it with awareness, stability, and compassion.
