On Saturday, November 14, 2020, Carol Hadlock died peacefully holding her daughter’s hand.


Carol was a founder of Process Therapy Institute along with her husband Don Hadlock who passed earlier this year in January. She was a major influence on the San Francisco Bay Area therapy world and ran Process Therapy Institute (PTI) for over 30 years. Carol and Don were groundbreakers in their approach to therapy. She brought an ability to be whatever the client needed at any moment that was charming and so simple in appearance, and yet brilliant when you witnessed the depth of her vision.  

Carol’s approach benefitted clients and other therapists alike in that she fundamentally changed their view of their world and relationships in them. Hundreds of clients and therapists are forever touched and changed because of Carol’s vision of healing.  

The Board at Process Therapy wants to acknowledge that we lost not only an integral part of PTI, but a giant in her own right in the therapy world. Carol and Don both shunned the limelight, but rather worked on creating their own army of Process Oriented therapists and in that they both succeeded. We wish to extend our condolences to their daughter Danyle, son-in-law Peter Johansson, as well as her son David and her three grandchildren, AnaLisse, David, and Linnae.

Memorial Ceremony to be named at a later time.
