More about Carmen
- 29 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have been a Psychotherapist for the past 29 years, I consider myself "seasoned" and not old. My favorite saying is "Trust the Process". I am Hispanic and Bilingual, I treat everyone with the upmost respect and like for you to feel comfortable as it will be easy to talk about what is happening. I specialize in Individuals, couples, Substance abuse and end of life. I sometimes say it gets worse before it gets better, as we have to deal with the difficult issues we have swept under the rug in order to be able to move forward and see things from a different perspective. Mindfulness, CBT, Solution focused therapy.
I specialize in CBT and solution-focused therapy, Mindfulness, but more than anything, I'm just an enthusiastic and down-to-earth person who wants to help you feel better, trust the process and we will work together.
If your shy, do not know what to expect, and ashamed of talking about what is going on, we will go slow, and work on making you comfortable and explain the process and what to expect.... we can work together so as you may feel comfortable and be able to work on achieving your goals... Trust the Process.....
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

helpful and friendly
She has been great! I always look forward to our talks!
Carmen has helped me process, regulate and cope with life so much better since starting counseling with her only a few months ago. I love that I can messager her if I feel I am starting to spin. Carmen has been able to squeezee me into her day so I can video chat before my spin get out of control.
Carmen is understanding and empathetic. She’s almost always on time and opens my next appointment for me in a timely fashion. She makes me feel heard and helps me to problem solve. She’s a great family based counsellor.
Insightful, approachable, practical, and empathetic all describe this remarkable therapist. I’m relieved and more confident to get through my challenges with each contact and hopeful for the future.
Excellent counsellor. Possibly the best I’ve ever had.
Amazing listener. I feel like I'm talking to a friend rather than a therapist. She makes it easy to vent and access and get a grip on my life!
Carmen just gets me. She has approached therapy with me in a playful and unorthodox way and talking with her feels like a weight has been lifted.
I have been working with Carmen for about a month and I have truly enjoyed it. She is wonderful, listens and I always feel better after sessions. Grateful to have found this site and her
