More about Carmen

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Carmen, I am originally from Colombia and have been living in the Unites States for the last twenty-two years. I completed my master’ degree in professional counseling in the state Georgia where I also hold an active license to practice professional counseling.

I have had the privilege to work with English and Spanish speaking adult clients to effectively help them overcome issues caused by depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, self-esteem, and abuse. I can help clients maintain sobriety from all kinds of addictions.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to assist people looking to improve their quality of life, shift perspectives from un-adaptive to adaptive and thrive in the midst of adversity.

I prefer to work with adult but I also have had success treating clients ages of 13 and above.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

This was my first time seeing a therapist and I appreciate her patience with me and listening to me. She understands my concerns about myself and guide me in the right direction on how to move forward with my concerns and issues to a better health and lifestyle. She is absolutely great. I would recommend her to anyone that I know and don't know that need help in our life's journey.

Carmen is a fantastic therapist. She is kind, compassionate and understanding. At the same time she is great at gently giving you a nudge to help you take actions and do activities out of your comfort zone.

A.L.·Aug 2022

Carmen, what can I say really? Except a huge thank you... I started this journey with a few goals in mind, and believing I knew what I wanted to achieve, but after a few sessions it became evident that the issues I had to resolve were a lot deeper and required a lot more deep thinking, reflection, compassion and reprogramming. I have had therapy before, but I never fully felt understood. Carmen is professional, funny, compassionate, deeply understanding and patient. After years of being an avoidant, and having deeply insecure attachments to places and people, as well as anxiety (that over the past couple of years got worse and worse), last December (2021) I decided to go on a journey of letting go, and self reprogramming - this involved amongst other things, NO dating for a year, and confronting my "fears" such as rejection, and people pleasing tendencies, to pursue a life that is more authentic. I decided to get a therapist as there was only so much I could achieve on my own, and I was very happy to find someone like Carmen - someone who understood and supported my journey, who calmed my fears and anxieties, took a lot of the drama out, gave me perspective, tools, humour and objective, gentle support. I always felt her secure presence and wisdom (and experience), but never felt like I was ever out of control, it's a great thing to have a therapist who gives you autonomy and reminds you of your own strength, character and shows you how to build trust in yourself. I am now ready to take this new found trust in myself, and lighter-way of seeing things, to practice the tools Carmen has taught me, to create and stick to boundaries in the next stage in my life - and the bonus..... ?! That I am finally in what feels like a secure, healthy, caring and gentle relationship, with someone who is supportive and trustworthy and kind - I am not sure that I would've allowed myself this prior to therapy, and Im not sure I even would've recognised what was a healthy relationship ... So, thanks Carmen, I hope I won't need to have therapy again, but at least I know where to turn if I do! Highly recommended :)

Very professional and friendly, she let me open up to her at my own pace and never seems overwhelmed by my issues.

H.A.·Jun 2022

Carmen is fantastic, honestly, I couldn't ask for a better therapist. She is extremely perceptive, and in just several months, seems like she knows me better than I know myself. She always thinks of my best interests and keeps us on track in terms of therapy goals. She is genuine, caring, and absolutely helpful. Thank you, Carmen, for being there for me!
