Psychotherapy for Mental Health

Psychotherapy for Mental Health with a licensed professional counselor (LPC) provides a supportive and structured environment to address emotional and cognitive challenges. Through evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care, the therapist helps clients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and reframe negative thought patterns. For anxiety, therapy may focus on reducing excessive worry and managing physical symptoms; for ADHD, sessions might include skill-building for focus, organization, and impulse control; and for PTSD, trauma-processing techniques can help clients work through distressing memories and triggers. A compassionate LPC tailors treatment to each individual's needs, fostering resilience, self-awareness, and overall mental well-being.

Carmen specializes in working with disorders related to anxiety, attention and trauma. An integrative approach to counseling can provide deep and lasting relief by blending a variety of therapeutic modalities in order to address your unique needs. Cognitive and behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, fostering healthier coping strategies. A humanistic approach ensures you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your strengths and personal growth. Psychoanalytic methods uncover deeper, unconscious influences that may be shaping your emotions and behaviors, while a constructionist perspective helps you reframe experiences and build a more positive self-narrative. Systemic therapy considers the impact of relationships and social dynamics, providing tools to improve communication and support systems. By drawing from these and a wide variety of therapeutic perspectives, Carmen creates a comprehensive, personalized approach to help you reduce and eliminate mental health disorder symptoms, leading to greater self-awareness, increased confidence, and overall well-being. 

While Carmen specializes in anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD, she is open to working with individuals facing differing mental health concerns and peak performance goals. Using a compassionate and personalized approach, she tailors therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, even if their specific issue is outside her primary areas of focus.
