About me

Carmen Altopiedi L.C.S.W. Therapy Works

During Difficult times in life, we may experience feelings of loneliness, isolation and sadness; these are very normal reactions to situations and traumas we encounter. I would like to assist in coping with some of these feelings. Part of my experience as a seasoned therapist is to assist and listen, and together we can tackle life’s challenges, leading to a healthier outlook on life. I worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, I believe in meeting the client were you are and together developing a therapeutic plan that is tailored to meet you needs.

I’ve worked with a vast population with a wide range of concerns, LGBTQ+ senior population, isolation, loneliness, depression, and anxiety to name a few.

I look forward to working together.

Carmen is extremely professional, understanding, and clearly passionate about his work. I haven’t felt like I connected with a therapist so easily before, and after only a month of therapy, I can see how much he has helped. Highly recommend!

Carmen has been extremely adept in finding the right questions to ask to help me navigate a relationship issue I'm working through. Not only has he helped directly, but his insights have made it possible to improve the communications in my primary relationship. I highly recommend Carmen. The only reason not to would be to conserve appointment space for myself :)
