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

She has been one of the best therapist I have ever had. She really helped me break down some walls I had with myself. She is knowledgeable in her practice and continues to keep learning.

Carmen understood what my primary issues were more than I did. She helped me identify them and troubleshoot ways to change my environment to improve quality of life. Would definitely recommend and will come back myself as soon as I'm off mat leave and getting steady income.
