This was my first experience with a therapist.
I wasn’t enthusiastic about trying therapy, but I have changed my mind. Carmen has helped me, The things to which she has introduced me are valuable to me and will continue to be.
She is such a wonderful person. She is quiet. She is definitely a great listener, and I felt like she really cared about me. I am grateful to her. Thank you for this opportunity to review my excellent experience with Carmen.

I love working with Carmen! She’s very direct, but gentle in her approach and knows when I need an extra push and when to pull back. She’s helped me with a lot of my personal stuff and I’m really grateful for her expertise.

Carmen is a great listener. She listens for the core of the problem and helps me look at things from a different perspective. She helps me with re-wording my words to avoid confrontation a to get a better response.
