Testimonials
“I have been in therapy almost all my life and have worked with several therapists in the past; however, I never knew about Gestalt Therapy. Working with Carmen has impacted my life so much that it is incredible for me to say I’m not depressed anymore and feeling confident when saying it. I have tried Cognitive behavioral therapy for a long time and couldn’t ever change my train of thought.
Working with Carmen helped me realize the underlying sources of my depression as well as my unfinished business that was causing my self-defeating attitude all the time. People around me have noticed the change and it is so refreshing to look forward to the next day for a change. Her dedication and her focus on you becoming aware is incredible, learning how to “be in contact” has totally improved my outlook on life; and become self-acceptant of myself. I recommend her services to anyone struggling with depression or anxiety.”

“When I started seeing Carmen, my anxiety was always through the rough all the time, I couldn’t even make the simplest decision, my fears were affecting my life so much I was so stuck. After a few sessions with Carmen, it all started to make sense. Understanding where my anxiety was coming from and engaging in her techniques provided me with so much insight and control over what I needed to do that everything in my life started to be a lot easier.
Accepting myself was the new norm and I could finally have the strength to face my fears. Learning to navigate my emotions instead of always trying to distract myself was a life safer. I originally planned to see her for 3 months; however, now I continue to see her as I want to continue discovering myself. I recommend her to anyone who’s ready to make changes for the better in their life.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Carmen on my unaddressed grief over the loss of my father. In our session we did an empty chair therapy exercise to help release those unspoken words, thoughts and feelings that I have been holding on to since he passed away.
Carmen was patient and comforting as she walked me through every step of the exercise. I felt such relief afterwards. It was as if a weight was lifted from my chest.
I highly recommend working with Carmen. She truly cares for your overall well-being and wants her patients to get the most out of their therapy.”

“I’m glad I got the chance to have Carmen work with me. She’s insightful and knows how to help with what’s important. Depression and anxiety were a big thing for me because I knew that was the reason I stayed in active addiction for so long. She was quick to address that and worked with me in depth, so I was able to identify what the causes were. Personally, coming up with some coping skills with her is an important part of my relapse prevention plan because it gives me healthy ways to get past whatever I’m going through. She knows how to touch on triggers and other factors that used to be problems for me and helped me work past them to get back to the person I used to see in myself. I noticed she made sure to touch base on multiple things to find out which parts were affecting me the most. She’s somebody I knew I could reach out to if I was ever struggling with something. She never told me no if I came to her with a problem and always figured something out if I wanted a second option.
I would always recommend Carmen as somebody that will help each person on an individual basis. She helps everybody she can and gives off a positive atmosphere which was something I always appreciated and looked forward to.”

“Carmen is an awesome therapist. I meet with her once a week. Carmen helps me walk through situations to see the outcomes by taking several paths. She really pays attention to your concerns and struggles. She listens to your needs and frustrations. Helps analyze what is needed and is not. While helping you process situations and tackle inner issues, she guides you through a process to find the real underlying issues. After my sessions with her, I feel a weight off my chest and able to process challenges and struggles. I Wouldn’t trade her for any therapist in the world.”
