Your Healing Path

What To Expect

When you begin your sessions, you’ll enter a judgment-free zone where your experiences are honored and your voice is valued. Our time together offers a rare opportunity to slow down and listen to your inner world. With warmth and genuine curiosity, I’ll guide you to explore neglected or misunderstood areas of your life. You’ll find freedom to express unpleasant emotions, uncover hidden patterns, and prioritize long-neglected needs. Many clients share that they finally feel truly seen and heard—often for the first time.

“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 am able to process challenges and struggles. I wouldn’t trade her for any therapist in the world.”

COUPLES THERAPY

Resolving Relationship Conflict

Constant bickering is taking over your relationship. You can’t find common ground with your partner about anything. Resentment builds as you feel underappreciated and like you’re giving more than you receive.

Past hurts—broken promises, lies, moments of betrayal—remain unresolved despite countless hollow apologies. Being in “defense mode” has become your default, while intimacy has vanished and your partner feels like a stranger. Though separation comes up more frequently in conversation, and you’re exhausted by this toxic cycle, something in your heart isn’t ready to give up on what you’ve built together.

What appears as constant arguing often masks deeper issues—unmet needs, unspoken expectations, and wounds that haven’t properly healed. These root causes continue to fuel conflict until they’re addressed with compassion and understanding. The stress doesn’t just affect your relationship—it spills into every aspect of your lives, creating ripples that extend far beyond your immediate situation.

Through couples therapy, you’ll learn to express concerns without attacking each other and uncover the true sources of recurring conflicts. You’ll develop communication skills that foster genuine understanding while connecting with your inner world to identify your true needs. When we work together, I’ll guide you to speak directly to each other rather than through me. This isn’t about finding who’s “guilty”—it’s about creating a safe space where understanding can flourish and trust can be rebuilt. My approach focuses on transforming conflict into connection, helping you rediscover the partnership that once brought you both joy and fulfillment.

YOUR HEALING PATH

From Conflict to Connection

By engaging in targeted exercises, you’ll develop a deeper connection and learn to “co-regulate” your emotions together. You’ll gain insight into what’s happening beneath surface arguments and develop tools to navigate conflict constructively. Addressing root causes allows you to break free from destructive patterns and create the relationship you truly desire. If there’s still love, there’s still hope. Together, we can transform your relationship from a battleground into a space of genuine connection and understanding.

Therapy for Therapists

When the Healer Needs Healing

You know every story you hear is important, but when was the last time you paid attention to your own? As a fellow therapist, you wear multiple hats while balancing professional demands and personal life.

Despite your expertise in guiding others, you might find yourself struggling with burnout, impostor syndrome, or difficulty setting boundaries—all while feeling you should somehow be immune to these challenges. The weight of these expectations adds another layer to your struggle, making it harder to acknowledge when you need support yourself.

The very skills that make you exceptional at your work—deep empathy, attentive listening, and holding space for others—can make it difficult to turn “therapist mode” off. Friends and family naturally turn to you for support, and setting limits often triggers guilt. Meanwhile, your own needs remain neglected as you pour yourself into caring for others.

Through our work together, you’ll create space to tell your own story without judgment and address the root causes of burnout and impostor syndrome. You’ll reconnect with your authentic self beyond your professional identity and develop boundaries that honor your needs. Our sessions focus on self-acceptance using techniques centered on inner connection. You’ll explore what’s been neglected and rediscover the passion that brought you to this field. This inner work not only benefits you personally but enhances your effectiveness as a therapist, allowing your cup to be full enough to truly serve others again.

YOUR HEALING PATH

A Therapist Who Understands Therapists

Being on both sides of the therapeutic relationship gives me unique insight into your challenges. I understand the vulnerability of seeking help when you’re usually the provider. Our work together creates a confidential, judgment-free space where you can be yourself and explore your inner world. Remember what you tell your clients: changing patterns leads to different results. It’s time to prioritize YOUR wellbeing. You deserve to experience the inner peace that comes with authentic self-care.

"As a therapist who had been searching for my own therapist for a while, I'm so glad I finally found her. Working with her has been an amazing journey toward restoring balance in my life. I was completely burned out and had lost view of what was missing - simply existing on autopilot. From our very first session, I felt I could finally take action that came from genuine awareness rather than just going through the motions."

HYPNOTHERAPY

Transform Your Life Beyond Traditional Therapy

You’ve tried therapy before. It helped, but those deep-rooted issues and toxic cycles still persist. You understand your patterns intellectually—you know what you “should do”—but when the moment comes to apply those insights, something blocks you. That rational knowledge isn’t translating into lasting change.

Emotional scars don’t simply vanish after surface-level processing. Just when you think you’re making progress, something triggers you back to square one, deepening feelings of shame, blame, and resentment. You’re not alone in this struggle. If conventional approaches haven’t delivered the permanent healing you seek, perhaps it’s time for something different.

Hypnotherapy uses a state of deep relaxation to access both conscious and unconscious material that affects your daily life. During this process, you remain fully awake, aware, and in control throughout. Unlike traditional therapy that often stays at the cognitive level, hypnotherapy helps resolve the emotional roots of present-day challenges.

By working directly with your subconscious mind, we can address the hidden barriers preventing your conscious desires from becoming reality. This gentle yet powerful approach helps you release limiting beliefs and traumatic imprints that have remained stubbornly resistant to traditional talk therapy. Many clients report breakthroughs after just a few sessions that they couldn’t achieve after years of conventional treatment. Your mind already holds everything needed for healing—hypnotherapy simply provides the key to unlock it.

YOUR HEALING PATH

Transform From Within

You’ve tried therapy before, and while it helped, those deep-rooted issues and toxic cycles still persist. You understand your patterns intellectually—you know what you “should do”—but something blocks you from making lasting change. When emotional scars resurface, you find yourself back to old patterns. Hypnotherapy offers something different by using deep relaxation to access both conscious and unconscious material affecting your daily life. Hypnotherapy uses an accelerated option to break free from patterns you’ve struggled to overcome—all while remaining fully aware and in control.

“The Gestalt training was everything I thought it would be and then some! Right from the start you can immediately tell that Carmen is someone who is and has invested a great deal of time into making this experience worthwhile for everyone, and she is most definitely wanting to teach just as we all wanted to learn. The conceptual side of the training takes up a bit of the time frame, but when you have the chance to see it all come into action during the experiential part of it, you just can’t help but to be in shock and awe of how it is working, and how effective it is...

Of course now that it has come to an end the only thing I want now is more, more time to learn about Gestalt training and technique because there is still more to learn. Carmen was willing and able to answer any and all questions that we had during our time in the training and even outside (she still answers them on the Facebook page, which is awesome and a great way to connect even more to her and to the peers in the group!), this shows her dedication to the counseling process and to all of us that are taking her course. I would 100% recommend this training to others, as it has broadened my theoretical horizon and here’s hoping that soon she will even have a part 2 of her training course!”

Suzie P. LMHC

“I have never found a place here in Florida that provides training for this approach and shows all the different techniques Gestalt provides. During training, one of my favorite techniques was the “Body Scan” this training had taught me how to implement new techniques in my field. This is something I’ll definitely bring into a session with my clients. Thank you, Carmen for making this possible, I loved the training and how well was presented.”

Shellah M. BS

“I had the experience to improve my skills with Carmen. After this training, I was able to implement techniques as “the empty chair”and now I know how can I help clients to have amazing breakthroughs. She is a very qualified profesional in gestalt therapy. This course was awesome!!!
