Hi, I’m Carmen. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with over six years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Iona University and provide therapy in both English and Spanish to support access across diverse communities.
My approach is culturally sensitive, compassionate, and client-centered. I honor the identities, values, and experiences that shape who you are. Whether you’re facing stress, identity concerns, relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and supported.
Integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, person-centered therapy, and self-compassion practices, I tailor each session to support your unique needs. Together, we’ll work toward deepening your self-awareness, strengthening your resilience, and moving closer to a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
