She is a very professional, friendly person; she makes you feel confident, and she is also very empathetic. She respects and listens to you and takes you to a space where you see everything more clearly, as well as allows you to tell your ideas and story so that when you speak, you find the errors thanks to her explanations, examples, and ideas.

Carmen is one of the best therapists I’ve ever worked with (and I’ve tried dozens!). She makes me feel seen and heard and supported. Thanks to Carmen, I have regained my lost sense of confidence and self-esteem. She helps me to be a better version of myself. Trustworthy and approachable, Carmen is consistently thoughtful, caring, respectful, and professional in our sessions. She listens to my concerns and helps guide me toward concrete coping mechanisms. I am so grateful to work with Carmen, and highly recommend her services.

I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support I received from Carmen. I had some unexpected delays on my first session. She was very patient with me and waited online for more than 15min.

Carman has an exceptional ability to listen attentively and provide insights that have truly helped me navigate the challenges I was facing. Their compassion and empathy created a safe space for me to open up and explore my thoughts and emotions.

Looking forward to taking more sessions with her soon.

Thank you, Carman.
