Hi, I’m Carmen Ardoin, LPC, and I’m really glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s toughest moments. As a therapist, I understand how important it is to have a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. My work has taken me into homes, schools, juvenile courts, DFCS offices, and community agencies, so I’ve truly seen how complicated life can get.
I’ve helped children, teens, and adults who are dealing with things like:
• Stress and overwhelm
• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma and difficult life experiences
• Parenting challenges and family conflict
• Behavioral concerns with kids and teens
• Court involvement or child welfare stress
• Relationship struggles and communication issues
What it’s like to work with me:
Therapy with me is real and supportive. There’s no judgment here — just space to breathe, talk, process, and grow. We’ll focus on what matters most to you and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions. We’ll celebrate progress, find moments of humor when we can, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
I use a mix of approaches like CBT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness — but I always tailor the process to fit you. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and capable of creating change in your life.
Who I love working with:
• Adults juggling a lot and trying to find balance
• Kids and teens who need someone in their corner
• Parents and caregivers building healthy family relationships
• Youth or families involved in foster care or juvenile court
• Anyone ready to heal, grow, and feel more like themselves again
Starting therapy can feel like a big step — and it is. But it’s also a courageous step toward the life and peace you deserve.
Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you. 💛
