LGBTQIA friendly. My practice is centered around human issues. Positive relationships are challenging to build. Whether its parent/child, husband/wife, wife/wife, husband/husband or any other combination. My goal is to increase communication, understanding and knowledge between people in order to create positive and productive growth. We will focus on barriers and obstacles that may be keeping us from living our best lives, and work together on mapping out a plan for success. I have currently added substance abuse and anger management assessments to my practice. As our society becomes more accepting of alternative relationships, the need for added support has increased. I offer that space where individuals can feel comfortable in knowing they are accepted. I am a fully licensed counselor focusing on sexual issues. This ranges from communication to sexual dysfunction and a variety of topics in between. I have recently completed my ASSECT certification and am now a certified sex therapist. Giving a voice to individuals who may be afraid to be heard is empowering and fulfilling. No one should be afraid to be happy and for me, it is my passion to be uplifting to all. My practice is based on the West side of Atlanta, but I have various satellite options around the city.

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. 💛
