It’s time to be true to yourself.
Soul-tending
Therapy
for therapists
in Glendora and online therapy across CA
You've been carrying this for a long time. Despite having grit and being insightful about what your triggers are, there are times when flashbacks occur, and it's as if you're back in the past when bad things happened to you.
Sometimes you feel really down on yourself and have thoughts that you aren't good enough, important enough, or that you are too broken. You've lived with anxiety and depression most of your life, but lately, the stress and overwhelm feel unbearable.
01.
"We repeat what we don't repair."
02.
You've been in therapy on and off through adulthood, but the work has only taken you so far.
If we're being honest, when you consider going that deep with someone, let alone another therapist, it makes you feel…
*cue avoidance and doomscrolling*
At times, you convince yourself you don't "need" therapy.
Why should you take up space when so many others are struggling?
You tell yourself that what you really need is to focus more on your family and children, or you end up consumed by other things you deem more important.
You will need to fill your cup.
You will want something just for you.
To do this, you need a seasoned therapist with whom you could take your professional hat off, set your guards down (at your own pace) to bare your soul with.
Most importantly, you need a therapist who will go to the dark, hard places with you so that you can find yourself and flourish.
I'm ready to go deep. Are you?

One thing's for sure: eventually, you will need care.

Hey there, compassionate one!
I'm Carmen, and I see through the heart of things, so let's cut to the chase: I’m a healer for the soul.
I help therapists and helping professionals move from feeling unworthy and stuck in childhood trauma to cherishing who they've always been.
If you're over-prioritizing others at your own expense and ready to nourish yourself, I'm your person.
Kind notes from colleagues
“Carmen is truly a *therapist for therapists* and really walks the talk when it comes to doing inner work. As her longtime colleague, I walk away from our in-depth conversations feeling understood and uplifted, and am continually inspired by her motivation and commitment to her craft. If you’re considering therapy for yourself, give her a call.”
— Elisa Martinez, LMFT
“Carmen is an excellent therapist! She has a warm personality and is genuine, open, confident, and highly motivated to help her clients. Carmen is trustworthy, and I have referred clients to her because I trust she will do her best to help them heal from trauma.”
— Guadalupe A. Cesar Nunez , LMFT
“Carmen is a natural empath and wonderful clinician! She’s insightful, deeply caring, and provides a unique combination of heartfelt support and gentle challenge in her work with clients. Whenever I need a referral for empaths struggling with overwork and a strong inner critic, I am confident sending clients to Carmen knowing that they will be in excellent hands. She’s the real deal! I highly recommend.”
— Joanna Lay, LMFT
My Offerings
-
Are you struggling to balance motherhood, marriage, and private practice? I get it because the struggle is real. You hold space for everyone, but who is holding space for you? Practice what you preach and be tended to.
-
Do you want to work through a traumatic event or a negative belief that keeps coming up for you? EMDR can help you reprocess those experiences so that you no longer have unpleasant emotions or cognitions attached and can move on with your life.
-
Your analyzer part has worked hard to help you process the hard stuff, but you can't rationalize your way to healing. You need something that goes deeper. In session, we will slow down and tend to the areas that need care and attention, allowing stuck energy to move through your body and enabling you to experience greater health.
-
Are you seeking a therapist who understands the importance of having a close relationship with God? You may be in a dry season where you can't sense Him, which evokes different emotions. We can invite him into our work together so that you can strengthen your walk with the Lord.
