Hi, I'm Carmella! I have been supporting the inner strength and resiliency of people, since 2012, when I first began my journey as a mental health professional. I believe we are shaped and driven by our stories and the stories others have about us. I am interested in hearing where life has taken you and what you have learned along the way. I work in collaboration with you to understand these stories but I am also curious to find out which path you are hoping to take next. The therapeutic process is client-centred and strength-based.
I am oriented towards social justice and will create a safe place for you. I come from a narrative therapy approach in my work with children, teens, families, and women. I have over a decade of experience in counselling roles for the government, non-profit organizations, and private practice.
I don't think anyone should feel alone in the struggles life can bring. I am on your team when it comes to facing your challenges. I believe you have inner wisdom and lessons you have learned along the way that need to be witnessed. Book a free consultation to find out if this service would be a good match for you.
