For a long time I have desired to bring wellness to our people with simple access. As the concept of mental health is finally gaining the audience it deserves I realize there is a missing piece. You don't have to be "not well" or "not functioning" to have a therapist or coach to help you through challenging times or humps. My goal is always to support you in reaching your own optimal functioning. What is to be acknowledged is that this means something different for each of us individually. Let's not be compared to the masses yet rather to our own self. I strive to create an environment where you can BE...WELL...STRONG...LOVED...YOU!

Mental health often dictates a person’s overall well-being. Our perception of ourselves, our families, community and world allow us to experience the gift of life in its entirety or we can find ourselves struggling and limiting what life has to offer. Being a psychologist allows me to help people understand themselves and to create the best version of themselves; which often leads to good experiences and a fulfilling lifestyle. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with people and explore who they are and what they want out of life.

Hi, my name is Carla, I am a woman of color who specializes in Perinatal and Postpartum depression and anxiety, intimate partner violence, and substance use disorders, and grief with a specific focus in the BIPOC community. As a mother of four adult children I understand the impact and difficulties of adjusting to life’s unexpected transitions. Most would say pregnancy is a time for new life and joys, however this may not be the experience for some Mothers, in fact 10-15% of pregnant women suffer from Postpartum depression, and numbers are higher for women of color.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
