Carmen was born in Chile. She has more than 20 years experience as Nuclear Medicine Technologist, and as researcher in Brain Imaging. She earned a M.A. in Clinical Psychology, a MFT and a PsyD. Carmen has been working with Victims of Crime, as well as children and families with depression, trauma, ADD, mood disorders and anxiety for several years. Each day we face new challenges. Most of us strive to achieve physical or spiritual wellness. In this journey, it is important to keep our achievements short term, one day at the time, to reach our long term goals.
Wellness is a process, a lifelong process. Learning to manage every day challenges will take us one step closer to achieve our goal. When we think about wellness, we might refer to the connection between mind, body and spirit. We want to achieve a balance between them, the simple state of overall well-being.
This well-being can be associated with personal responsibility. Individuals have the responsibility to make their own choices in order to reach this state of well-being. "Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them." Paramahansa Yogananda
