Getting to know Carmel Philistin
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and therapist who provides individual therapy for adults in a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. I work with men and women struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, burnout, life transitions, low self-worth, and patterns of overthinking or feeling “stuck.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while internally carrying significant emotional pressure, unresolved pain, or difficulty finding balance and peace within themselves.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, insight-oriented, and deeply person-centered. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where clients can be honest, emotionally supported, challenged in healthy ways, and equipped with tools that create meaningful change in everyday life. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and emotional regulation techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I also value treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. I recognize that spirituality, faith, personal values, and a sense of purpose can play a meaningful role in healing and emotional wellness for many individuals. I welcome conversations surrounding spirituality when important to the client and strive to create an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered in all aspects of their personal growth journey.
My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, improve emotional regulation, build healthier relationships and boundaries, develop confidence and resilience, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and emotionally fulfilling.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
