Getting to know Alena Carnes

Hi there, I'm Alena! My primary specialty is working with young adults and adults navigating life transitions that can lead to stress, depression, and anxiety. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College. My approach I utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Person-Centered therapy to support you through difficult times. With over 20 years in the field, I offer expertise to help you navigate these transitions. My focus I help clients experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and stress management difficulties. I also work with individuals with chronic mental health diagnoses such as Major Depression, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. My communication style I am known for being easy to talk to, open, open-minded, and using humor when appropriate. I am a good listener and believe communication and rapport are the cornerstones of therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I had a rocky upbringing and knew by age 12 that I wanted to help people. I started working in mental health in 1996, gaining valuable experience as a school-based counselor, outpatient therapist, inpatient therapist, and insurance case manager. Helping people gain tools to feel better and live better fills my cup. I enjoy seeing people improve and feel better. My goals for you I rely on clients to identify their goals in therapy and provide the roadmap to achieve them. My first session with you I offer a judgment-free, safe space focused on your needs. I treat clients with respect, dignity, warmth, and attention and will be with you through the whole process.
