Getting to know Carmen Bales

Hi, I'm Carmen Bales, LCSW. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a background in hospice and medical social work, where I've spent years supporting people through grief, life transitions, chronic stress, and uncertainty. In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck-even when they appear “high-functioning” on the outside. My approach is integrative and person-centered, drawing from talk therapy, expressive arts, and body-based (somatic) awareness to help clients reconnect with themselves and make sense of what they are carrying. You do not need to be “creative” to work with me. Expressive and reflective tools are used gently and always at your comfort level. I believe healing begins with being seen, understood, and supported-rather than being rushed to fix or change yourself. If you choose to have sessions with me, you will be truly seen.
