Getting to know Carmen Croucher

Hi there, I'm Carmen! I'm Carmen Croucher, LPCC 8286, based out of Southern California. People who come to see me are often looking for ways to reduce anxiety and/or heal from trauma. I also work with high-achieving and high-intellect individuals to access a deeper understanding of self that improves many different areas of their life. My approach My approach to therapy is very client-centered. I focus on deep understanding, teach skills, and emphasize self-compassion practices. I am certified in trauma treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral/Cognitive Processing Therapy and have training in Written Exposure Therapy and narrative therapy. These are not the only modalities I utilize; our approach together will depend on you and what you’re here to see me for. My focus I work with adult individuals 18 and older. Individuals experiencing burnout, life transition stress, relationship stress, trauma disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders do much better after our time together. My communication style My communication style is gentle at first. Our first session will be structured and professional; however, as I get to know you, we will become more relaxed with each other, and the environment can become more casual. My journey to mental healthcare My initial draw to the mental health field was seeing my fellow military members getting discharged due to mental health conditions rather than receiving the help they needed. Because some of these conditions were developed in service or exacerbated by service, my sense of injustice led me to want to be part of the mental health community after I got out of the Navy. I have several years of experience working with service members and first responders. Education I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego. My goals for you My clients tell me what they want to accomplish, and I use my expertise to assist them in meeting those goals.
