“I've been meeting with Carmen since December of 2024, and she's been amazing! I always enjoy our sessions and the warmth and perspective she brings to the topics we discuss. She's very empowering, kind, and truly takes the time to listen and respond in a way that lets me know that she understands me. She's guided me through very challenging times and has always provided an atmosphere that allows me to challenge myself to become my best self. I'd absolutely recommend her! :)”

Getting to know Carmen Porter
Welcome to Kairos Counseling and Consulting LLC. I'm Carmen, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the state of Pennsylvania. I received my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Chatham University. Impacting individuals and families-helping them to experience resilience, growth, and transformation through difficult experiences and life transitions-has continued to be my primary motivation.
My clients are usually self-aware, observant, strong, intelligent, and sensitive; desiring the skills or motivation to move forward. But they may also feel overwhelmed, ashamed, anxious, depressed, self-conscious, and/or defeated. My role in your journey will be to assist you in managing physical, emotional, and experiential symptoms that have kept you stuck, process distressing experiences, and envision a future grounded in hope. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I look forward to supporting you in that journey.

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.
