Getting to know Carmen Shelbrack

Hi there, I'm Carmen! I am here as a safe and inviting collaborator, let’s work together to address life difficulties nonjudgmentally. My role is to assist you in your process, supporting you in navigating your experiences and empowering you to apply the insights gained in therapy to your life. I am passionate about wellness and plan to join you with genuine curiosity and address any difficulties with mental health symptoms, shame, and guilt, phases of life, relationships, grief, sense of self, disconnection, decision-making, anxiety, depression, and more. My approach My approach to therapy draws from a variety of models, tailored to meet your specific needs - these may include a strength-based, nature-based, DBT, CBT, client-centered approach to provide holistic treatment - with a goal for you to feel genuinely heard, supported, and ideally seen in your areas of difficulties, accomplishments, and progress. My focus I work well with clients who want to grow and are open to being kindly challenged during sessions. I typically reflect back on what I have learned about you, what is important based on your values/beliefs, and discuss goals, then provide clinical suggestions and/or insight on session reflections. My communication style During sessions I am open-minded and direct with my communication, typically highlighting areas that a client has achieved during our sessions while laying out areas of growth and challenging a client in alternative thinking to redirect highlighted patterns that may no longer be working with a client.
