Getting to know Carmen Woods

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with a supervisor designation. I have more than 12 years of experience in clinical practice. My approach I enjoy working with people and assisting them in navigating their way to wellness. I am sensitive to the needs of others, and I am eager to assist with their needs. My focus I have experience in working with a variety of individuals and families and specialize in treating those with a history of traumatic experiences, relationship issues, loss and grief, prenatal and postnatal, alcohol and substance abuse issues. I use a collaborative approach, as you are the expert in your life. I use evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy to assist and guide you to achieve your goals. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening while holding space. You can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare I began my career as a social worker with the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. Seeing. My clients' maturity, gaining confidence, and finding peace and overall wellness make my work rewarding. My goals for you I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. My first session with you Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment, and It's okay to ask questions.
