Carmen Croucher
If you're struggling with stressors, attempting to heal from past traumas, facing anxiety in certain areas of life, or are feeling down I can help you navigate these difficulties. I specialize in anxiety and trauma as well as female and maternal mental health. I have a very person centered approach; meaning that I try to understand fully what brings you in and where you are coming from. Once we have a solid foundation of understanding I assist in evaluating beliefs and processes that keep people stuck, I provide practical skills for relief, and break down barriers to creating and maintaining new habits. I know it can feel overwhelming as you decide who to trust with these needs, your comfort, safety and needs are my main concern. I'll meet you where you are to build a trusting relationship with you and once that is in place you will have a solid foundation for then trusting the process.

First session
The first session is the chance for me to inquire further into what is going on for you and get some background information that helps me to know where you are coming from. At the end of session we'll collaborate on goals and a game plan for our future sessions which will look much more organic.
Strengths
My strength as a provider is my ability to assist people in digging deeper into their processes so that they fully understand their own experiences and can provide themselves with exactly what they need.
Ideal clients
Individual adults, military/veteran and family members, mothers, individuals with fertility issues
