Carlos Velazquez, MS

Hi, I'm Carlos. I appreciate the seriousness of this step you are taking in finding help and meaning. Opening up to share your vulnerabilities and hopes should not be taken lightly. I'm a firm believer of the individual’s ability for change. Furthermore, I believe that a strong professional relationship between the client and counselor is key to therapeutic success, and that this relationship is best fostered through an atmosphere of professionalism, trust, collaboration, and respect. Let me share with you some of my background. I have been with my wife for 27 interesting years and we are going strong. We have two children that we enjoy. The military has been a way of life for us. My professional therapeutic experience has centered on working with traumatized individuals of all ages and their families. Primarily within judicial and community organizations, I have worked with clients living with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, domestic violence, familial conflict, childhood behavioral challenges, and environmental hardships.

And I utilize my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training to help individuals process trauma and associated symptoms toward more resilient living.
