LCSW, 3 years of experience
Hi, I'm Karmen a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I operate Peace and Trust Behavioral Health, PLLC. A purpose in my life is to help people struggling with life's challenges especially with the challenges that result in anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I invite you to use our safe space to express your real-life issues and to be willing to learn and develop the coping skills that will become your strengths - sustainable skills that you will be able to apply over and over again in your life. I am a graduate of Cabrini and Temple Universities in Pennsylvania with over 20 years of experience serving individuals who are coping with the trauma of homelessness, serious mental illness, and medical health conditions.
In our first session we will introduce ourselves, discuss why you are interested in therapy, and devise a plan to address your needs. We will update the plan as your needs change and as you progress.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I listen for the heart of the issue. I ensure that my clients feel heard. I offer a safe space with no judgement nor embarrassment, and I am passionate about empowering my clients to address their challenges successfully.
I want to work with adults who realize that their feelings of sadness, anger, worry, loneliness, fear, or worthlessness have lingered too long and want to think and feel better.
I use CBT to educate individuals about their thought processes and to support them in applying coping techniques and behavior change that promote a higher quality of life.
To those interested, I educate and support individuals to apply basic Christian principles for living that promote healing and peace of mind.
I incorporate Supportive Therapy in all sessions to validate, encourage, and inspire individuals by actively listening and providing emotional support.

Karmen exudes confidence and genuineness as she encouraged me. She helped me to step into the other person’s shoes while showing me the need for forgiveness. It was something that I truly needed to hear!

Her experience and spirituality grabbed my attention and I’m glad I chose her because she is amazing at what she does. She listens and gives evidence based solutions. I am grateful to have her on my team.

I read her reviews and she's better than what was written. It's always scary at the initial session, but it just flowed like we've already known each other. She's a great therapist and also acts like a Life Coach. Love her!
