As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life.

I graduated from Florida State University with my undergraduate degree in Social Work. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University Mandel School of Applied Social Science. I ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years.

My professional path began in high-pressure corporate environments where performance, long hours, and responsibility were expected. After more than two decades in complex global organizations — earning an MBA from George Washington University and completing postgraduate work at Emory University — I saw firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can destabilize both professional and personal life. For the past decade, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, Drug Court, and private practice settings. A significant portion of my training involved delivering intensive trauma therapy within a court-supervised program, working with individuals experiencing PTSD, substance use disorders, anger issues, and significant life disruption. That environment required structure, mutual accountability, and advanced emotional regulation skills. It also required the disciplined application of evidence-based trauma treatments while maintaining psychological safety in high-intensity situations. I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship strain — particularly when the life they have built no longer feels sustainable or aligned with who they want to become.

We’ll begin with an introductory session where I’ll ask some questions about your goals and expectations. From there, we’ll talk through a tentative treatment plan and discuss specific coping skills, communication tools, patterns of behavior, and action items that will help enhance your quality of life. I am excited to support you in your journey and I look forward to working together!

Welcome! I know how hard it can be to reach out for support. If you're here, I want you to know that you're not alone and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I'm someone who believes in the power of feeling seen, heard, and understood. I believe that therapy should feel like a real conversation where you can breathe, think, and be real, not a clinical checklist. I believe you deserve a space where you don't have to pretend, perform, or be "put together". Therapy with me is about helping you feel safe enough to be your real, unfiltered self. The parts that feel strong and the parts that feel messy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and for over 6 years I've helped adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. A lot of the people that I work with are tired of wearing masks- the "strong one", the "fun one", the "reliable one". Underneath, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or disconnected from who they used to be. I help create a space where you can take those masks off without fear. You don't have to know the right words. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just have to show up as you are. Together, we'll work through what you're carrying and build tools that feel realistic and fit your real life. If you're tired of pretending and ready for a space where you can just be real, I'd love to support you.

I've been blessed to have wonderful professional positions throughout my career (see roderickhaferphd.com). Most recently I was Vice-Chair of the Psychiatry Department at the University of Wisconsin. I enjoy working with all client presentations and believe that the "connection" with those I treat is critical to therapy success. I think a 15 to 30 minute free consultation would be the best approach to determine "our fit" in working together.

Hi, I’m Carmen Bales, LCSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in hospice and medical social work, where I’ve spent years supporting people through grief, life transitions, chronic stress, and uncertainty. In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck—even when they appear “high-functioning” on the outside.

You do not need to be “creative” to work with me. Expressive and reflective tools are used gently and always at your comfort level.

I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life adjustments, school-related stress, self-esteem challenges, and the daily pressures that can feel overwhelming at times. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create lasting change. I also take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what is already within you and helping you reconnect with your inner resilience. My goal with every client is to help you tap into your inner potential, gain clarity and confidence, and take meaningful steps toward becoming the best version of yourself. Together, we will work toward creating measurable progress and a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned.
