More about Carmella
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I will be present and let you know that I hear you. I try to use a lot of active listening tools so you'll know that I'm there for you. I'll tell you about myself when it's relevant. But mostly, I let people know: This is a safe place for you. You can talk about what you need to talk about. There's no judgment. I'll be compassionate and understanding.
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
My mother was a counselor. She was a gerontologist, so she worked with older patients, which inspired me to be a counselor. I thought I'd give that a try, and it stuck. Now, I've been in this field for 25 years. It's worth it when someone gets better. It's something that I enjoy doing. You know, it is never a dull moment. There's always something new to learn, and that's worth it.
What I want to help you see in yourself
I want you to have hope and resilience. OCD makes people feel like they'll never get better. I definitely want people, if they meet with me, to know they can get better. I want them to think: Maybe this will work.
