Biography
Carol is certified to provide treatment for Problem Gambling (CGAC-II) and treatment for Alcohol and Drug Dependency (CADC-I). Her experience includes work with those experiencing mental, emotional and behavioral problems with adolescents, with families experiencing domestic violence, individuals with compulsive disorders, depression, and/or anxiety. She has worked with many cultural groups to support services that support their cultural diversity in the fields of mental health, physical health, education and the arts. Carol's philosophy of healing: She embraces the concept of "Wellness" through motivational interviewing, cognitive therapies and social skills building as needed during the therapeutic process. Her philosophy is that one becomes more secure through an awareness and acceptance of our feelings and behavior, developing a positive attitude about oneself, a realistic assessment of one's limitations, effective stress management, the pursuit of satisfying relationships, and the development of autonomy.
