Carlos Morales, I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples with a wide range of mental health-related issues. I have been through life experiences myself that I feel help me relate well to my clients' needs. I understand it can be difficult to seek help initially but I also know how rewarding and beneficial it can be once the process begins and you see the changes in your life taking place I am here and ready to help you take that step forward.
My approach
My therapeutic style is collaborative and I tailor treatment to your specific needs. I have specialty training in Gestalt therapy which emphasizes your unique experience, a focus on the present, the environment, and our therapeutic relationship. I also use multiple disciplines in my work, including utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy.
My focus
understand that people oftentimes just need someone who is dedicated to walking alongside them in their pain. We all need to know that we are not alone and that there is hope. My strength is helping you to recognize YOUR strength.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress
My first session with you
The first session is a "get to know you" session, as I listen to your story, what brings you to counseling, and learn about your goals for change. We will see if we are a good fit for this process. My goal for this session is to really listen and understand what brings you to therapy and how I can be of help to you during this time.
