Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Carmen Alegria, LCSW.

At times, life can feel heavy. You may be navigating the end of a relationship, coping with grief, managing work stress, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood. You may notice yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, struggling with boundaries, or questioning how you got here. If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and begin moving forward with intention.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. I integrate EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support healing at both emotional and practical levels. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be contributing to distress, strengthen your ability to regulate emotions, and develop tools that help you feel more grounded and empowered in daily life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is about getting to know you. This is a space where you can speak openly about what’s been weighing on you, whether that’s anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, grief, or feeling emotionally stuck. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
