Jelisa Carma

My name is Jelisa Carma; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Good Carma Counseling & Consulting Services.

Please note that my practice on Headway is exclusively dedicated to completing comprehensive diagnostic assessments, initial clinical intakes, and second-opinion evaluations. I do not provide ongoing psychotherapy or long-term weekly counseling on this platform.

I offer a highly specialized, secure, and supportive space for teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, and major life transitions. While our work together is bounded, my goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can safely process your history while we uncover answers. I focus on delivering exact diagnostic clarity and a structured roadmap of clinical recommendations to empower your next steps in healing—guided by my philosophy: Good Carma, Great Outcomes.

My diagnostic approach is deeply compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. During our assessment, I integrate clinical insights from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to get a highly accurate, multidimensional picture of your experiences. As a specialist in Trauma-informed care, I meet you exactly where you are, ensuring our assessment session is a safe, secure space to discuss your history. Instead of long-term therapy, my role is to use these powerful therapeutic frameworks to pinpoint your exact needs, highlight your strengths, and hand you the precise diagnostic roadmap required to build lasting balance, resilience, and emotional peace.

In our diagnostic session, we will take time to connect and focus on understanding your story, your current symptoms, and what brought you to seek clinical answers. Because discussing your history requires trust, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and judgment-free space from the moment we begin. As we walk through your structured assessment, I will help you feel at ease while we look at your experiences through a comprehensive clinical lens. Rather than starting ongoing therapy, this session is focused on gathering the critical insights needed to outline an official diagnosis and hand you a personalized, actionable clinical plan tailored to your exact needs.
