Mr Carlos's recommended reading list
Are you feeling
stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your
partner, or family members? These are common experiences for many
people. Sometimes people "act out", fall
into addictions, shut down, or just make bad decisions. They want
change but are not sure how. That's when counseling can really
help.
Clients find me caring, nonjudgmental and very easy to talk
to. My style is casual and direct. I am a good listener and
communicate in ways that my clients understand and feel supported. I strive to be
encouraging and empowering to my
clients and help them find more healthy and productive ways to meet
their needs
and reach their potentials.
I have over 20 years counseling experience working with children, teens
and adults
in private practice, hospitals, and schools. My practice covers
clients from almost all ages (8+years to elderly). About half of my
practice is dedicated to individual and family work
with
teens and children. The other half is with adults and
couples of all ages.
I offer stress and anger management
for all age groups. This can be related to work, school, and
relationship issues. Clients sometimes ask me to consult with their places of employment, courts and
schools or other professionals. I work extensively with people who have anxiety, are depressed, and show symptoms of ADD and ADHD.
I do not employ a strict medical model to working with these issues,
and cannot prescribe medication, but I often work with doctors and other
professionals that do. I do work with people who have dual diagnoses and addictive disorders. My graduate education
included multi-cultural, ethnic and gender specific psychology's. I am trained in Jungian, Existential,
and Philosophically oriented psychology's and often use them for issues relating to: life meaning, self-motivation, burn-out, career change, mid-life reassessment, retirement, care of one's aging relatives, and mortality.
Numerous therapeutic techniques and counseling approaches are used in my practice. What and when a method is used depends
upon the client(s) and circumstances. I try to keep things relaxed
while productive regardless of the issue or topic. More advanced
techniques are available when needed or for clients with previous
counseling experience. I offer a wide range of approaches to couples, groups, and families. My hours are generally 10A-7:30P Tues.- Fri. and Saturday's 10A-4P. Limited phone and email consultation is also available.
I consult frequently with the other experienced professionals of our group and in the community and have them as a
resource if other services or referral is needed.
