"Beyond the Grind: Rest, Values, and Thriving in Entrepreneurship"
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Dr. Carmen is a clinical psychologist specializing in clinical intervention, trauma-informed care, healing, and improving pathways to opportunities like work and school for youth, transition age youth, and adults in the Metro-Detroit area. I met her when we both worked at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where she was essentially the assistant director of mental health and accessibility services.
She has worked with me in several arenas over the years and is consistently someone I look to in the community as a role model for how this work is done well.
I know she can speak more to her experience, but I've known her to work across a broad range of trauma-impacted populations, from youth in recovery seeking career opportunities to working with emergency response personnel like police officers and firefighters to improve their readiness to respond to trauma and crisis on the job."
