About Carlithea
I am a personable, dedicated, and genuine Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 combined years of experience as a social worker. My belief is that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. In every work environment that I have worked from schools, to governmental agencies, to psychiatric hospital settings, to private practice, I make a conscience effort to show not only compassion and warmth, but also a respect and genuine rapport with my clientele. Throughout the years, I have learned that it is not enough to simply treat people the way that you would want to be treated, but to treat them the way that they want to be treated as well.

About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I feel like my therapeutic skills developed when I was a child as I dealt with and encouraged various people with mental health issues. I believe it's an innate gift that I was given. I believe that I'm purposed to help those who are at their most vulnerable state to become more stabilized and feel like they are back on solid ground.
About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Therapy is a partnership with a trusted person to help you navigate when you don't see or have all of the answers solo. There is nothing wrong with reaching out for help when we are having difficulty helping ourselves. Why go at life alone when you don't have to do so?
About Me
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I'm easy to talk to without judgments. I genuinely care about your best interest and make my best effort to meet you where you are. In doing so, I provide interactive feedback and offer helpful suggestions and strategies that are pertinent to your situation. I don't have a script, I simply hear you out and collaborate with you to make a plan for your life that is suitable to you.
About Me
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
A getting to know you session where it's not intense or intimidating, but rather warm and welcoming. We are simply having a talk about your greatest concerns, I listen and ask pertinent questions that helps us to formulate a plan.
About Me
How can you provide care remotely?
I utilize a Hipaa compliant EHR system for record keeping and telehealth sessions. I conduct sessions via video and telephone. I also bill through Alma and Headway to make billing with the major insurance companies easy.
