Hello all, my name is Carmen Tolla. Being compassionate has always been a strong characteristic trait of mine, especially within being in the field of mental health. When it comes to mental health people not only want, but need to feel heard. Sometimes when there isn’t anyone in our innermost circle to vent to, we seek help from a professional. My goal is to prioritize a therapeutic relationship for clients, so they can establish & learn the coping skills of managing mental health symptoms when symptoms arise. I am bilingual in Aramaic (Chaldean). I will provide a safe-space for our sessions so that potential clients feel secured, heard, & comfortable. I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master's Degrees of Social Work from Oakland University (BSW) & Madonna University (MSW). I am looking forward onto this journey of providing my clients with the best therapeutic care in healing their internal wounds.

I enjoy working with an array of clients ranging anywhere from adolescents to adults. My other treatment modalities include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Crisis-Intervention and Grief Counseling.
