Carlos Velazquez

Carlos Velazquez is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Army veteran whose professional therapeutic experience centers on working with traumatized adults and children of all ages and their families. Primarily within judicial and community organizations, he has worked with clients living with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, domestic violence, familial conflict, childhood behavioral challenges, and environmental hardships. Carlos’ therapeutic approach is centered on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with supporting tenants from other evidenced-based therapies that may benefit the particular needs of a client. CBT helps individuals better understand how thought and emotion interact and impact behaviors, relationships, and life’s conditions. Carlos is a firm believer of the individual’s ability for change. Furthermore, he believes that a strong professional relationship between the client and counselor is key to therapeutic success, and that this relationship is best fostered through an atmosphere of trust, collaboration, and respect.
