Therapist in Yonkers, New York Carmen Cuevas-Troche, Therapist

Carmen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with a wide range of adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse, trauma, terminal illness and grief. Although very often, it is moments of crisis that lead to treatment, Carmen has always held the belief that a person does not have to be in distress in order to embark on a journey of self discovery or seek the quality of life everyone deserves. Whether it be issues pertaining to career, relationships, losses or life transitions, Carmen has been able to appreciate the value of working with one’s inner life in order achieve some sense of acceptance and satisfaction here and now. The co-created space between therapist and patient should be safe and non- judgmental in order to allow for the curiosity and exploration necessary to reach this. Carmen obtained her Master’s Degree in Social Work at New York University and holds a certificate in psychoanalysis obtained at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies in NYC. In her training, Carmen has gained knowledge in a variety of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic modalities and understands that healing is a joint venture with a companion at one’s side. In addition to psychodynamic approaches, Carmen has utilized additional modalities such as CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed Care, Mindfulness and Psychoeducation. She has worked with a large variety of cultural and socioeconomic communities in New York City and Westchester, NY and is able to appreciate the differences each community brings as well as find the common human factor in all of us.
