Meet Carmen Buis

Hi, I'm Carmen, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have an MSW from the University of Missouri and have been a therapist since 2014. I counsel teenagers (13-19) and adults with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in EMDR therapy and practice DBT through The Current.

Therapy can be a big step in your mental health journey, so it's important that you feel safe when you take it.

I personally know the long-term, disruptive effects of trauma and the peace that therapy can help achieve. Because of this, I'm committed to facilitating your growth and helping you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can help by creating a space where you can be yourself and share your stories without fear of judgment. I will listen to you intently, and together, we will find the approach best suited for you. This will help you heal in your own way, at your own pace.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR helps you cope with adverse life experiences by addressing the root of the problem. The root can be a traumatic event from childhood or even more recent years. EMDR uses eye movements to process one event at a time. My role is to facilitate that by helping you stay focused, reminding you that you are in a safe place, and helping you navigate your thoughts and emotions.
