Hey there and welcome!
I’m Carmen Jimenez-Pride, LCSW and therapy is my lifeline.
I’m not just your typical therapist. My skill-set extends from clinical outpatient services to coaching, with many other products & services in-between.
Making your mental health a priority is a big step and I acknowledge that. I fully believe that your mental health journey is more than a service; it’s an experience. A transformative experience where we connect and grow together.
If you’re wondering if I’m qualified, the real question is how qualified am I? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and North Carolina, Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice in South Carolina, Registered Play Therapist, and Substance Abuse Professional. I have provided clinical outpatient therapy as well as intensive in-home services. In 2011, I opened Outspoken Counseling and Consulting to provide therapy, life coaching and business consulting. In 2020, I created Diversity in Play Therapy, with the mission to effect change within the practice of Play Therapy by increasing cultural awareness and cultural competence for healers working with diverse populations. I am also the host of the Diversity in Play Therapy Summit.
Over the years, I have definitely embodied and lived the motto: “I Grow, You Grow, Together We Will Grow”.
I GROW
This journey for me is all about continued learning. I am constantly refining my knowledge on therapy services and looking at data to delve into what’s working best for my clients. I also continually add to my therapeutic practice business knowledge. This gives me the resources to support, coach, and consult other professionals.
YOU GROW
There is always a positive transformation with my clients. I credit that to my services being more than just a service. When clients work with me they reclaim who they really are in their career and business so they have the courage, confidence, and clarity to be unapologetic and authentic in every asset of their life. They come to me with the desire for more and the desire to grow.
TOGETHER WE WILL GROW
Seeing and experiencing the growth of my clients, helps me grow too. Their growth allows me to see my mark on the world. So many of my clients have started a business, become published authors, left feelings of overwhelm for feelings of empowered and unapologetic. Our time together is truly transformative, not just for me and my clients, but for the world beyond.
