Carla West
CLINICAL COUNSELLOR
B.A. Studio Art, Ceramics
M.A Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor (USA)
Therapist. Wife. Mom. Daughter. Friend. Art-Maker. Carla has been a Christ follower since 2009, and living cross-culturally since 2011. Carla finished her Masters in Professional Counseling from Liberty University (USA) in 2017.
While there are many approaches to therapy, Carla believes working collaboratively in the session allows her clients to be empowered to move towards healing. She wants her clients to be able to go at their own pace sharing in a judgement free space. Her value of safety and trust are foundational pieces for the journey of moving towards wholeness.
Some of the specialties Carla focuses on trauma, aiding in stress management, self-discovery, improving low-mood, and reducing anxiety. Personal experiences of culture-shock, transition, and trauma have afforded Carla’s work a deeper meaning and sense of purpose for her clients.
