About Me

Hi, I’m Carmen Spears and a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) located in Montgomery County, Maryland.  I am also a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Los Angeles County, CA.  My therapy specialties include Grief and Loss, Anger Management, and Trauma.  I specialize in treating adults and elders dealing with anger management, bereavement and PTSD.  I also work with clients whom have experienced a traumatic event(s).  The treatment modalities that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Forward Facing Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Guided Therapeutic Imagery.  I pride my myself on developing an individualized treatment plan for each of my clients.  I have been practicing therapy for over 10 years.  After working for various counseling agencies and companies, I decided to go into private practice to better meet the needs of my clients.  I received my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.  During my graduate program, I received membership into the Pi Chapter of Chi Sigma Iota which is the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International for counselors.  In addition, I am a member of the National Anger Management Association (NAMA) and the Maryland Counseling Association (MCA).  I am a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), Certified Anger Management Specialist II, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) too.
