C. J. (Carla Jean) Hartshorn, LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals who are challenged by life stressors, transitions, events or relationships, and are having a difficult time coping. My areas of focus are anxiety, coping skills, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, co-dependency, grief and loss, spirituality, and parenting skills. I have 15+ years of experience working in the mental health field, working in various settings such as homes, schools, community centers and a hospital, in which I worked with various individuals and their families to assist them in meeting their mental health goals. I offer empathetic listening and compassion in a safe non-judgmental environment in efforts to help clients identify and achieve their desired goals. I focus on a collaborative approach as well as at times directive, so that together we can uncover negative behaviors, patterns or roadblocks and work towards replacing these with healthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors for symptom relief, growth, and ultimately generalize to lasting change.
