Mrs Carmen Ifrim
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
“Licensed mental health counselor providing empathetic support in a safe space. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. Together, we'll explore and empower for lasting well-being.”
About Me
I offer empathetic support in a truly safe space. For those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, our work together provides clarity. We’ll explore your experiences with care, helping you understand patterns and develop practical ways forward. My aim is to empower you towards lasting well-being, fostering resilience for daily life. Clients find our sessions a grounded place for growth.
Approach
Providing gentle, practical guidance, I focus on clear steps that feel manageable while keeping our work grounded and respectful. Sessions in Kifisia or online, in English, Greek or Romanian, follow a steady, collaborative rhythm—brief check-ins, focused exploration, and practical tasks between meetings. We track patterns, try small experiments, and use psychoeducation and advocacy when needed to support life transitions, grief, relationships, and burnout. People facing change or prolonged overwhelm often find this paced, hands-on approach steadying.
