Carmelita Samuel
I am the Clinical Social Worker and founder of Mental Balance & Wellness Practice, providing empowered care through connection, healing, and purpose. I offer psychotherapy for adults seeking support with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care with holistic practices including yin yoga, guided meditation, and mindfulness. Through these yoga-informed services, I help clients restore balance, cultivate vitality, and reconnect with their bodies in ways that enhance emotional and physical well-being. This mind-body model supports nervous system regulation, builds resilience, reduces stress, and promotes lasting emotional balance. My goal is to create a safe, grounded space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
Areas of Expertise
Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, dignity, and whole-person healing. My work in a county jail shaped my deep belief in nonjudgment and the power of seeing each person’s full humanity. As a social worker, I view struggles through a systemic lens, recognizing the impact of family patterns, culture, and intergenerational trauma. I integrate EMDR, yoga-informed therapy, and mindfulness to help clients process trauma, regulate their nervous system, and build emotional balance. I also support adults with ADHD through screening, referrals, and practical coaching strategies. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can heal and grow at their own pace.
