My name is Sara Carmona. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Heath Therapist (PMH-C), practicing professional social work in Portland, OR since 2011. My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and relational. I create a safe and nurturing environment so you can explore difficult issues, strengthen your inner resources and learn new skills to use moving forward. We will use solution-focused, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help you understand your emotions, make decisions that fit your values and live a more satisfying life. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider, I support people along the reproductive health continuum. "Perinatal Mental Health" is a term for mental health concerns related to reproduction and pregnancy. Topics may include pregnancy and birth concerns, prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, conception/infertility/ARM, abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss, and processing your birth experience. I am happy to coordinate care with your team of providers, family, or other individuals you would like to include in your counseling services. I honor and respect the diversity of people in my practice. All cultures, races, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities are welcome at River City Counseling LLC.
