Free 20 minute Consultation

Balance • Calm • Stability

Do many of the following resonate with you?

  • Overwhelmed by emotions, thoughts, sensations, or memories
  • On the outside you have it all together, but on the inside you feel lost and confused
  • Insightful, intuitive and aware, but stuck
  • Feeling broken or damaged
  • Often feeling unsafe or in a state of fear
  • Have difficulty concentrating and making decisions
  • Cannot seem to let go or move on from past experiences
  • Disconnected from yourself or others
  • Been told you are "too sensitive"
  • Super observant of your surroundings and easily startled

If so, therapy can help

If you have suffered from distressing experiences, ongoing trauma or traumatic events, working together could help you with managing the overwhelming feelings, thoughts and memories associated with these experiences, reduce anxiety, increase your sense of control and find more balance in your life. I work with individual adults who have gone through stressful or traumatic experiences. I provide psychotherapy services, including EMDR, here in Santa Rosa, California. I also often work with Highly Sensitive Persons, both with and without trauma, to support you in better understanding your unique traits, strengths and ways of dealing with challenges.

About Carmen Schmidt Benedetti

 LMFT, EMDR Approved Consultant (she/her)

I am a psychotherapist for emotionally perceptive, intuitive folks in Sonoma County, California. I help clients heal layers of trauma to feel more centered and grounded in their lives.

As an EMDR Certified therapist and Approved Consultant, I guide adults in reframing their past from an empowered perspective, coming to believe they are 'good enough' and their needs and feelings matter.

When not in the office, you will find me in the kitchen baking cookies, on my yoga mat doing a vinyasa flow, or enjoying sunshine with close friends over tea.

EMDR Consultation for Therapists Specializing in Trauma & Dissociation

Through consultation, therapists will learn how to integrate EMDR with additional treatment modalities to provide well-rounded, comprehensive treatment for their complex trauma & dissociative clients. They'll know which interventions to use and the exact next steps to feel clear in their course of treatment.
