My name is Carmen French, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC-8626, Idaho). I offer effective individualized, therapeutic care in the comfort of your own home or office through telehealth counseling sessions. My professional experience is trauma-focused, in addition to grief and loss, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns.
As a cancer thriver and a parent of a child survivor/thriver I have gained valuable understanding of, and empathy for, the emotional and physical challenges health issues bring with them. I strive to provide an accepting space in which individuals, families, and couples can explore and heal without judgment and with the support needed to make changes and heal. Your story matters. Your experiences matter.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University quite a while ago. Between that and receiving my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Idaho State University in 2018 my husband and I raised our family of seven children. These humans are my most valued accomplishment in my life. We have lived, worked, and grown in Idaho since 1997 and love all the Gem State has to offer. I prioritize self-care by gardening, walking on the beach (which requires a little travel from here!), being in nature, and enjoying time with my family, including the grandloves who have joined us.
You may be wondering if I am the right counselor for you or your concerns. That is an important question to explore. Not every counselor is the best fit for every client. I hope that my compassion, genuine interest in you, and my direct approach are traits you will notice and appreciate if we get to work together. I look forward to connecting with you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation for you to ask me questions and explore the possibility of working together on your therapeutic goals.
