I have learned through personal life experiences that finding the right counselor is crucial to the healing process. I provide individual and family counseling to adults, adolescents, and children.
I graduated in 2010 with a Masters of Science in Counseling and am currently dual licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in the state of Florida.
I specialize in working with couples that want a stronger relationship, kids hurting from divorce, angry teens, frustrated parents and individuals looking to find purpose in life. Also, for those whose work schedules may interfere with their availability, I do offer evenings and weekend sessions.
I believe we were made for wholeness, connection, and purpose but live in a world in which we often experience fragmentation, isolation, and futility.
I am passionate about taking this journey with you through those experiences towards a life of freedom and courage. After 12 years of working in a variety of cross-cultural settings with people of different ages and backgrounds, I integrates my experiences with my counseling training to walk with teens, adults, and couples in this process.
Note: I do not currently accept EAP benefits.
I provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults. I specialize in caring for college students, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone seeking healing from difficult religious experiences. I seek to help my clients sort through past hurts, confront present challenges, and develop a greater sense of hope for the future.
I have been serving Orlando and surrounding areas in private practice for over 5 years after first gaining experience in residential crisis and substance abuse. I received my BS in psychology from UCF and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University in Deland!
I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2016. I am a Florida licensed psychotherapist and have maintained a private practice for 17 years in Orlando and Winter Park. I have specialized training in the following: Clinical Trauma Professional and Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Qualified Clinical Supervisor. I am also a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist through Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and MAPS.

Carmen Arrufat Ives is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who brings both heart and expertise to her work.

My background in both education and counseling allows me to support clients with a blend of clinical insight, trauma‐informed care, and practical skill‐building. I currently serve as a facilitator with the Peace and Justice Institute and work as a contract therapist with Families First of Florida.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lake Mary
Searching for therapists in Lake Mary starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match what you want to work on. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with specific concerns can help you decide whether a therapist may be a strong fit.
Lake Mary is a smaller market, so your nearby in-person options may be more limited than they would be in a larger city. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your schedule. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can also show how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Lake Mary can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists, compare availability, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
