About

Carla Noto-Vencill has been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 25 years. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Sacramento Sate University and her Master’s Degree from the American Academy of Family Studies/JFK. Carla is licensed in both California and Texas and is passionate about working with people hoping to understand themselves and others in a deeper way. Carla is a person-centered therapist encouraging clients to be the expert in their own lives. She believes that true change comes when someone is able to clarify what it is they want to be different, and then, with help, develop strength-based interventions and strategies for achieving those goals. She can help walk you through that process by treating you with respect, providing honest and open feedback, compassion and unconditional positive regard. Carla has extensive experience working with people in need of mental health and addiction counseling, depression, anxiety and trauma related issues as well as years of relationship counseling (couples, families, work relationships, etc.). She is described by clients as warm, available and extremely engaged.
