About

Carlos Camarena began his helping-career in 1980 when he worked as a Case Manager supporting people with severe physical disabilities, starting that role soon after finishing his undergraduate studies. His decision to enter the helping professions was influenced by his mother, who worked as a social worker providing community services in the small town where he was raised, and he carried that commitment forward into his own career.

He earned a Master of Social Work in 1991 and then joined a county mental health program that provided services to people with severe mental health issues who had become homeless. That work offered direct treatment experience for a range of conditions, including depression, PTSD, anxiety, and thought disorders, and helped him develop into a generalist with broad knowledge of mental health treatment approaches.

With 30 years of professional experience, Carlos practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas. Throughout his career he has prioritized treating people with respect and dignity, listening carefully to what they need, and responding in ways that help them cope and reduce the negative impact of mental health challenges. He continues to apply that mindset, working to find practical solutions and to provide tailored support and clear answers for each person he helps.
