About The Counseling Cove
The Counseling Cove was created to serve as a welcoming hub for learning, support, and connection within the mental health community.

Rooted in the belief that mental health work is an ever-evolving process, The Counseling Cove is dedicated to providing accessible knowledge, reflective insights, and supportive services. Whether you're exploring therapy, preparing for a career in counseling, or seeking resources to deepen your growth, this space offers a thoughtful environment where learning and connection can thrive.
Here, growth is ongoing, community is valued, and every visitor is invited to explore, discover, and feel supported along the way.

Founder & Curator, The Counseling Cove
Camille is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Palo Alto University. Before entering the counseling field, she built a strong foundation in business development and consulting—experience that now informs her ability to support emerging clinicians, guide students, and thoughtfully build community-focused projects.
Throughout her graduate training, Camille experienced firsthand the power of connection and support within a virtual cohort. Inspired by this sense of community, she founded The Counseling Cove as a space where counseling professionals, students, and individuals seeking mental health guidance could access resources, education, and opportunities for meaningful connection.
Clinically, Camille has a background in trauma-informed care and experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan. Her therapeutic approach is humanistic, relational, and integrative—rooted in the belief that people are more than their symptoms and healing grows from genuine, collaborative relationships. She strives to create spaces that feel safe, respectful, and grounded, where clients can move at their own pace toward clarity, stability, and self-understanding.
Through The Counseling Cove, Camille continues her commitment to accessible learning, inclusive community-building, and supporting the next generation of mental health professionals.
