Carolina Baldner
I am a licensed mental health counselor with several years of experience in private practice. I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples and families, accompanying my clients in their processes toward achieving higher levels of wellbeing and overall health. I am a mother of two grown women, I have a rescue dog and a cat, and I practice self care by walking outdoors everyday as I listen to music and enjoy nature. I am working on a couple of writing projects that hopefully I’ll share with you in the near future.
I have helped people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, acculturation issues, grief, academic performance, self-image, relational issues, and LGTBQ advocacy.
I specialize in CBT, solution focus, talk therapy, and I apply skills of psycho-drama and play therapy with my youngest clients. I have helped people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, acculturation issues, grief, academic performance, self-image, relational issues, and LGTBQ advocacy. If you’d like to get more information, please reach out! I hope we can work together towards achieving your wellness goals! For more information please check my website: https://carolinabaldner.com/
First session
In our first session, we will introduce ourselves, and as you feel comfortable, we will explore topics you want to tackle in therapy as well as your personal goals towards self growth. Therapy is a process, so building a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist is key to achieve success.
Strengths
I am a strong communicator and working with couples and family systems is one of my strengths. I am also very effective slowly working with people with past trauma that manifests in depression and anxiety. Breaking trauma binds and understanding dysfunctional relationships is a passion in my practice.
Ideal clients
Children over 12 years old, teens, adults, family and/or couples.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I allow clients to express themselves freely in sessions while actively listening to their narrative to point out at the elements (symbolic or not) that will help him or her gain insight and self reflection. The therapeutic space is a cathartic place where the client will navigate his or her narrative accompanied by my clinical view. I will also employ other techniques and theories such as Adlerian, CBT, family systems, and solution focused therapy to name a few.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use reframing, working through cognitive dissonance and intrusive thoughts with individual and couples who are facing challenging times. Narcissistic abuse, dysfunctional relationships, maladaptive behaviors, and working to get outside of a trauma bond are some of my specialties in systemic work.
