Hello! My name is Carolina, and I am a licensed professional counselor (bilingual/Spanish). My greatest passion is helping others live their best lives because no matter who you are or where you come from, you deserve to live the life you CHOOSE! As a clinician, I help my clients gain the insight, skills, and tools to overcome life challenges and move toward healing and wellness. I started my counseling journey about ten years ago, providing psychoeducation and counseling to children and teens. I worked with families, couples, and individuals. Most of my clinical training has been in autism, multi-systemic therapy, and trauma, working primarily with the Latino population or black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). In addition, I have extensive experience working with victims of crime and sexual assault and survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, adjustment disorder/transitions, grief/loss, postpartum depression/anxiety, and loss through miscarriage. I recently began my journey as a doctoral student in counseling this past summer. I hope to continue growing my practice and making a positive impact in the lives of others. I am also certified in success and life coaching and love incorporating those skills into my work in therapy. I genuinely believe in the power of the mind and how important it is to care for ourselves and our mental health. I love being with family, reading, watching movies, and relaxing with my pets in my free time. I am a mother, wife, sister, and friend, and I'm so grateful for the people in my life and the opportunity to be part of others' stories and their path to healing. Please reach out if you are ready to take this step in your life. I am looking forward to working together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Therapy is self-care. I strive to provide my clients with valuable insight, validation, and effective tools and skill sets to overcome challenges. I inform my clients, "This is your space and your time," and I respect the time we are together by active listening, being non-judgmental, and establishing a motivational and empowered mindset.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-based, trauma-informed approaches, and interventions. I am also a certified specialist in anger management and trained in success and life coaching.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength as a clinician is establishing strong, safe, supportive therapeutic relationships with my clients. Clients report that I am easy to talk to and come into the session ready to work on challenging the things that prevent you from living your best life and being the best version of yourself.
