MEET Carolina !

Hello! My name is Carolina and I’m a Mental Health Counselor. I’ve worked as a certified peer specialist which has given me the opportunity to use my lived experience with mental health to help motivate and connect with others through their own journeys of acceptance, healing, and recovery. I’m the proud daughter of Brazilian immigrants who has worked endlessly to build and establish a sustainable life for themselves and their families in the United States –their sacrifices and hardships have inspired me to continuously work at making my dreams a reality while always remaining humble. I’m culturally sensitive and strive for diversity and inclusion among all people. I aim to develop a therapeutic relationship with individuals I collaborate with to ensure that they feel safe and comfortable during treatment. When working with individuals, I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach while utilizing mindfulness techniques to build skills of introspection, independence, self-determination, and self-advocacy.
