Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Carolina, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and bilingual psychotherapist based in New York City. I’m passionate about offering compassionate, culturally-responsive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds. With over 5 years of experience providing therapy in both English and Spanish, I specialize in supporting clients as they navigate a range of mental health challenges—including trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and personal growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in collaboration, evidence-based practices, and a deep belief in the transformative power of therapy to change lives. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and safe space where you feel empowered to explore, heal, and work toward your goals—at your own pace and with guidance every step of the way.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives, with a renewed sense of clarity and confidence. While therapy can bring up difficult or vulnerable moments, you won’t have to face them alone—I’m here to walk alongside you, offering steady support as you take steps toward growth, healing, and the life you want to build.
