Carolina Torres-Medrano

Welcome! You've made an important decision to begin a journey towards healing if you are searching for a therapist. I may be that therapist that will become your helper and motivator as you improve yourself and your life. Let me tell you about myself and my expertise. I use evidence-based theories and techniques using a person-centered and trauma-sensitive approach to create a treatment plan specifically for you based on your mental health needs or life circumstances. Believe it or not, you know yourself better than anyone else; however, during our time of distress and need, it is challenging to make sense of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, needs or find the key to resolve or navigate our struggles. That's where I come in! As your therapist and through the therapeutic relationship, we will use my experience, education and skillset to help sort through all of those to find solutions and provide you with support as you heal, create change, and achieve personal growth to become the best version of yourself. I have worked with children, adolescents (including pregnant teens and young mothers), at-risk populations from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and adults. I am bilingual (English and Spanish). I have successfully helped those challenged by personal change, life adjustments, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, separation, family issues, separation/divorce, survivors of emotional, sexual, physical and/or domestic abuse or human trafficking including sexual exploitation and/or forced labor, looking to reinvent themselves, feel or become empowered, or wanting to change behavioral patterns. Something else I am great at and enjoy is public speaking and presenting on mental health related topics. As a presenter I am engaging, motivating, and love educating others on ways they can better themselves or skills that they can then use to help others. If you are interested in having me speak to your agency, company, or even just a group of friends, tell me what your target audience is and let me design something for you! My past experiences include nursing, corrections, and law enforcement. These other professions gave me invaluable experiences that helped shape me into who I am today- always wanting to help others, even in the smallest ways possible. I invite you to book a 15-minute free consultation where we can discuss your needs and find out if we are a match. If we are not a match I will be more than glad to help you find someone who is. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷 Tambien, hablo español! Si has tomado la decisión de buscar una terapeuta, tal vez, yo podria ayudarte y motivarte a mejorarte a ti mismo/a y tu vida. A traves de la relacion terapeutica, utilizo teorías y técnicas basadas en evidencia utilizando un enfoque centrado en ti manteniendo siempre una sensibilidad a tus experiencias negativas vividas y/o trauma para crear un plan de tratamiento específicamente para ti en función de tus necesidades de salud mental o circunstancias de vida.

Soy bilingüe (inglés y español).
