Getting to know Carolina Castro Almeida

Hi there, I'm Carolina! Congratulations on seeking support! I know it can be a big step that takes courage, time, and commitment. I work with adults who are experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress. I take a strength-based, solution-focused, and collaborative approach to therapy, focusing on your needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin working together on your healing process. My approach I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), as well as a multicultural and trauma-focused perspective. My approach is fluid and ever changing to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual client. Together, we will identify and create priorities and strategies that will help you achieve your goals. My focus I work with adults and older adults from different backgrounds who are experiencing a variety of issues, such as life transition, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, or are caring for loved ones with complex medical conditions. I will work with you to help you navigate your feelings, identify your goals, and create a tailored plan that is achievable and acknowledges your strengths. My communication style I use clear and open communication to create a genuine and supportive environment. I practice active listening and motivational interviewing skills to facilitate understanding and provide opportunities for self-expression and reflection. You can expect me to treat you with kindness when we are working through challenges in your journey toward healing. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist after I realized the invaluable help that receiving appropriate mental health services had on my life. I have personally struggled with feelings of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.
