Carolina believes that we are all doing the best that we can with whatever tools we have available at any given point in time. That being said, at some point in all of our lives we reach a point where either the tools we have been using are no longer working for us, or, we can’t figure out a way to move forward. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations and we are not quite sure how we got there. In a safe,
judgement free environment Carolina will work with you and/or your loved ones to take an honest look at your situation, goals, desires, and functioning, and assist you in once again finding the path to where you want to be. Carolina works with children ages five (5) and up, couples, families, and individuals.
