Carolyn Valenzuela
FOUNDER + HEAD THERAPIST
Carolyn created the practice after years of sitting with clients who felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they couldn’t name — not because they were broken, but because their inner world needed care and understanding. Her work blends IFS, mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed therapy to help clients slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with a steadier sense of self.
