Dr. Stephanie Carrera, a bilingual Psychologist with a PhD, works with adults and adolescents to help them understand the profound impact of their thoughts, feelings, and actions on their overall wellbeing. She offers an active and empowering therapeutic space for navigating critical issues such as anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity confusion, and cultural transitions.
