Education & Experience

I specialize in helping individuals heal from deep-seated wounds and relational friction. My clinical focus areas include complex trauma, attachment issues, and systemic relationship challenges. My trauma-informed care focuses on "What happened to you?", and not on "What's wrong with you?", empowering healing by recognizing life's deep impacts on well-being. English

Taking the step toward therapy requires immense courage. I am Lidiana Cartolano, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist with over 20 years of experience, including my roots as a Psychologist in Brazil. In my practice, I provide a safe, bilingual (English/Portuguese) space for children (6+), teens, and adults. Whether we use EMDR to heal past trauma, CBT to shift overwhelming thoughts, or Mindfulness to ground you, my focus is to help you build lasting resilience and live authentically.
