About Me.
I am Carolina Molina, a Licensed Professional Counselor, offering psychological evaluations for immigration and legal purposes. I am currently expanding my practice into this area and approach this work with diligence, ethical rigor, and adherence to established assessment standards.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have clinical experience working with diverse populations and individuals affected by trauma, chronic stress, and significant life transitions. Coming from an immigrant family background informs my cultural awareness while maintaining objectivity, neutrality, and professional boundaries throughout the evaluation process. When additional language support is required, I collaborate with qualified interpreters to ensure accuracy and clarity.
My approach is structured, respectful, and detail-oriented, with a focus on producing clear, well-supported evaluations that meet legal and professional expectations.
