Inner Child Therapy
I help courageous, committed, and open-minded individuals who are experiencing a pattern of either anxiety, conflict, and or unhappiness fuel by their relationships with others and or themselves who will accept me as their guide to help them feel safe and empowered in their lives. As an inner child therapist, I will help you achieve this through a road map filled with tips, tools and mini lessons that will support you so that you can have the life you deserve.
We will always start therapy by talking about your issue at hand. After, we will dive into the inner child therapy transformation.
What you repeat gets ingrained. And we have a lot of limiting beliefs ingrained in us. To break from them we must start by first getting clear of what it is that we want our new life to look like. Get ready to challenge your beliefs. To feel a lot of feelings like anger and sadness while you go through this journey. I am here to guide you, but you will be the one doing the work.
The core of this therapy is learning how to have a conversation with your subconscious. All the while you learn about yourself and take a clear look at what your life looks like at this moment. Get ready to do charts, vision boards, do exercises, talk about your family dynamics, receive tips (how not to take things personal, how to make a decision based on your values, how to encourage yourself to do when you don’t have the motivation) among other things.
The results are life changing. There is a before and an after. All you must do is make a decision to do it.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She has been amazing!
I have never felt so immediately comfortable with a therapist. Carla makes you feel safe to express yourself and very supported. I’m looking forward to more sessions with her.
Carla is a very skilled and knowledgeable therapist. Using her experience and expertise to warmly but firmly guide towards the path of healing, she utilizes many a modality, including but not limited to, inner child work and talk therapy. She encourages journaling and provides homework that help build skills outside of the session so healing can be worked on throughout the week
Carla Pinto brought peace to my confused mind. We brainstormed together, laughed together, She had so many words of wisdom. She really got me! I found things started falling into place. She listens well, and by doing so, I was able to connect with memories long forgotten. By doing so, many of my “whys” started to be answered. She made me feel not alone in some of my, what I thought, were crazy thoughts. She is wise, strong, knowledgeable, supportive. Turning 70 has been hard on my soul. Carla has so helped with my journey to embrace my life and enjoy the journey.
Carla has been very helpful for me.
Knowledgeable. Professional. Kind. Just what I was needing at this time.
Carla is absolutely amazing and you are so blessed if you have the opportunity to work with her! Thank you so much for all you do!
Carla is so thoughtful and caring! She's also really insightful. She helped me through something really difficult. She's awesome!
These sessions have been extremely insightful. For the first time, I feel that my therapist really understands my needs and addresses them. So grateful for connecting with her at this time. It is a pivotal experience for me.
So far, this has been a very positive experience. Carla has been very attentive and engaging.
Carla is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and competent. Very fortunate to have found her.
My first session with Carla was the best first session I've ever had with a mental health practitioner. She hears what I say (or type in a message) and she responds not just kindly and lovingly, but also very helpfully. She is so wise and clearly loves what she does. She has taught me techniques for dealing with stress that really work. After 30 years of therapy I'm finally getting somewhere.
I appreciate all Carla’s helpful questions and thoughts on where I want to go with this therapy. And I really appreciate her support and feedback on my weekly adventures in life!
I've had a few sessions with Carla so far& I've really enjoyed it. She listens to me & gives me insight that gets me thinking about my current situations from a different perspective. I've been on a healing journey for a few years but I've been doing it solo. It's nice to have a professional guide me through it & give me tools to continue making progress on my own.
I have been working with Carla for only a few sessions but she has helped so much in such a short amount of time. She has given me a new perspective to play around with when it comes to my life and struggles and exercises I can actually complete.
My therapist is very good, she actively listens during our sessions, and has provided some mental tools to use to help calm my anxiety. This has been a worthwhile investment.
