About Carina Punsal
I work with teens, young adults, and couples navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, or major transitions. My background includes crisis counseling with the Crisis Text Line, where I supported individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, depression, panic attacks, domestic violence, and abuse, and I continue to bring that grounding, compassionate presence into therapy today. My clinical approach blends ACT, DBT, EFT, mindfulness, and somatic-based therapy, allowing us to tailor each session to what fits you best. For couples, I draw from the Gottman Method and an attachment-based lens to strengthen connection and communication. At the heart of my work is a holistic orientation that recognizes the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and creates a space for growth, healing, and resilience.
