Adriana Caro, MS, LPC
Adriana earned her Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and has been in the mental health field since 2002. Beginning her career at the Institute of Living in Hartford, CT and then spending the following 16 years in a child/adolescent psychiatric hospital, Adriana was able to observe and study human behavior and mental health disorders, and implement various cognitive and behavioral interventions in collaboration with multidisciplinary clinical teams. Adriana subscribes to a Psychoanalytic approach, asserting that early experiences influence thoughts, behaviors, personalities, and life choices. Adriana enjoys sharing evidence-based psychoeducation, as well as relying on her intuition to connect with and understand others. For these reasons, Adriana enjoys conducting psychological assessments, most recently for reproductive medicine, a field that is deeply personal for her, as she experienced infertility and utilized reproductive medicine to conceive her twin girls. Adriana is licensed to practice in Connecticut, with a pending application to practice in Texas.
