About Carolina
My name is Carolina Dudley and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in the State of Michigan and Ohio.I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health therapist with nearly two decades of experience helping individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered. As someone with lived experience of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I understand firsthand the unique joys and challenges that come with being neurodivergent. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression.
My practice is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and faith. I offer a non-judgmental, inclusive space where clients—especially those navigating neurodivergence—can explore their experiences, build resilience, and connect with their strengths. Whether you’re working through anxiety, identity, burnout, or relationship struggles, I will meet you where you are with empathy, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for your journey.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing is possible, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

- “While it is early on, I believe Carolina was an attentive listener and let me say anything I needed to while also helping guide me when I didn't know what to say or bring up, which is very helpful as I have a hard time knowing what to say. This is my first time trying therapy and so far it seems like a good fit.”
- “She is knowledgeable and has consistent good feedback”
- “So far shes opened my eyes to a few ways I was seeing myself without actually acknowledging it. Shes patient and on time. She goes at my pace and I appreciate that. I’ve only had her twice but so far this is what I’ve gotten and I feel like that’s a huge and amazing start. Comfortability is key”
