Hello! I’m Carolina Melguizo Gentry, and I’m originally from Colombia, South America. I have been working with disadvantaged communities in Minnesota, in different roles, since I arrived in the Twin Cities 17 years ago. I have a Law Degree with Emphasis in Economic Law from Colombia and later earned a Master's in Multicultural Clinical Social Work from Augsburg University. My interests include helping children and families, particularly new immigrants, to process traumatic experiences and support them in their journey to integrate into a new culture. I use culturally responsive strategies based on TF-CBT, Theraplay, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative therapy from a strength-based and culturally responsive perspective to support my clients in managing the stressors related to the challenges that they face. 

Carolina Melguizo Gentry es una terapeuta bilingüe con más de 10 años de experiencia trabajando con la comunidad Latina en Minnesota.

Carolina trabaja con niños, adolescentes, individuos y parejas usando una variedad de prácticas terapéuticas en las que incorpora los valores e intereses de sus clientes. 

Carolina currently offers telehealth services, and she accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, UCARE, and private pay clients. She also offers psychosocial immigration evaluations and individual/group supervision for those seeking licensure in the social work field.
