Carla cares. Unlike the majority of the other mental health professionals in the city. She listens, is empathetic and breaks complex things down in an easy to understand manner. Most critically, she's non-judgemental (also a surprisingly rare trait amongst healthcare professionals in the city).

My son had a severe brain trauma injury and it was very hard to find a Neuropsychologist who has the experience Dr Carla has. My son was immediately impressed and happy with Dr Carla. She is professional, warm, straight to the point and will not waste time doing unneeded therapies. We are very grateful to find her and be with her during my son’s healing journey.
