Tierra y Alma Counseling Services is owned and operated by Carolina Robles, LCSW. I am a bilingual, bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in North Carolina. I carry deep pride in the values and beliefs passed down through my Mexican roots, honoring the resilience, warmth, and cultural richness that shaped me. Equally, I embrace my identity as an American.

From a young age, I faced barriers that often required me to work harder than my peers while carrying the weight of my own traumatic experiences. Over time, I came to understand that these struggles reflected the reality of navigating an oppressive society as a Latina woman. This awareness sparked my passion for advocacy, equity, and justice for marginalized communities, and ultimately led me to pursue a career in social work — and later, to become a therapist.

As a clinician, I am deeply committed to validating and affirming the identities and lived experiences of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and LGBTQ+ communities. My work is rooted in cultural humility, compassion, and a dedication to creating safe, healing spaces.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy hiking, playing soccer, and spending quality time with my husband and beloved furbabies.
