# Carina Gustafsson

**LMFT**

I am a bilingual licensed child and family therapist with 10+ years of experience working with children and their families.

I became a therapist for kids and families because there is so much hope working with children and families. I feel like I can help families drive change for the better and ultimately help kids be better equipped for the future.

There is honestly no better job!
