Carla Brun

Carla is a psychotherapist licensed to work with clients in DC, Maryland, and Virginia via telehealth. She specializes in perinatal mental health, trauma, and anxiety. With over a decade of clinical experience and multiple advanced certifications, Carla's work is grounded in solid clinical training while also honoring lived experience, cultural wisdom, and the ways people learn to adapt long before they ever step into therapy. Carla's foundation as a former pediatric psychotherapist profoundly shapes her work. Years of working with children has given her insight into how early relationships and family dynamics shape us. That lens is particularly valuable for people processing difficult childhoods, as well as parents navigating the complex emotional journey of raising children. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) Latina therapist, she's attuned to how identity and language shape emotional well-being. She brings an intersectional lens to therapy, where clients can explore how race, gender, sexuality, culture, and other aspects of identity show up in their lives. She often works with English-dominant clients who are multilingual.
