Carolina Lara, psychologist and clinical sexologist

My background

A clinician and a manager

I have over 14 years of practice in psychology and sexology. I have been a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec since 2011 and of the Ordre professionnel des sexologues du Québec since 2023.

I hold a university degree in psychology, a master’s degree in clinical sexology from the Université du Québec à Montréal and a master’s degree in public administration. I have worked within Quebec’s public health system, notably as a mental health manager in the health and social services network. For several years, I have also expanded my practice as a clinician in private practice.

As a psychologist, I have gained experience with different client groups, including adolescents, couples, people with intellectual disabilities, autistic people and immigrants.

My background as a manager also gives me a particular understanding of mental health and of the underlying issues in organizations, such as burnout, anxiety or adjustment disorders.
