Carla Brun

I'm a psychotherapist in DC, where I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, perinatal mental health concerns, and life transitions. My practice is rooted in a relational, psychodynamic framework, and I integrate attachment theory, mindfulness, CBT, and parts work to support clients in developing deeper insight while building practical strategies for change.I'm especially passionate about working with individuals during the reproductive years, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that often accompany this stage of life. I also enjoy helping clients understand longstanding relational patterns, process traumatic experiences, and move toward greater self-compassion.As a Latina therapist, I recognize that our identities and lived experiences shape how we move through the world and relate to ourselves and others. I strive to create a space where clients can explore the ways race, culture, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other intersecting identities inform their experiences. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and offer bilingual sessions for clients who are English dominant, though would like to occasionally express themselves in Spanish. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship. I value authenticity, collaboration, and creating a therapeutic space where clients feel both deeply known and gently challenged to grow. I enjoy collaborating with other clinicians and value interdisciplinary, relationship-centered care.
