She has also been a part of Early Intervention programmes, providing home and centre-based services to children and their families, as well as mental health assessments and counselling.
Carolyn was previously the head clinician at the Department of Youth Services in Boston, MA, where she offered clinical evaluations and provided counselling to incarcerated youths and their families and facilitated Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and substance abuse groups.
