Hi there.

I’m Dr. Carolyn Black (she/they), a Licensed Psychologist (LP) in the state of Colorado. I am also a registered member of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT). I’m an integrative psychotherapist, diagnostic evaluator, and intersectional advocate.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Not all identities are visible. As such, I live by the rule of "never make assumptions." I strongly believe in the importance of learning, exploring, and understanding context for all aspects of ourselves and others - as we humans can be pretty complex. I enjoy working with, advocating for, and embracing neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ communities, forensic populations, and intersectional multiculturalism in all of its forms. I am originally from Miami, FL and am of Cuban heritage on my maternal side. I am pansexual, genderqueer, and always excited to learn more about myself and those around me. I consider myself a denizen of the Internet and love incorporating meme culture into my work.
