Mirella Caro-Cortes, QS, LMHC, NCC, CCTP

Mirella Caro-Cortes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with over a decade of experience walking alongside individuals, couples, and families through some of life's most challenging seasons.

But beyond her credentials, Mirella brings something equally powerful to her work — a mother's heart.  As a parent herself, she understands firsthand the joys, the worries, and the weight of raising a family in today's world.  That lived experience shapes the way she shows up in every session — with genuine empathy, patience, and a deep belief that every family has the strength to heal and grow.

Mirella's approach is warm, faith-based, and deeply relational.  She creates a space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, brave enough to be vulnerable, and supported enough to truly change.  Whether she is working with a child finding their voice, a couple rediscovering their connection, or an individual stepping into their own healing journey, Mirella is fully present — and fully invested.

Founding Image and Likeness Counseling was not just a professional milestone.  It was an answer to a calling.  And every family she serves is a reminder of exactly why she does this work.
