About Mindset
Counseling Center
Compassionate, Whole-Person Counseling Rooted in Care


Our Mission & Heart
Mindset Counseling Center exists to be a place of refuge for individuals and families facing life’s challenges. From the heartbreak of loss to the stress of parenting or the strain of relationships, we walk beside you with understanding, compassion, and guidance toward healing.

Our Counseling Philosophy
Whole-Person, Trauma-Informed Care
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. At Mindset Counseling Center, our counseling philosophy is rooted in compassion and tailored to meet you where you are, offering a whole-person, trauma-informed approach to growth.
Whole-Person Therapy
We believe true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. By caring for the whole person, we help you restore balance, find peace, and create lasting change in every area of your life.
A Compassionate Counseling Approach
Healing begins with connection. We take time to listen with care and respect, creating a safe space where you feel understood, supported, and able to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
Personalized Support for Every Story
Every journey is unique. Whether you’re seeking help for yourself, your child, your marriage, or your family, we tailor therapy to your needs, offering guidance that fits your life and empowers growth.

Our Approach to Therapy
Every person’s story is unique, so therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. At Mindset Counseling Center, we integrate a variety of evidence-based methods to match treatment to your needs. Blending approaches to create a path that feels safe, personal, and effective.
We Listen First
Your story matters. We begin by creating space for you to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
We Earn Your Trust
Counseling works best when you feel safe and supported. We honor your story and move gently, allowing you to guide the pace of your healing.
We Walk Together
Counseling is a partnership. We work alongside you, drawing from methods like EMDR, EFT, CBT, IFS, and more, while respecting your pace, needs, and values.
We Focus on Growth
Every session moves you closer to hope and lasting change. Whether that means stronger relationships, more peace, or renewed confidence.

No matter where you begin, our counseling approach is designed to help you feel supported, understood, and equipped to move forward with hope.

Meet Our Founder
A counselor’s vision to create a safe, welcoming place for healing.
Mindset Counseling Center was founded by Carolena Dunlap, a licensed professional counselor who has devoted her career to walking with people through life’s hardest moments. Her vision was simple yet powerful: to create a place where no one would have to face pain, loss, or struggles alone.
What began as her dream has grown into a welcoming community of care in Limerick, a space where individuals, couples, children, and families can feel safe, supported, and understood. Guided by her belief in whole-person therapy, caring for the mind, body, and spirit, Carolena built Mindset Counseling Center to be more than an office. It is a refuge of hope, healing, and strength for everyone who walks through the door.
