About Joselyn M. Carvalho
Joselyn M. Carvalho is a mental health professional and expressive arts consultant committed to culturally grounded, evidence-informed care. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy from Lesley University and is a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at Boston University.
Joselyn’s work bridges clinical practice, creative expression, and research, with a focus on serving diverse, inner-city communities. She has facilitated expressive arts programs in hospitals, museums, schools, and nonprofit settings—using storytelling, visual arts, and poetry to foster connection, amplify voice, and support emotional healing.
As a national and international speaker, Joselyn has presented on mental health, expressive therapies, and community-based healing at conferences and institutions. She is the author of a debut poetry book, A Voice Written Through Graffiti, which explores narrative as a form of resistance, reflection, and restoration.
In parallel, she leads The Wellness Portfolio, a mental health consultation and creative wellness space offering expressive arts resources, seasonal toolkits, workshops, and culturally responsive programming for individuals, communities, and organizations. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through voice, visibility, and the stories we choose to tell.
