Carolina Sevilla

Our Founder and CEO

Carolina Sevilla is the founder of Mentality Inc a company that is redefining the future of mental health. Through her groundbreaking mind technologies, she is dismantling the limitations of the traditional mental health industry. With 24 years of expertise in hypnotic states and in deciphering complex mental disorders that mainstream science could not resolve, Carolina pioneered revolutionary systems (The Neural Remodeling System and Conductual Arts) that decode and reconfigures the mind, achieving what science thought impossible. Her mastery in treating the most severe mental conditions like schizophrenia, multiple personalities, catatonia, and other mental illnesses, has allowed her to restore clients to their true selves without a single chemical intervention. From this feat she became known as the ultimate mind hacker.

Carolina’s ability to read mind algorithms with the precision of a top coder has led to the global adoption of her psychological systems by governments, healthcare institutions, corporations, and even the arts and film industries. Her therapies became so sought after that she had a six-year waiting list of clients, a testament to her unrivaled impact. This success catapulted her into building one of the most profitable mental health enterprises in LATAM fundamentally shifting how society thinks and feels.

Now, through Mentality Inc., she is at the forefront of pioneering the most advanced mind systems and instruments, developing transformative technologies like the SAFFI app, which empowers individuals to see, store, and work with their minds self-sufficiently. Additionally, she is leading the development of artificial consciousness, applying her system’s principles to push the boundaries of what’s possible in both mental health and AI. In the social sphere, her Conductual Arts System is making a groundbreaking impact across the performance industries and the masses. By leveraging emotions and sensory engagement, it creates enduring neurological change and facilitates effortless learning.

Carolina’s work is not just transforming lives; it is elevating global mental health to new heights and shaping the future of human consciousness.
