Life can feel overwhelming and stressful. We will work together to help relieve the worries you face and build the confidence to navigate life. I am here to listen and support you on your journey. My name is Cara. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and have worked as a counselor and therapist in NYC for 10 years. I have experience working with individuals dealing with the struggles of everyday life including anxiety, depression, stress, career obstacles, relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I have an individualized approach that is trauma-informed, strength-based, and person-centered. I incorporate components of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT,) psychodynamic, and mindfulness.
Reach out, and let’s start a partnership towards a life that makes you feel prepared in the present and for what is next - because that’s what you deserve.
