Hello! My name is Kara Allnutt, I have experience working with all ages and backgrounds and I am most passionate about helping families, teenagers, young adults and children. I have found that I am able to get through to many teens and adolescents who have previously not been very engaged in therapy, and I have experience in helping individuals work through family relational problems, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, trauma, sexual abuse, and Mood Disorders. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and I have an ADHD specialist certification (ADHD-CCSP).
I believe in the importance of relationships and healthy communication. I love to play, laugh, and joke with you, as I find that real emotional healing happens when we can be naturally ourselves and feel comfortable in growing and learning how to express ourselves more genuinely. My approach to therapy is integrative, emotion focused, and client centered.
If you are struggling to find ways to communicate with your child, feel like daily stress is taking a toll on your emotional health, or just haven't yet found a therapist that "clicks", give me a call. I would love to help you and your family.

My clinical focus is on working with children, teens, and young adults. I accept couples on a very limited basis, as it is not my expertise. I work mainly with adolescents seeking to manage ADHD and anxiety, or with clients experiencing emotional difficulties due to family tension/conflict.
