Therapists in Cheyenne, WY

As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

My particular areas of interest lay in coming alongside families and couples by providing marriage-enrichment and communication skills. And specifically working with concerns of anxiety, depression, anger management and communication struggles. I find joy in helping people identify behaviors that negatively affect their lives and relationships with others. I work to bring an awareness to the other voices and instincts in our lives that tug at our hearts and help foster an ability to communicate with constructive and compelling reasonableness. ​

I love helping people find the answers they need through psychological and neuropsychological evaluations. I am passionate about assisting people who have struggled in school, at work, or interpersonally without knowing the reasons why. A comprehensive evaluation identifies an individual's unique strengths and weaknesses, clarifies diagnosis, and provides insight into the treatments that are likely to be most effective. I customize each evaluation to the individual needs of the client. Clients and families leave the evaluation process with individualized and detailed recommendations that guide them toward success.

My passion is help people heal from complex trauma, PTSD, developmental trauma, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and generate overall wellbeing for my clients. Anyone is welcome. This is your world and I just want to teach you to heal yourself, so that you find your center, and have the tools you need to heal yourself for the rest of your life. I want to work with anyone that wants to get better. Even if you can't get out of bed in the morning and your exhausted, come and see me and I'll work to help you find your energy. If your expectations are fighting your thoughts and you feel pulled in 10 directions, come see me.

Kara is a Provisionally Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PCSW- 1114) and enjoys working clients in various stages of life. With her internship at the Wyoming Children's Trust Fund, Kara was actively involved in direct family advocacy work at the state level, including public health studies, outreach and education, and community-specific programming recommendations. Kara was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and she is the mother of three beautiful children who are growing up in this community as well.

I love working with kids ages 6 months to 12 years old and their families. I have participated in a state sponsored 2 year program to learn to assess and treat children from birth to 5 years old. I also co created and facilitated a therapeutic playgroup that included parents and children ages 3-5 years . The group was created to help children and parents build relationship through play and also provide parents with resources on how to manage tantrums or other behavioral concerns. I used play therapy techniques to assist children in processing their thoughts and feelings.

I am a psychoanalytical psychotherapist. This means we work together from a holistic perspective, with the unconscious and your dreams and your personal life experience, including trauma. I work with clients who no longer want to be limited by their reactive patterns, cultural conditioning, insecure attachment styles and past traumas, helping them to embody new possibilities in life and love. Therapy provides a ritualized setting for a process that encourages the development of the client's intimate awareness of him/herself. We can remobilize the thwarted capacity to give and to receive love.
