Cara has a great deal of professional experience in a variety of therapuetic feilds, she has a warm and gentle theraputic presentation, would recommend her highly
She is great. Helping me with accountability and next steps
Cara and I have been talking for years now and I'm blown away how she remembers so many details that I've told her, even some of the things I've forgotten about. She genuinely makes you feel heard and cared for. She also very grounding, and is always able to get me back on track and how to deal with my emotions. I am so grateful to have her in my life. Knowing she is in my corner makes situations alot easier and she is very quick to respond back especially if life threw a curve ball at me. I would highly recommend Cara to anyone who needs someone to listen, give different point of views in a situation and help lead you to the right solution. Thank you Cara ❤️
Love her! She’s helped me tremendously with anxiety/panic attacks and through my husbands cancer/passing.
So nice to talk to someone who listens and supports my journey to reduce my stress
Cara is so well-informed about how to help me. I am also a therapist of many years, so I am sure it may be tough to help me at times. However, she has been a true blessing to me. She has helped me through some very challenging times. I have faced some incredible life challenges since I met her and I am so glad I have had her by my side. She is gentle in her guidance and support. Highly recommended!
Cara has a been a tremendous help in the last few months that I've seen her. I've gone through one of the most challenging times of my life recently and Cara has helped me navigate the obstacles that I have been struggling to overcome on my own. You can tell that she genuinely cares and that my well-being is a priority. Thanks Cara.
Great advice
She is lovely and very understanding and supportive!
Cara is great, highly recommend!
Cara is a kind and empathetic therapist that I require. She has the tools to help me. I trust her and look forward to our weekly sessions.
Cara is awesome! Very knowledgable and free judgement zone.
Best therapist I have, highly recommend. She’s so nice and understanding! Helps with problems!
I feel that we connected well together.
Very caring and thoughtful. Cara is very patient and understanding.
Doc is great she has been there for me every step of the way
Cara has been the most amazing support in my life, especially with how things are right now. She is definitely someone I need as a therapist. I've been in and out of therapy for years and she is the first one that actually takes the time to listen and understand and that in itself makes her a beautiful soul.
I have had only one sessioin with Cara, but feel it will be a good match!!!
I am dealing with a horrible break-up since last year and I have been in contact with Cara since February this year and she is the sweetest and most caring therapist I have ever encountered here. She really listens and she sees me for who I am and helping me how to cope up with the break-up I'm dealing with until now. We have some good laughs most of the time when we talk on video call and she is gentle when it comes to giving me some advice. She always gives me encouragement and the best support when I need it. Cara is my most favorite therapist and I highly recommend her! ???
Very happy so far
Incredible experience so far with Cara!
So far I am very pleased with Cara! I feel like she totally understands me and will help me get through this.
Fantastico!!
Great listen and very knowledgeable and helpful.. have noticed a huge improvement since starting sessions with her.
Cara gives me confidence in my struggles and validates me completely. She has been warm and kind and very reassuring. I LOATHED thinking about starting up therapy again and getting established with a new therapist, but Cara made it a very easy transition. I’ve only had 2 sessions so far but I am actually looking forward to dig even deeper into our next sessions. I feel stronger in my life decisions and she’s given me kind words to remind myself when I am questioning myself. Thank you for making this such a great start to a fantastic journey!
Cara has shown me a new way to view my life, wich has led to a tremendous weight being lifted. I will always be thankful for her help.
Cara takes the time to understand my issues. She helps me work through them. She is very caring and insightful! I would strongly recommend her!
Cara has been extremely helpful for me as I transition through some life changes and relationship issues. She listens, validates my feelings and helps me to see my situations from an outside perspective to see the healthy paths forward.
Therapy has greatly impacted my life in positive ways and having a trusted person like Cara has helped me greatly. I look forward to healing and helping myself and talking with her is an important part of my routine now. She is a great therapist and has helped me in many ways with more to go.
She is amazing and has helped me greatly through my separation from a narcissist husband
Cara is pretty accurate in her analysis!
I have seen Cara for well over a year now and she has instrumentally helped me through a hugely transformative time. A long traumatic history and recent separation has with her help become a new beginning.
She’s great, really pays attention, and really cares
So far in my first session, Cara has really heard my problem spot on and gave me some great things to think about and tools to use towards solving my issue. I look forward to advancing with her.
Very open minded and patient!
Long overdue, but I've been seeing Cara for more than a year now and she truly is my weekly lighthouse in a storm. I was in a very bad place when I started therapy but thanks to her guidance, I now have a lot more tools to cope, a lot more confidence/self worth and just much more knowledge of who I am and where I want to go.
Cara is compassionate, professional, and has helped me with everything I've thrown at her. She knows exactly when to keep the mood light/manageable, and when to delve into my past and my issues with sincerity, understanding and expertise.
Her memory and her note-taking are exceptional... she remembers everything so we converse with full eye contact, which means a lot to me.
Above all, I trust her with everything I am and everything that has happened to me. And that is not something I do lightly or often.
If you're lucky enough to work with Cara, you're in very, very safe and brilliant hands.
Thank you, Cara. You rock / you are my rock x
Cara has clear expertise and experience and really helped me make sense of life and look forward to rebuilding after major life changes. She gets a good read on situations and without being judgmental, offer insights into flawed thinking. Would definitely recommend to someone in a similar situation.
Cara has given me a lot of great advice. She always helps me see things from another perspective. Just after one session she has given me tools to help with communication and set boundaries. Highly recommend Cara
She’s very thoughtful and kind in her speech. She helped me with some of my family issues
She's very fair and gives good advice.
I've always looked forward to speaking with Cara every week. She's very warm and kind, and had made me feel comfortable and safe enough to speak my mind. The best thing I've learned from our conversations is to live in the present, which had helped me get through each day no matter how good or bad it may be. Thank you, Cara.
Cara is amazing. I have never felt this comfortable with a therapist. I know I can trust her with anything and she won't judge. It's been a bit under three months I believe, and she has helped immensely.
Cara has been fantastic. Since starting with her my mental health and life quality as a result have greatly improved.
Cara is a calm and compassionate therapist with great insight and advice. She listens and provides logical feedback that enables you to clearly assess your concerns and find solutions. Cara is a great therapist for anyone going through tough issues and who are looking for practical solutions applicable to those issues. Would definitely recommend Cara to anyone I know!
Cara was lovely and helped me realise I do actually know what I want out of life and what I actually need to do to sort it.
I enjoyed my calls with Cara. She listened, asked good questions and got me to think of things in a different and helpful way. If you’re LGBTQ you can feel safe and comfortable with Cara.
Great therapist
Cara gave us the space and support to improve our communicate and reflect on our contributions, while focusing on coming from a kind place!
Cara is extremely kind and attentive. Her insight has been incredibly helpful and needed! Very much enjoy our sessions and always look forward to them.
Cara instantly adapted into my life to help with current situations I am going through without wasting any time. When I ask for advice, guidance, suggestions she responds with the knowledge I need to be successful and explains it in a way I understand. She is my cheerleader and it was everything I needed.
Cara is very kind and gentle. She knows when to listen and when to give advice. I look forward to our session each week.
Cara does a great job of combining empathy and intellect in her approach to therapy. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know.
My partner and I have been working with Cara for a couple of months now. She is an amazing listener but also offers great advice to steer us in a positive direction. We’re working on improving our communication and establishing a stronger foundation, both of which are on the up and up. We communicated quite a bit before working with Cara but now the conversations are more productive and time efficient. What used to take hours every week is now accomplished in our weekly sessions.
Very insightful. Thoughtful responses. Patient.
I've been with Cara for three months. She is very warm, easy to be comfortable with, and gives great advice or insights to your situation and how to handle it. Within these three months, I was able to fix my relationships with people rather than avoid it & become a lot stronger in my mindset as well. I am really thankful to have her as my first therapist.
I think Cara is one of the best therapist there could ever be out there. She understands me, appreciates me, helps me find solutions to all my problems and honestly just provides me with a space to be myself. Whoever decides to go in with Cara will have the best experience
she really helped me understand the reasons behind the things i do and gave me a different perspective of things
Cara was a non judgmental mirror for me, she listened and asked a few questions giving me a comfortable arena to work out my issues, and with her careful guidance I believe I have a renewed confidence in who I am, and am happy with the person I see in that mirror! I was very nervous about divulging every thought and perceived or real inequities that brought me to require the services of a counselor, but immediately I was at ease with Cara, and she dispelled any doubts and fears that gave me anxiety about getting help! If you doubt yourself or someone or something has disturbed your equilibrium, get help! Thank You Cara
Absolutely amazing person. I've never once felt judged or uncomfortable sharing anything with her even though we haven't been talking very long. She has a friendly personality and is able to joke and make light of situations when needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering starting therapy or in need of a new therapist.
Cara is a great therapist.
Almost immediately, Cara was able to make me feel comfortable in our session. Being my first time trying this type of therapy I was a bit anxious, uncomfortable and sceptical. Those feelings didn't last long at all, I found immense relief in how quickly we connected. After our second session I felt at ease sharing with her, almost like talking with a long time family friend.
Very helpful
Cara is a great listener and asks the right questions.
This is a very vulnerable and bumpy road transitional period in my life...and I've never felt more in control than ever in a time like this, thanks to Cara's wisdom....very lucky to have her.
