Hello! I'm Kara Ranes, licensed marriage and family therapist. I have over a decade of experience treating mental health issues including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and dual-diagnosis. I'm certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), a treatment model that helps reduce emotional distress associated with PTSD.

I understand the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist. Research actually proves it's the biggest predictor of success in therapy! My genuine and empathic nature allows me to connect with different personality types and tailor my therapeutic approach to you, based on your specific treatment needs. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and contained space where you can feel comfortable exploring the issues that brought you to therapy. I'm open-minded, empathic, and objective, so you can feel safe being vulnerable. I work collaboratively with you to explore your concerns, and then together, we develop a treatment plan that's tailored to fit your specific goals and preferences.
