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!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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 is incredible, she makes you feel important and heard. She once told me she has 70 clients at any given time yet with that many people she can recall the small details that you mentioned months prior. When speaking with Cara you know you are talking to someone who cares. Thank you Cara for being an amazing person and helping me through my journey ❤️
Cara has helped me so much in working through my concerns and issues. I feel so much better and I look forward to my sessions. I appreciate her ability to listen to me and she makes me feel safe.
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
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.
Professional easy going and comforting
Cara has been very helpful to me in this time of need. I have so glad I found her. She hears me and helps me find ways to manage my thoughts and feelings. She is able to help me in ways I cannot do for myself and see the parts of me I cannot see. I could not have gotten through this time without her and I am so grateful to her.
Cara is amazing! She listens so well and helps me see things differently, changing my life. She is always supportive and I feel like I can talk to her about anything at all. She is very comforting and always a joy to speak with. She really understands me, knows where I am coming from and how to read between the lines. In my life, I had many other different therapists and she is by far the best one I ever had. I would highly recommend Cara to help you through your difficult times or even learning new things about yourself.
Very knowledgeable and supporting , great listener and very patient and helpful. Very easy to talk too.
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
Cara is amazing; patient professional and empathetic.
She’s very thoughtful and kind in her speech. She helped me with some of my family issues
Cara is the best therapist I ever had, she gets me right away and knows how to read between the lines. She's very easy to talk with and open up to. I am super pleased I was paired up with her, and can not wait to see where this journey takes us :)
By far the best therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve tried several over the years! She listens and gives advice. Usable tools that have really helped me with my anxiety. I can’t recommend Cara enough! She’s changed my life.
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.
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 is an excellent therapist who goes above and beyond in her care and has an amazing ability to see the situation, and I can highly recommend her.
Cara is approachable and caring. I feel safe and listened to. I look forward to our session's.
As always…Cara is amazingly gifted as a therapist and has been life changing for me!
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 is a wonderful councillor and gives support, encouragement and gentle guidance where needed. She is a great listener and is amazing in her ability to keep track of complex and drawn-out issues yet focus on what is needed in that session, gently directing me to the best outcome. Always with a smile and encouragement and she brings a lighter mood to me in the process.
Compassionate, professional and funny. All the things I need.
Still LOVE Cara! She is seriously the best Therapist I have found. I would 100% recommend her!
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.
Professional compassionate and always upbeat
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.
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 wonderful! The right mix of a caring listener and inquiring mind, probing into the areas that need exploring. I have both enjoyed my sessions and grown from them, and have lots of hope for the future. Cara is Very qualified and experienced in the more unusual issues with alternate lifestyles and very supportive of who I am, helping me to be my best healthy version. I highly recommend her.
As always Cara is truly the best!! She reaches out to me when she hasn’t heard from me and I LOVE that. She really is kind, reassuring and really really wonderful at her job! It is like having a friend who is an expert and always available to help!! Of the many Therapists I’ve tried she is BY FAR the best!!!! Thank you Cara for al you have done and continuing to do for me!!!!!!
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.
Cara is very no nonsense in assisting me in dealing with issues. We also enjoy a good laugh once in awhile. My session with Cara is important and productive for me
Cara is AMAZING! She listens and remembers things about me/my life! She reaches out when she hasn’t heard from me in a while. She has taught me many useful tools and said things that I am able to repeat to myself and help with my anxiety in the moment! Absolutely the best!!
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
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.
