Cara Peroutka

With over 20 years of experience in the helping field, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside children, adults, couples, and families through many seasons of life. My work has been shaped by a deep respect for each person’s story and a belief that meaningful change begins in a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood.

I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals and **couples navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, trauma, and relational challenges. I have extensive experience working with betrayal trauma and the impact it can have on both individuals and relationships. I also hold specialized training for perinatal and post-partum moms and am a Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT-C).

**couples therapy is only offered via private pay, insurance is not accepted.

My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, each person’s story matters, and therapy should reflect that. I am trauma-informed and resiliency focused, my overall goal is to empower clients to navigate whatever is currently happening within their life. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of support, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you toward healing and greater stability.

At the heart of my work is a balance between compassion and direction. Therapy is a place to feel supported and understood, but also a place for growth. A first session is focused on gathering information so I can better understand your lived experiences and perspective on what is currently presenting for you. From there we consider goals and direction for the type of support you are seeking.
