Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Kara Bates. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) who has had experience in a variety of counseling settings.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including solution-focused, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and more. It takes courage to reach out and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

What you can expect from me

I provide a holistic approach to counseling by addressing your physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. I approach therapy in an integrative, client-centered way in which my clients are seen as the expert in their lives to ensure the highest quality care is provided. I assist and guide you through interpersonal changes and healing. We will begin where you are and tailor your treatment from there.
