Great to meet you!

Hello, My name is Kara Leon and I am an LCSW. I received my Master's of Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2017. I have worked primarily in the foster care and adoption world, and I received my clinician license in June 2024. I specialize in trauma informed care, grief therapy, CBT, and EMDR.

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal from trauma and grief, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe that mental health treatment works, every person deserves compassionate, evidence-based care, and healing is possible for everyone.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will discuss why you are seeking therapy, your goals for therapy, and the best modalities to use to help you reach your goals. You can expect and open and honest conversation, but mostly compassion for what you are going through and developing a plan to achieve your goals.
