Kara Sutherland

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to support individuals through a wide range of life challenges. My background includes working in schools, therapeutic programs, community mental health settings, and family-based services. These experiences have taught me that everyone has their own story, strengths, and struggles, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing and personal growth.

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I want our time together to feel comfortable and genuine—a place where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel supported without judgment. I believe that meaningful change begins with connection, trust, and feeling truly understood. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals. My approach is to meet you where you are, at a pace that feels comfortable, understood, and hopeful.
