Psychologist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, manage life transitions, and find balance between professional and personal well-being. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, CPT, and PE for trauma.

As a Certified Perinatal Coach and Childbirth Educator, I also support individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional changes that come with these seasons of life. I especially enjoy working with Latinx professionals and others navigating identity, leadership, and growth.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone—together, we can find your next step toward healing and fulfillment.

Kara Bagnerise

Therapist

Virtual • Clearwater, FL


Hi, I’m Kara Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, and the founder of Unfiltered Clinical Services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex life stressors, trauma, and system involvement, including those connected to the legal or forensic system.

My approach to therapy is real, direct, and grounded in clinical expertise. I create a space where you don’t have to filter your experiences, we work through them together with honesty, structure, and intention. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, I help you build insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies that actually translate into your daily life.

In addition to therapy, I also provide forensic-focused services, including competency-related support and evaluations. My background in correctional and forensic mental health allows me to understand the intersection between mental health and the legal system, and I bring that perspective into both my clinical and evaluative work.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and working with high-acuity populations. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more aligned with the life you’re trying to build.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, I’m here for that work.

Kassandra Calzada

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.
