Grief counselors and therapists in Boerne, TX

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.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to navigate it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and personalized, with a focus on listening well, building trust, and creating a treatment plan that supports your overall well-being. My hope is that every client feels respected, encouraged, and empowered on their journey toward healing.

I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.

"I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. With nine years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach rarely works. That’s why I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, EMDR, and REBT with a holistic, solution-focused framework to create a proactive plan tailored specifically to you.

My career has been defined by serving those in their most vulnerable moments—from life transitions and developmental stages to veterans and families navigating the complexities of service to individuals fighting addiction and codependency. Whether we are utilizing 12-Step principles or processing trauma through EMDR, my goal is to provide a constructive, non-judgmental space where you can find a concrete path forward. I hold an MS in Counseling Mental Health and am dually licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor (LCDC) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible."

Since life has not given us the instruction manual, I am here to support you with an approach as individualized as you are. I have over three years of experience in clinical in-patient and outpatient settings as a social worker working with children, teens, and adults; a year of experience serving as an adjunct instructor at a university; and seventeen years working with the military community.

I'm a warm, inquisitive, and compassionate therapist here to meet you where you are. I use my education and training as well as my experiences to inform my practice and create a comfortable space for us to explore your thoughts and emotions.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

I am a Los Angeles native with a Bachelor’s in Business and a Master’s in Social Work, I’ve spent the past 10 years doing work I genuinely love. I bring both real‐world perspective and clinical experience into the therapy space—with a little humor along the way. I’m excited to offer a safe, affirming place where we can process together and work toward your ideal goals.

As a fully licensed professional counselor in Texas, I have had the opportunity to work with many populations. Victims of domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with substance abuse, and those managing ongoing anxiety and depression are those with whom I have spent the most time. I prefer to demystify the counseling process and allow clients to be who they are during sessions. I don't want to put you in a box; I want you to feel validated and connected to the world you're in. I can see individuals, adolescents (15+), couples, and families.
