Kara Houlihan

Works with clients of all ages

Kara Houlihan works with children, teens, and adults, supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Kara’s approach to therapy is relaxed, collaborative, and client-centered, with a strong focus on helping people feel comfortable and supported from the start.

Kara wants her clients to know that wherever they are on their journey, they don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. She prides herself on showing up as her authentic, human self in the therapy room and believes that when clients are able to do the same, that’s where meaningful growth and change can truly happen. Kara is deeply committed to meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them as they move forward.

Kara has experience working as a therapist in a nonprofit counseling agency and has additional training in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She is also currently completing a play therapy training program to support children in developmentally appropriate ways.

Outside of therapy, Kara enjoys reading, visiting her favorite coffee shops, and spending time with her loved ones. One quote that resonates with her is: “We cannot change anything unless we accept it.”
