Kara Jane Vesely

Kara Jane Vesely, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), believes that the therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one. She works closely with her clients to address the issues that may be holding them back from living more fulfilling lives. With a compassionate, empathetic, and nonjudgmental approach, Kara seeks to understand each individual's unique life experiences. Her graduate school training in art therapy reinforced her belief in the healing power of creativity. At Advances and Breakthroughs in Mental Health, with offices in Long Beach and Huntington Beach, she specializes in treating eating disorders, drawing from over ten years of experience in hospital, residential, and outpatient settings with both adolescents and adults. Kara has also worked in clients' homes, helping them declutter their living spaces, which provided valuable insights into their experiences. Former clients have praised her ability to reach them during their darkest moments, and Kara hopes that her down-to-earth, collaborative, and creative approach to therapy resonates with new clients seeking transformation.
