Cara Raymond, PhD, is a compassionate psychologist who believes that it is essential for clients to feel comfortable and hopeful about therapy. She understands that when individuals experience this sense of safety, therapy is more likely to yield positive outcomes. Cara treats each person as a unique individual with their own distinct experiences and needs. Through a collaborative approach, she works with clients to identify the specific challenges they wish to address, as well as the most effective strategies to promote change, healing, and growth. For new clients, she offers a free initial consultation by phone, allowing both parties to determine if they would feel at ease working together. With a diverse set of skills, Cara navigates various therapeutic modalities based on her clients' requirements, blending psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques to facilitate symptom relief and explore the roots of their concerns. She is adept at addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, personal growth, ineffective patterns, self-esteem, trauma, and women’s issues. In her sessions, Cara fosters a therapeutic environment that encourages healing and growth through specialized skills and a collaborative partnership.
