Kara Lorenz

My communication style

I provide a comfortable space that is non-judgmental and safe. I value my therapeutic relationships and aim to be direct while also being respectful. My style is reflective and inquisitive to help you learn about yourself. I believe communication is key to all healthy relationships, and I hope to model that throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been passionate about mental health and helping people learn about their patterns, strengths, and goals. I believe therapy can be a helpful tool to process life's challenges in ways that allow us to grow. As humans, we all have experiences and emotions that can make life difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone.

My goals for you

I work with you collaboratively to identify goals that are personal to you. Together, we'll discuss those goals and their importance, the pace at which you feel comfortable moving through them, and the ideal length of treatment. I utilize a SMART approach that ensures goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll introduce myself and provide a comfortable space through establishing connection and building trust. This is an opportunity to learn what's bringing you to therapy, how you've been feeling, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. Please ask questions and get to know me to ensure we're a good fit.
