Kara S. Posner, M.Ed.

More than just talk; counseling is about expressing yourself and being heard. It is also about having your story understood. As a counselor, I listen, and understand what you want to accomplish in therapy. I will use my skills, training and experience to help you accomplish your goals. I am more than just a good listener. In our counseling sessions I will hear you. I will listen as you share your story. Together we will observe and discuss connections, patterns, and habits that may be interfering with your goals.

I will also help to you recognize your strengths. We will figure out how to use your strengths to work through present challenges and how to continue building on them for your future resiliency.

I have a history of working with clients who are living with depression, bi-polar disorder, addiction, severe medical diagnoses, and psychosis. I have helped my clients through grief, job and family conflicts, transitions and stagnation. My clients have represented many different cultural, socio-economic and sexual orientations. My approach has been described as non-judgmental, respectful, compassionate yet focused, supportive and on-task.

Please contact me if you need help working through a difficult transition, adjustment or assimilation.
