Jaime Cara, LMHCA
Psychotherapist
Are you functioning well on the surface but struggling with feeling too much, too sensitive, or misunderstood? Are existential questions or a major life change proving difficult to navigate alone? Maybe a sense of overwhelm lingers quietly in the background of your daily life.Whether you're dealing with anxiety, loss, navigating a new chapter in life, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I am here to support you. Together, we can work towards meaningful growth in a way that honors your needs, hopes, and values.
As a therapist, I see myself as a supportive guide and witness who walks alongside you as you reconnect with your authentic self and learn to trust your inner wisdom. Life can feel complex and heavy, and having a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted can make all the difference.
At the heart of my work is a strong therapeutic relationship and a warm, non-pathologizing environment for deep personal exploration. I approach therapy collaboratively, aiming to offer care that is attuned, flexible, and grounded in what matters most to you. Through a holistic lens, we’ll focus on increasing self-awareness, recognizing patterns with curiosity, and strengthening emotional flexibility.
My approach is integrative and draws from relational, existential, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic, and systemic frameworks. Rather than adhering to rigid models, I allow these perspectives to guide our work in a way that evolves with you. I am deeply committed to self-compassion and emotional integration, believing that therapy should reflect your uniqueness. I see therapy as a space for growth, where you won’t be confined by labels or rigid frameworks.
Ultimately, I want you to feel at ease being fully yourself in our work together. Whether that means showing up wrapped in your favorite blanket, sharing a meaningful song or poem, or leaning into creative expression, your comfort and well-being come first.
Seeking therapy takes courage, and I would love to connect with you! Message me to set up a complimentary 20-minute consultation.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
