Kara Moore

Limited Licensed Master Social Worker

I enjoy working with couples and individuals who may be experiencing problems in their relationships. Relationship and family dynamics offer a significant number of opportunities for tension and conflict, thus leading to a need for an unbiased third party to lead discussions in a healthy and healing manner. I believe that communication is the basis for most problems in any relationship. My ideal clients recognize that they need guidance, are ready to be vulnerable with their partner, and want help to build healthier relationships.

I have experience working in all stages of a relationship: dating, premarital, marriage, and divorce.

Money, trust, and parenting are the biggest topics for couples to disagree on. Our current issues are a reflection of our past traumas, so whether you show up as one part of a relationship or all parties are present, I will work with you to heal those traumas, so that you can better communicate and understand your partner.

As humans, we are always learning how to grow, thus we will never be perfect.. I would like to offer my empathy and respect for anyone searching for a compassionate therapist to help in moving forward with whatever life event you may need to work through. No judgement, I am here to help!
