“I went to Cara for a virtual visit and I could not recommend her enough. Cara is caring, professional and able to offer valuable, practical advice which has had a big impact on my day to day life. Therapy is a process but it feels good to know that I am heard, understood and there is the help available to get me through tough situations. ”

Getting to know Cara Carleton
I am a seasoned psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from New York University, passionate about helping people accept, understand, and cherish their authentic selves.
My clients include adults of all ages as well as older adolescents, and my professional focus is on those who struggle with self-destructive behaviors, drug and alcohol misuse, and non-mainstream sexuality.
It is crucial for my practice that each of my clients feels understood, accepted, and cared for.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I do my best work with clients who are curious about themselves and looking for a collaborative relationship. It is important to me to check in regularly about what is working and what is not. I am very receptive to feedback and intentional about tailoring therapeutic techniques to suit individual needs. Some of my strengths include my ability to facilitate motivation and readiness for change, my knowledge of and nonjudgmental approach to addictive behaviors, and capacity to draw upon clients’ innate strengths. It is a privilege to be trusted with people’s innermost thoughts and feelings. As such, I approach therapeutic relationships from a place of genuine caring and thoughtful attention both in and outside of session.
