Getting to know Cara Durfee

In my 16 years in the mental health field, I have worked with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, trauma, men’s issues, career burnout, physical pain/emotional causes, sexual trauma/trafficking, grief and loss, relationship issues, and faith transitions. I have done this in settings such as residential treatment, emergency rooms, and outpatient clinics. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. My advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (an eye movement therapy) creates significant breakthroughs for my clients. They see results fairly quickly, and the changes are lasting. I love working with high-performing individuals experiencing burnout in their career or family life. I understand the demands of the executive world, having worked in leadership roles such as COO and CCO, while balancing relationships. I know the way through and can help guide you toward a life of more balance and freedom. Are you ready to get off the hamster wheel? My experience in Emotionally Focused Therapy provides couples with a clear roadmap for securing bonding within their relationships. In a session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel at ease. I listen attentively, creating a safe space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I provide unwavering support and encouragement to help you navigate difficult emotions and overcome obstacles with confidence. As you progress, you will notice shifts in self-awareness and personal growth, leading to empowerment and healing. Your journey with me is not just about addressing immediate concerns; it’s about fostering long-term resilience and well-being, giving you renewed hope and a clearer vision for your future. Outside of work, I enjoy working out, camping, hiking, boating, skiing, and spending time outdoors.
