Getting to know Cara Guderian

If you’re exhausted from always holding it together, you’re not alone. Life is HARD! Maybe you're used to putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Maybe perfectionism has been your armor, even though it’s left you anxious, burned out, or feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself. You’ve done your best to push through but now you’re ready for something deeper. That’s where I come in. I specialize in EMDR therapy to help you untangle long-standing beliefs, patterns, and emotional wounds that are still shaping how you show up in your life. This work is powerful and even transformative. I’ve seen it in others, and I’ve experienced it myself. With a grounded, compassionate approach (and a little humor when it helps), I offer a space where you can be real, feel understood, and finally begin to heal in a way that lasts.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take an integrative, multi-modal approach to therapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to meet each client’s unique needs. I also incorporate EMDR when appropriate to support deeper healing and resolution. My focus is on clinical flexibility to ensure that therapy aligns with your goals and experiences.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You’re here because you’re ready to feel better, even if you’re not sure where to start. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and tools that truly help. Together, we’ll untangle what’s been holding you back and create a path toward healing, strength, and lasting change. I know finding the right therapist can be difficult. You will get the most out of therapy if you feel like your therapist is invested in you and your growth. It should be someone you feel comfortable with and truly understood by. A consultation is the best way to determine if I’m that person for you. I’ll answer your questions, share a little more about how I work, and you can decide if we’re a good fit. If I’m not the best person for you, I’ll always connect you with someone who might be better suited to your needs.
