“Kara is amazing! She is warm and friendly without sacrificing professionalism or honesty. She uses a somatic-informed approach, which is new for me, but it's been surprisingly helpful! She's also extremely empathetic and is able to guide me through talking about difficult subjects with patience, care, and sometimes even humor. I tried out 4 or 5 different therapists before landing on Kara, and I'm so grateful I found her. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

“I found Kara at time when I was really struggling. Right away our first meeting was warm and open and I felt like I could really trust her with the deep grief I was moving through. When my schedule with work was challenging she found times that worked for us both and made me feel like therapy was accessible and easy at at time when everything was hard. I can't express how much that service alone saved me, not to mention the care and insight provided in all of our sessions. I am looking forward to moving out of crisis mode with Kara and moving towards more deep healing and connecting with my all my parts in our sessions to come. I am so grateful to have her. ”

Getting to know Kara Araujo
I am a warm, relational, trauma-informed therapist who helps adults move through pain, rebuild self-trust, and create lives that feel more grounded and meaningful. I integrate parts work, somatic therapy, and relational psychodynamic approaches.
My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that don’t serve them, or disconnected from themselves and others. Together, we work toward greater calm, clarity, confidence, and connection in daily life. I have particular experience with anxiety, trauma, OCD, chronic pain, and the long-term effects of growing up in emotionally chaotic or neglectful environments.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe every part of you makes sense, and therapy is a space to understand your experiences with compassion rather than judgment. I take an active, collaborative approach that moves at your pace while keeping your goals in view.
Over time, clients often notice measurable shifts: feeling less anxious or reactive, reducing shame and self-criticism, improving boundaries and communication, and experiencing more ease and authenticity in relationships.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We look at thoughts, emotions, and body-based patterns so that change becomes something you can feel, not just think about. Clients commonly experience less internal conflict, more emotional regulation, clearer boundaries, and a greater sense of choice and stability.

Kara is a godsend! From our first session things just clicked. Talking to her is effortless and I really am so grateful for having her!

Working with Kara has been life-changing. When I first came to her, I had already spent over a decade in therapy but still felt stuck. Through our work together, she’s helped me reconnect with my body, process trauma, and release layers of guilt and shame so I can finally step into the person I want to be. Kara’s warmth and presence make me feel truly seen, and I’m endlessly grateful for her guidance.
