Getting to know Kara Elliott

Hi there, I'm Kara! I am a licensed LPC and LMFT in Oregon with over 9 years of counseling experience. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from National University and am an expressive arts therapist dedicated to supporting individuals like you in achieving balance and well-being. My approach I believe you are the expert of your story and have strengths to overcome challenges. Healing is most effective when addressing all aspects of life—emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. I incorporate integrative tools like expressive arts therapy (writing, drawing, painting, movement, yoga, sound, psychodrama, mindfulness) alongside behavioral and cognitive tools that support you beyond traditional talk therapy. My focus I work with clients to explore unique challenges, set intentional goals, and uncover deep-rooted patterns affecting wellness. I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, social phobias, grief and loss, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, bipolar disorder, autism, depression, and more. My communication style Taking the first step toward a happier life takes courage. I support you in that process. Whether navigating life transitions, emotional or physical challenges, or seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space for your journey toward holistic healing and empowerment. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up in a small mountain town, practicing life by chopping wood and carrying water, I’ve learned to take the road less traveled—it has made all the difference. Nature and life are beautiful but sometimes unforgiving; I’ve learned to accept humor instead of rumor, and to be curious rather than furious.
