Getting to know Kara Goralski

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life's challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anger management difficulties, behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related issues, and self-esteem challenges. I enjoy helping others better understand their emotions, manage challenges, and feel more confident in their day-to-day lives. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Whether working with a child struggling in school, a teen managing overwhelming emotions, or an adult working through past trauma, I focus on building practical skills that promote emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence. I utilize evidence-based strategies such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed care, and social-emotional skill building to help clients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also collaborate closely with families, schools, and other support systems when appropriate to ensure a well-rounded approach to care. My goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to manage challenges effectively, build stronger relationships, and feel more confident in themselves and their abilities.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
