“Kara Hade was absolutely wonderful. Kara offered a free 15 minute consultation which ended up being about 30 minutes and in just that short time I feel like we were able to target some key areas that will be crucial for recovery. As an adult I am new to therapy and Kara was more than helpful and said some things that made me immediately confident in moving forward with her. I’ve found that finding the right therapist can be challenging but Kara Hade made it easy and comfortable to make a decision!”

Getting to know Kara Hade
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, coparents and families, meeting each client where they are on their journey toward better mental health. With a background in counseling psychology, school counseling, and education, I bring a well-rounded perspective to my practice.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by providing a safe, supportive space to share their stories. I believe that healing begins with processing past experiences, letting go of unhealthy habits, and developing new coping skills. By fostering self-awareness and encouraging healthier choices, I empower my clients.
I provide person-centered, trauma-informed counseling in a supportive, healing environment. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, OCD, ASD, ADHD, relationship challenges, divorce, and self-esteem issues. Through collaboration, active listening, and unconditional positive regard, I help clients feel heard, valued, and supported.
You deserve to be heard, to find clarity, and to become the best version of yourself. A fulfilling life awaits, and the best is yet to come.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I use a combination of person-centered therapy, strength-based, solution focused and cognitive behavior therapy during sessions. I like to begin by exploring the client's experiences and what insights they have gained based on their past experiences. However, if I observe that a client is engaging in distorted thinking, for example, we will work on reframing their thoughts using CBT.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work with clients who may be having relationship issues, suffering from ADD, anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. During sessions, we will dive deep into the issues at hand and collaborate on the best way forward to help you feel supported, solve your issues and enjoy life to the fullest. Most of my clients begin to notice improvement within the first month of therapy.

My experience with Kara has been great. She’s very attentive, easy to talk to, and really takes the time to listen and understand what I’m going through. I also appreciate how responsive she is whenever I need a resource or extra support she always follows up and makes sure I have what I need. I truly feel supported and heard in every session. Highly recommend!
