Getting to know Kara Ranes

Hello, I'm Kara Ranes, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 17 years of experience working in mental health. I received my master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in 2009, and recently enrolled in a doctoral degree program in Clinical Psychology. I use a person-centered approach in therapy, viewing you as the expert. I seek to understand and hold space for you to explore the issues bringing you to therapy. My empathic, personable nature allows me to connect with various personality types. I take a multicultural approach to my work with clients, respecting and incorporating cultural variables into the therapeutic process and treatment goals. My go-to treatment models are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), but also integrate aspects of additional models such as solution-focused therapy, family systems therapy, and narrative therapy.

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.
