Kara Haney, LMFT Intern
I believe that everyone deserves access to a life that functions with more ease and enjoyment.
My counseling style is collaborative, curiosity-driven, warm, and compassionate. I am a client-centered therapist who believes people are the experts of their life stories. I want us to collaboratively draw and build upon the strengths in your life by integrating your beliefs, values, and resources into our counseling work to help us achieve your goals. Our work together is about and for you; I will regularly seek feedback from you to determine what counseling approaches feel helpful and which don’t, if there should be any changes to our treatment goals or pace of therapy, and if any other changes need to be made to make counseling a more beneficial experience.
I am a systems thinker and believe people are impacted by the intersection systems that surround them, from family dynamics and patterns to societal roles and oppression. These larger structures affect how we think about ourselves, how we function in relationships, and how we move through the world. I believe that by working together to address how these larger systems are impact us we can better navigate through the challenges and de-emphasize the power these systems can play in our lives on our journey to healing.
I take an integrative approach to therapy that draws on Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused therapy. I am also a Gottman informed therapist and have completed my level two certification in Gottman Therapy. I have nearly two decades of experience as a massage and craniosacral therapist. I believe connecting our words and emotions to our body sensations can create new avenues for growth and healing, and I regularly incorporate my somatic knowledge into my counseling practice.
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Couples and Family Therapy through Antioch University. I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology from Manchester College in Indiana. My professional background is working with adults and children who are differently-abled and/or neurodiverse; as well as my career as a massage therapist.
I work with individual adults, children, family groups, couples and other relationship configurations. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, non-monogamy affirming, and sex and body positive therapist.
I am truly honored to accompany you on your counseling journey.
