Hi, I’m Cara Lewis, a passionate individual who strongly believes in your potential to create fulfilling relationships with others and a healthy and loving relationship with yourself. I began my career in education many years ago and my appreciation for education can be seen in my work. I believe it is through emotional education and the therapeutic process that we gain deeper self awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. We can create new stories, new beliefs and new patterns that better serve us and we can learn effective relational skills. All of those combined work to enhance our ability to live the life we desire.

Trauma has impacted every relationship in your life. You have struggled to connect with others around you and you feel like it’s your fault, like there is something wrong with you. You’re often angry, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, sad and frequently shut down and disconnected. You know you can’t keep living like this, but you don’t know where to turn. You feel like you’re the only person experiencing your struggles, but you’re not! While it’s often hard to ask for help or to even know how, therapy can be enormously helpful and gratifying.

I strive to deliver compassionate counseling with sincere dedication to service, and to do so as efficiently as possible in order to help alleviate stress and anxiety, and encourage emotional independence. My practice is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). REBT, the pioneering form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps people to challenge and replace self-defeating beliefs with healthier alternatives. REBT is generally shorter-term, solution-focused, and present-centered which makes it an amazing choice for those who not only wish to FEEL better, but to GET better.

You are not alone. I am here to help you build a happier and more fulfilling life. I know it takes courage to reach out to a complete stranger, but let me assure you that I won't seem like a stranger after the first few minutes.

My clients are looking to get out of their own way relationally and in life. They accept the responsibility that all good relationships occur within the space of self regulation and full respect living. Healthy relationships are demanding of our time. Working with me clients learn a lot about their own power to influence their lives and the environment in which they live. Our relationships, whether with ourselves or others, are the most important driving force in our lives for long term happiness and life satisfaction. Harvard Study of 2017 " Good Relationships influence the outcome of our health, wealth, happiness and longevity."
