Interpersonal Therapists in Waxhaw, NC

My passion is helping those impacted by interpersonal trauma to begin healing towards recovery & wholeness. Those affected by traumatic events know the sense of grief, loss, shame, embarrassment, & judgment these issues often bring. I believe that unresolved traumas from negative life experiences are the primary source of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship & self-esteem challenges, interpersonal conflict, & identity issues. My approach is one of compassion, strength, integrity, & authenticity. I offer a calm nonjudgmental environment for clients to develop courage & discover their resilience to heal & thrive.

Therapy is a place where you are free to be yourself and feel empowered to make changes in your life to improve your overall wellbeing. I have been in the mental health field for several years and specialize in working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I also work to help resolve family conflict (communication strategies and boundary setting skills). I have a direct approach to therapy and use humor when appropriate to help lighten the conversation. I mainly use CBT through our sessions as I've found it offers a large variety of skills that are easy to implement in your daily life.

I’m Dr. Kara Mil and I believe in the inherent worth and potential of every individual. My approach to healing is grounded in the principles of humanistic therapy, where empathy, genuine understanding, and unconditional positive regard are the cornerstones of our work together. Life can sometimes make us feel misunderstood, isolated, or unheard. These feelings can stem from various experiences—whether it's from our relationships, our past, or simply the challenges of daily life. In our therapeutic journey, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions.

My clinical interests have grown from general therapy issues into more niche areas such as couples, anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors, career, grief, chronic pain, substance abuse, self-injurious behaviors, personality disorders, trauma, and faith-based issues. I have also expanded into psychological testing ranging from personality, differential diagnosis, pre-surgical screening (e.g., spinal cord stimulator implants, bariatric), and cognitive assessments. My experience also includes training medical residents, supervision of masters/doctoral students, consulting, and teaching at a collegiate level.

I became interested in psychotherapy in my young adult years, as I searched for meaning in life. With a primary interest in medicine, I knew that my ultimate goal was to help others. It was during my own personal experience with therapy (as a client) that I came to really value relationships with people and the power of the psychotherapy space. I believe that transformative change occurs simply by genuinely existing with another person.

My ideal client has been through a lot, and who has been relatively resilient in the face of challenges.

You’re always exhausted. The alarm clock buzzes, and you struggle to open your eyes. The blanket feels like it’s made of lead as you attempt to get out of bed. It’s the same every morning, and things only worsen from there. You sleepwalk through each day in a thick, hazy fog. You’re not fully present, but you go through the motions because you’re supposed to. It’s getting difficult to remember a time when you actually felt good, and you can’t imagine ever feeling happy again. You've tried fixing your problems, but no solution lasts for long. You know that something needs to change, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless!

I believe that individuals hold the key to solving life’s issues but sometimes need the assistance of others to help pull out those strengths and provide support along the way; I have a passion for supporting clients on this journey of self-awareness and growth. I firmly believe that we do not have to face life alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength, showing one’s desire to make a change. Not only is this a strength but it also supports the movement towards breaking down the stigma that exists around seeing a counselor. As a therapeutic presence can be the most beneficial healing tool, I strive to be just that for clients
