About us

Meet Your Therapist

My name is Kara Cooper and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals, couples and families through times of stress and uncertainty. I can help address concerns such as depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. In addition to integrating The Gottman Method into my work with couples, I am also a Gottman Bringing Baby Home Educator and can help couples build and maintain relationship satisfaction as they transition to parenthood.

A significant portion of my practice focuses on individuals and couples with issues related to reproductive mental health including infertility, miscarriage and infant loss, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, IVF, adoption, and third-party reproduction. Counseling from a place of personal experience, including a difficult journey to motherhood, I understand the profound impact that life’s hardships can have. I understand that taking the first step in seeking mental health treatment can be overwhelming and courageous. I am here to walk alongside you through times of uncertainty.

Services

  • Individual Therapy

    Individual therapy focuses on whatever brought you to us. Therapists use their particular therapeutic style and personality to care for you and help you understand yourself better so that you may feel more cared for and understood outside of therapy.

  • Couples Therapy

    Couples therapy is depth-oriented with the aim of understanding each person’s history to better target the negative patterns that may arise. We explore your relationship's foundations and current patterns so that you may have a fulfilling, connected partnership.

  • Child & Teen Therapy

    Child and teen therapy offers a supportive space to address the unique mental, behavioral, and emotional challenges young people face in today’s challenging world. It helps children and teens build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop coping strategies. Therapy involves parents, equipping them with tools to support their child’s growth and well-being at home.

  • Family Therapy

    Family Therapy offers a supportive and collaborative environment where family members can address concerns, gain understanding, and work towards positive change. With the help of a therapist, families can develop practical strategies for managing disagreements, turning conflicts into opportunities for growth and understanding, while building a sense of trust and connection. 

  • Group Therapy

    Relationships are guiding forces in our lives, yet we often feel alone or limited in them. Groups provide a space to be with others with similar struggles. You can learn more about our group offerings HERE.

  • Telehealth Therapy

    Telehealth therapy (online therapy) is available for individuals, couples, and families in an effort to provide services to individuals who do not have the flexibility to come into the office. These services are provided through a secure video platform with a link sent directly via email.
