Kara Araujo
Introduction
I help adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, rumination, panic, depression, trauma (C-PTSD/PTSD), ADHD, and chronic pain (like headaches or back pain) find relief and reconnect with themselves. Many of my clients grew up with emotionally immature, critical, neglectful, or self-involved parents, feel pressure to be perfect or “good,” and are outwardly successful but inwardly suffering. I also specialize in therapy for narcissistic abuse, codependency, relationship anxiety/R-OCD, relationship trauma, and recovery from high-control or religious environments. With warmth and presence, I’ll meet you in the places that feel hardest to be. When we can hold what’s inside with compassion instead of fear, the body and nervous system begin to settle. This work gently reshapes how you relate to yourself, others, and life itself—allowing ease, connection, and aliveness to take root. Reaching out to a new therapist can feel daunting—sharing personal details with a stranger takes courage. You can trust that I’ll meet you with warmth, understanding, and genuine care. I offer complimentary extended consultations so we can get to know each other and ensure a good fit before beginning our work. I’d be honored to connect.
