See what our patients are saying about Kara Guevara

Kara is THE ABSOLUTE BEST therapist I have ever worked with, no doubt in my mind. I am a mental health therapist myself, so finding my own therapist to work with who really understands the dynamics and complexities of being a provider is essential to me. Kara embodies every trait and aspect of what an incredible therapist is. She is kind, compassionate, clear and direct when needed, and truly one of my biggest supports. I would not think twice about recommending Kara to any friend, family member, or colleague if they were searching for a therapist. Thank you Kara for your endless support and encouragement!
