STATEMENT FROM KARA NOSSARDI, MFT
Success in psychotherapy is based on expectations and goals set forth in treatment, on the connection we make with clients, on the therapist’s ability to deal with ambiguity, on using evidence-based practices and on asking at end if the session helped. It is not the absence of problems that concerns me, but more importantly it is how we respond to them because life is full of problems. I am firmly committed to working closely with all clients helping them achieve long-lasting change by using efficient, effective, and empirically-supported treatments.
I believe strongly in the capacity for change, and I use a collaborative approach to reach short and long-term goals. I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy and family & couples therapy, which are treatments focused on developing new, healthier coping skills and improved relationships. Within each therapy session, we target the problematic thoughts, behavioral patterns, emotions, interactions, conflicts, that are keeping you stuck and unfulfilled.

EMDR THERAPY
Past events, traumatic or otherwise disturbing, can remain ‘trapped’ in your body, in your mind, and in your daily experiences. This unprocessed information is often triggered by a variety of present day situations and can result in unwanted feelings, beliefs, and physical reactions or symptoms. EMDR therapy can provide you powerful and lasting relief….
MEET KARA NOSSARDI, MFT
As a Psychotherapist, I am passionate about supporting my clients in finding balance and ease in all aspects of their lives. I am knowledgeable, compassionate, and honoring of my clients’ unique experiences. I work with individuals of all ages to help them identify and address obstacles that prevent them from engaging in life more fully.
The focus of my work with clients is to address past and present problems, to eliminate what is no longer useful, and to focus on all that is promising and possible.
