KARA MARINO, LPC
OWNER & THERAPIST
Hi! I’m Kara—I’m a therapist, mom, wife, and business owner who knows what it’s like to juggle life’s many roles while trying to stay sane. I’ve personally navigated ADHD, postpartum challenges, anxiety, and the ups and downs of balancing work and family, which gives me a deep empathy for the struggles my clients face.
I specialize in supporting adults with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and the challenges of motherhood, helping people find practical strategies, emotional support, and a sense of balance. My goal is to be a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows, work through challenges, and celebrate breakthroughs. I’m here to guide, support, and challenge you, with the belief that no matter how deep the valley, there’s always a peak in sight.
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me sipping coffee, blasting Taylor Swift, traveling, binge-watching my favorite shows, or spending time with family and friends.
