Cara Kalakewich

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Pennsylvania with over 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I take a nurturing and affirming approach to validate one’s experiences and perspective; and we will work together to shift that perspective where needed.
I strive to take a collaborative approach in treatment identifying all aspects of one’s life e.g. family, religious background, relationships, career, and overall beliefs and values in order to challenge clients to look at all pillars in their lives to see where and if change needs to occur.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with their therapist in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals provide these services, and if the fit is not right, it is possible to switch to a different therapist. Online therapy can offer a convenient way to access professional support while maintaining the same focus on personal growth and problem solving as in-person care.
