Caralee Crary approaches therapy with the belief that people move through life stages to learn and sometimes re-learn important lessons. She partners with clients to increase self-awareness, develop insight, and build practical skills for managing life challenges, framing the work as a collaborative effort aimed at achieving each person’s goals.

With 20 years of clinical experience, she provides care for adult couples navigating relationship struggles, communication difficulties, and changing life rhythms across all stages. She also works with children and teens to address social, emotional, educational, and family system concerns, and supports adults who are clarifying and pursuing goals related to education, work, independence, self-esteem, and healthier relationships.

Her formal training is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and object relations, complemented by specialized cognitive-behavioral training completed at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado. This combination allows her to attend to both observable thoughts and behaviors and deeper emotional patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others.

Caralee uses an intuitive, collaborative approach, offering constructive feedback while honoring each personâs pace of growth and change. She creates a nonjudgmental place to explore topics that can feel difficult to address, helping clients identify direction and build the skills they need to move forward.

She holds two masterâs degrees and professional counseling credentials, and she is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. Personal experience with major life events has informed her capacity to empathize and guide others through psychological growth. She is married with two children and enjoys reading, gardening, music, yoga or walking, nature, and films.
