Cara Donahue, MA, LCSW, LICSW, Counseling Connected, LLC

Sometimes, it feels like life happens to us not with us. Hard-won accomplishments can still leave us unsatisfied. Our relationships may feel out of balance, more duty than joy. Internal struggles and the major and minor transitions in life can unmoor the steadiest of us; leave us wrestling with intense, unnerving emotions, uncomfortable questions, and a need to make meaning of it all. Changing relationships and circumstances can trigger states of uncertainty, despair and pain. Having a dedicated and compassionate facilitator to navigate with you through your process can bring tremendous benefit. I hope to be that facilitator helping you to tap into your own wisdom, in order to live a more fulfilled and satisfying life. Using a holistic, strengths-based approach, I help clients to overcome the conscious and unconscious blocks (including self-judgment and unhelpful beliefs), that inhibit healing and transformation. I will remind you as often as needed that you are more than enough. My promise is to meet you where you are and help you to cultivate hope and healing through gentle inquiry into the past and present, skill-building, and the use of a variety of strategies. I look forward to working and practicing together to cultivate hope and healing.
