Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

IF YOU FOUND MY PROFILE, YOU LIKELY DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU...

Healing from trauma, anxiety, or a nervous system stuck in survival mode is going to take more than a therapist who just smiles, nods, and passes a tissue week after week while you talk in circles.

​The very fact that your search results landed you on this exact profile isn’t random.. It means you’re aching for real help with the heavy stuff—Trauma, Anxiety and a Nervous System that feels constantly fried every single week, people take to my "couch" because, when it comes to their painful past, they refuse to accept that they "Just have to learn to live" with what happened to them.

Fortunately, that's a LIE.

​What is unfortunate, is that standard therapy schooling often skims over the deep complexities of PTSD, C-PTSD, and severe anxiety disorders- Let alone teach the modalities to effectively treat it.

In fact, well-meaning professionals can unknowingly cause people to take steps backward instead of forward.

The science is clear: true healing from these issues requires specialized, heavy-hitting approaches.

These are the approaches I am closely trained in as an ADVANCED CLINICAL CERTIFIED TRAUMA SPECIALIST.

​Sometimes people wonder, "Whoa. Wait. Maybe the experiences causing me distress aren't 'big' enough for these sophisticated treatments?" My answer to that is simple: Your nervous system doesn’t possess a tape measure, and it doesn't read history books. It doesn't care if your past looks like a Hollywood movie or a quiet, slow-burning ache. If a memory, a relationship, or an old wound is keeping you stuck in survival mode today, it is big enough.

You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.

Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.

Hi, I’m Kara Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, and the founder of Unfiltered Clinical Services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex life stressors, trauma, and system involvement, including those connected to the legal or forensic system.

My approach to therapy is real, direct, and grounded in clinical expertise. I create a space where you don’t have to filter your experiences, we work through them together with honesty, structure, and intention. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, I help you build insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies that actually translate into your daily life.

In addition to therapy, I also provide forensic-focused services, including competency-related support and evaluations. My background in correctional and forensic mental health allows me to understand the intersection between mental health and the legal system, and I bring that perspective into both my clinical and evaluative work.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and working with high-acuity populations. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more aligned with the life you’re trying to build.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, I’m here for that work.

I am a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in trauma-informed care. I support individuals in building self-determination and addressing maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.
