Kara Ebert, LMFT, PMH-C, CCTP

I've dedicated a career (and a whole lot of bookshelf space) towards cultivating a deep and specialized understanding of the experiences of anxiety, grief and trauma.

My name is pronounced Kara (care-a, not car-a; though if I’m being honest I’ll answer to either) and my pronouns are she/her. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), have a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I work with adult (18+) individuals, couples, and families specializing in grief/loss, trauma, and anxiety.

Through education, training, life experience, a whole lot of reading, and having been a client in therapy myself, I am passionate about and believe in the process of therapy. My goal for clients is for them to align their head and heart, feel empowered to make changes that help them feel better, and to learn more about themselves in the process. I love reading and collecting resources that may be helpful - I enjoy recommending videos, articles, and books to people I work with.

If I could no longer work as a therapist, I would pursue a job doing something else I love. Cooking, decorating, gardening, organizing, … maybe combine all of those things and plan weddings?

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I graduated with my Bachelors in Human Service Management from St. Cloud State University/University of Phoenix and my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University. I have been working as a licensed therapist since 2016 and have been in private practice since 2014.

If you read this far, I’m hopeful it feels like time well spent and you either feel more confident about the idea of working together, or have a feel that I am not the right fit for you (trust your gut!).
