Cara Kalakewich

Hello! I am Cara Kalakewich, licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I am so happy that you are taking this first step in your journey to overall wellness! I have over 10 years experience working with individuals, families and couples.

My background includes education from Penn State University and Seton Hill University. Previously I’ve worked in various settings: homes, schools, office settings, facilities, and telehealth. My areas of specialties include: trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+, family conflict, parenting, couples issues: sex, infidelity, communication, trust etc., self esteem, Grief and loss, addictions, career/life balance, and motivation.

I use a dynamic and eclectic approach when working with clients. I am nurturing, loving and supportive while also challenging constructively where needed. I incorporate systemic theory, multiculturalism aspects, values, beliefs, identity, and experiences to formulate a specific plan to address presenting concerns. Theoretical modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and I am currently enrolled with The Gottman Institute for a special focus in couples work.

I look forward to working with you soon! Let’s embark on this journey together!
