Through trauma- and attachment-informed therapeutic work, we can come to better trust ourselves and begin to heal from painful experiences in a way that nurtures self-compassion and prioritizes client empowerment and consent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f42ff11c951f24569b2208c/1622165373640-Z7FMESCM048DQGI8QMCJ/unsplash-image-aMPfitH2tT0.jpg Specialties - Neurodivergence Autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and other types of neurodivergence are natural parts of human diversity that deserve to be celebrated and accepted, not hidden or “fixed.” Neurodivergent individuals have unique strengths and challenges in navigating their mental health and deserve competent, affirming care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f42ff11c951f24569b2208c/1622163237750-SYQY7VX4EHTRA73EBGGX/unsplash-image-i7Gsewn-koA.jpg Specialties - Chronic Illness & Disability Chronic illness and disability can be exhausting enough to manage on their own, but navigating the world while often misunderstood and under-supported by medical providers, employers, schools, and peers can make it hard to maintain our mental health. There is space for you to embrace your disabled identity while also coping with the parts that can make life difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f42ff11c951f24569b2208c/1622163324968-HUIQQKV80AP65CLI6CT1/unsplash-image-bbjmFMdWYfw.jpg Specialties - Body Neutrality Our relationships with our bodies can often be complicated and can sometimes feel exhausting. Not only are we constantly surrounded by reminders that our bodies aren’t good enough, we’re also simultaneously shamed for not feeling positive or accepting enough of our bodies. You deserve to make peace with your body and yourself. https://www.caraduchene.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-24 https://www.caraduchene.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f42ff11c951f24569b2208c/1621294090089-T28SQ2EAYCWVYJ22CCKE/profpics+bestretouched.jpg About - About Cara I’m a counselor, advocate, and educator with a passion for providing affirming and client-directed care. In my work as a clinician, I prioritize transparency, authenticity, and mutual trust. Each session is customized to the needs of my client in the moment and feedback is actively sought and valued. I’m here to support you in whatever you decide you might need from a therapeutic space, and look forward to joining you as a partner in your journey towards improved wellbeing. I believe that advocacy and social justice are an integral part of mental healthcare. Acknowledging systemic inequalities and their impact is part of my work with every client. I aim to provide culturally competent care and to be conscious of clients’ salient identities and their intersection with mental health. https://www.caraduchene.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Testimonials https://www.caraduchene.com/consultations daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.caraduchene.com/services daily 0.75 2022-08-02
