Kara Elliott, LMFT, LPC

About me

I am licensed in Oregon with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, bipolar disorder, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I love to incorporate integrative tools as expressive arts therapy, DBT tools and mindfulness and movement that may help you with challenges beyond talk therapy. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
