Karina Bahr's Passion
Let’s Be Real—Life Can Be Hard.
Hi, I’m Karina! First things first, I know reaching out to a therapist can feel a little awkward. You’re essentially signing up to tell a complete stranger about the things you might not even want to admit to yourself. Sounds fun, right?
But here’s the thing—I don’t believe therapy has to feel stiff, uncomfortable, or overly serious. I’m a real person who happens to be a therapist. I love a good laugh, appreciate honesty, and believe some of the best conversations happen when we can just be ourselves.
You Remain in Control
I’m not the kind of therapist who expects you to walk in knowing exactly what to say or what you want to work on. Some days we’ll dig into the hard stuff. Other days, you might just need a space to vent, sort through your thoughts, or figure out why something that seems so small feels so big. All of that is okay.
I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, major life changes, or just feeling a little lost, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being exactly who you are.
Collaborative & Individualized Experience
I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in forcing everyone into the same approach. What works for one person might not work for another, and that’s why I want you to have a say in how we work together.
I won’t pretend to have all the answers, and I’m definitely not here to tell you how to live your life. What I can offer is a genuine connection, a fresh perspective, a little humor when it’s appropriate, and someone who’s willing to sit with you through the uncomfortable parts
