About Kara Holmes Araujo

Symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, etc.), often arise when we are struggling to be with—truly see, explore, and accept—difficult aspects of our lives or our pasts and the painful feelings they bring. It’s common to lack this capacity—we weren’t meant to do this alone. Many of us haven’t received the support we need to hold life’s pain. I bring the capacity to help you contain and explore your feelings and inner experiences and the expertise to help you understand and organize your inner world. Together, we will make sense of what has happened to you and what you’re currently going through. We do this together, but the expanded capacity and coherency stays with you beyond our sessions. I will reflect back to you the truth and beauty of who you are and help you access your unique essence more clearly and fully. When we can sense ourselves, make sense to ourselves, understand our experiences, and when feelings no longer overwhelm us, we can move forward in life with confidence knowing we can not only withstand the full human experience, we can revel in it. Because we can feel more, we are more present. We learn we can face life on life’s terms. Symptoms slowly recede because they’re no longer needed. We get to really live.
