Kara Nossardi, MA, MFT

History

My work in Psychotherapy has strong roots in my lifelong commitment to helping others heal, grow, and thrive. I bring to my practice extensive experience as a psychotherapist, college professor, and school counselor. I completed my graduate work in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and my EMDR training from the Sonoma Psychotherapy Institute. I am licensed by the California Board of Behavior Sciences as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and am a member of the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). I offer psychotherapy services and EMDR therapy in both Spanish and English.

Specialties

As a Psychotherapist, I am passionate about supporting my clients in finding balance and ease in all aspects of their lives. I work with individuals of all ages to help explore the inner landscape of their experience, and to identify and address obstacles that prevent them from engaging in life more fully. The focus of my work with clients is to facilitate a move through the stressors of past and present, to eliminate what is no longer useful, and to focus on all that is promising and possible. Through traditional talk therapy and EMDR therapy, I work with clients in the treatment of the following... Trauma and PTSD Depression Relationship Issues Anger Management Anxiety and Panic Attacks Child & Adolescent Behavioral Issues Self-Esteem & Emotional Disturbances Parenting & Family Conflict
