About Me

---

I’m Kara Gentry, a queer, sex positive, professional counselor associate. I have experience and passion in working with LGBTQIA+ population in a therapy setting. I specialize in sex therapy. I provide a warm nonjudgmental space to explore gender/sexual identity, sexual orientation, anxiety/shame/trauma surrounding sex, kink/fetishes, relationship dynamics, non- traditional relationship/ family structures, and I am sex work affirming. I also have experience and enjoy working with those who struggle with generalized anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I view humans holistically and believe that all aspects of one’s life are important to consider for their wellbeing. I value the therapeutic relationship and believe it is the most important part in therapy in order for any healing and growth to take place.

Therapeutic Approach

---

My approach is caring and empathetic, with some humor when appropriate. My goal is helping clients become empowered within themselves, their relationships, and their communities while living as their most authentic self. I mostly utilize acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy, and existential therapy. I want therapy to be collaborative with my clients. I am anti-racist and actively work to acknowledge how my own privilege shows up in therapy and the world.
