Kara Morrissey

Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor & Board Certified Art Therapist

Background

Kara Morrissey is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, certified in Brainspotting, and a graduate of The University of Georgia and Florida State University who specializes in working with clients who have received multiple levels of treatment, high risk behavior, clients coping with critical incidents, grief, and substance abuse. Kara’s non-traditional therapeutic work is less about identifying dysfunction and carrying the burden of pathology and more about entering a space that is ripe with support, experiential and working knowledge, as well as collaborative, compassionate, existential work.

Kara has spent the last decade working in a range of settings including acute psychiatric care on the community and state hospital levels, forensic mental health, juvenile justice, substance misuse & recovery, family & parent counseling, and residential rehabilitation. Kara is passionate about therapeutic work that is person-centered, humanistic, and believes that no experience goes to waste.
