About
Hi, my name is Kara Hardesty, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been a therapist for 7 years since I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a master’s in social work degree. My therapy services include Evidenced Based Treatments: Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My approach to therapy is solution focused and the importance of living in the present. As a therapist I could help you identify your strengths and how you can use your strengths to work towards your goals and on obtaining the things you want out of life.
My experience includes a wide variety of ages, but my specialty is working with adults and couples. My experience includes providing in-home therapy for a residential facility for severely mentally ill clients, in-home and in-school therapy for children (ages 10-18), in home therapy for adults, tele-health therapy services for children (ages 10-18) and adults, and in-office therapy for all ages.
I am easy to talk to and non-judgmental and believe that we all can make positive changes to improve our mental health and our lives. I am a mother of 22-year-old twin girls and a 6-year-old mutt dog.
I am excited to partner with you to help you identify areas of growth and focus. I will offer objective observation and suggestions based on evidence and research.
