I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in practice for more than a decade. I am certified in EMDR and Addiction Therapy. Previously, I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital working directly with people affected by serious mental illness, psychosis, suicidal ideation/attempts and chemical dependency/psychiatric diagnosis. I also worked in outpatient (IOP) helping people who were newly sober acquire the skills to work on their recovery and reintegrate into life.
Cara Barresi, PLPC
(314) 325-8686
I am a PLPC in the state of Missouri. I have experience working with eating disorders, chronic mental illnesses, comorbidities, and complex trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is a highly effective trauma treatment. My approach to the therapy process begins with a mindset that safety and connection are the most important aspects of any healing relationship, including the relationship you continually develop with yourself. I believe that you have an amazing potential for self-healing. Together, we can work through the painful emotions and internalized beliefs so that you may connect, rediscover, and return to your unique and wonderful self. I look forward to meeting you, and hope to walk with you on your healing journey.
