Hello! I'm Dr. Kara Kornher, a passionate psychologist with over 25 years of experience in clinical psychology. My journey has led me to specialize in helping individuals and couples enhance their communication and relationships. I believe that by changing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, and learning effective communication skills, we can foster healthier connections. Since December 2022, I've been working remotely, collaborating with clients who have private insurance or Medicare. My approach is centered on Compassionate Communication—a model designed to improve understanding and problem-solving within relationships. Previously, I served as a Psychologist and Learning Disabilities Specialist at California State University San Marcos until December 2023. There, I supported students with disabilities by providing necessary accommodations, assessments, and guidance to help them succeed academically. I hold a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree from an APA accredited program and completed my internship at an APA accredited site. My expertise extends to working with college students dealing with mental health challenges, ADHD, and ASD. If you're looking for support to navigate relationship challenges or improve your communication skills, I'm here to help you take those steps towards a more fulfilling life.

Whether it is an acute illness or a chronic condition, all patients are different, as well as their journey, and I enjoy getting to know each patient, as a whole. *Please Note: I currently do not prescribe pain or stimulant medications at this time.*

Life can be incredibly difficult and even tragic at times. Abrupt transitions; mental and physical illness; even a simple lack of direction can all constitute overwhelming obstacles. We often find ourselves needing an outside perspective and a supportive environment to sort through our jumbled thoughts and emotions. Mental Health Counseling can provide this. For the past six years I have specialized in treating anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, and life-transition related issues. I offer a unique clinical perspective heavily based in the philosophies of Stoicism, Existentialism, and Mindfulness. In conjunction with the insights of Evolutionary Psychology, Personality Psychology, and Cognitive Psychology we can build a plan to help you move forward while gaining personal insights and building resilience. I so look forward to working with you and to being a part of your journey. With support, empathy, and encouragement we can all thrive. Reach out today and we will get you scheduled to assess your needs and to make a plan of action to help you actualize your amazing potential.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I can provide psychiatric evaluations, prescribe medications and be a part of your support system.

I was trained in New York City, received my Bachelors from NYU and my Masters from Hunter College. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, and have a special interest, and certification, in perinatal mental health.

You’re anxious and frustrated. Maybe lost, confused—even overwhelmed. My hope as your therapist is that you see hope in just visiting this page. You're done hiding, avoiding, and repressing what you really feel. This is step #1 toward healing. I invite you to take a step further. Together, we will bring clarity to your situation, process unresolved emotions, and develop coping skills for enduring positive change. When you are sitting across from me, my goal is for you to feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I am honest in what I see, and part of my role is to point out what may be outside your awareness. When I work with you, I will ask you how you deal with negative emotions. I want to know about your relationships and their effect on you. I will take into account your culture and community. I have worked in residential treatment and outpatient care. I received my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University, where I studied Clinical Mental Health with specialization in Marriage, Couples, and Family. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Harvard College.
