Dr. Cara Leigh Recker

Cara-Leigh Recker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who entered the field of mental health based on the idea that we often do not know the burdens that others carry. She has a background working with individuals who are seeking purposeful treatment of substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder and/or bipolar. Cara-Leigh holds that mental health and substance use therapy is meant to be a collaborative process where goals are set together in a strength-based approach. Cara-Leigh completed a Masters of Special Education with a focus on ASD. Her experiences in the foster care system led Cara-Leigh to return to school for a licensure in Mental Health Counseling to continue working with individuals seeking personal growth. Cara-Leigh strives to help her clients with positive self-regard through solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy. Asking for help can be one of the hardest, most awkward, and …bravest things you can do. If you are seeking guidance during a challenging time, or a compassionate voice in a time of chaos, Cara-Leigh is eager to offer you the support, encouragement, and strategies you need.
