CARA MOODY, MSW, RSW
(she/her)

Through my professional and personal experiences, I have a deep
understanding of how feeling unsafe and not fully seen can have
lifelong and profound impacts on how we relate to ourselves and to
others.

This understanding is central to my therapeutic approach.
I have worked for several decades in the areas of addiction, chronic
health conditions, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, and trauma (in its myriad
forms).

Working together to understand what you’ve been through
and how those experiences have shaped you and your beliefs about
yourself, holds immense potential for growth and healing.

I completed my Masters degree in Social Work at the University of
Victoria. In addition to my private practice, I work as a therapist in an
outpatient HIV clinic.  My approach is informed by Psychodynamic
Therapy, Intersubjective Self Psychology, Relational Psychoanalysis,
Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment theory, and a social justice
lens.

My style of therapy is empathic, strengths-focused, curious,
collaborative and playful. I don’t presume to know who you are, but
will join you in discovering who you are meant to be. You and I will
develop a relationship that makes the unbearable bearable.

We will compassionately explore and make conscious the unconscious ways
you might inadvertently undermine yourself. Together we will build a
foundation that will launch you into the life that you envision for
yourself.
