About Caralee Crary
Caralee Crary brings 20 years of clinical experience as a licensed counselor who helps people navigate life transitions, relationships, and emotional challenges. She approaches therapy with the belief that individuals move through life stages with opportunities to learn and sometimes relearn important lessons, and she partners with clients to build self-awareness, practical skills, and insight to manage those changes.
Working with adult couples, Caralee focuses on relationship patterns, communication, and intimacy across the lifespan. She also works with children and teens to support their social, emotional, educational, and family functioning, and she assists adults who are clarifying goals around education, work, independence, self-esteem, and healthier relationships.
Her formal training includes psychodynamic therapy and object relations, complemented by specialized cognitive-behavioral training received at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado. This combination allows her to address observable behaviors and thought patterns while also exploring deeper emotional themes and relational patterns. Caralee uses a range of clinical approaches - from attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused, somatic, psychodynamic, and systemic techniques - tailoring interventions to each person or couple.
Caralee describes her style as collaborative and experiential - she offers direct, useful feedback while honoring each client’s pace of growth. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space for exploring difficult topics that people often find hard to raise. Personal life experiences contributed to her decision to become a therapist and continue to inform her empathic approach.
Caralee holds MEd and MA degrees and is credentialed as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. Her listed credentials also include NCP. Outside of her work she is married with two children and enjoys reading, gardening, music, yoga and walking, time in nature, and films.
