Kara Sunwell, AMFT – therapist in Santa Barbara

Kara Sonwell AMFT

Clinician

I’m currently focusing my offerings toward couples and teens. 

My approach is integrative. I draw on mindfulness-based and somatic work, emotionally focused and relational approaches, and creative and nature-based practices, along with practical, solution-focused tools that keep our work grounded in everyday life. I tailor therapy to each person or relationship rather than fitting anyone into a single model.

With couples, I help partners slow down painful cycles, understand what’s happening beneath the conflict, and rebuild connection and trust. I welcome couples of all kinds, including siblings, co-workers, or those in consensually non-monogamous relationships.

With teens, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space to talk through anxiety, big emotions, identity, and relationships, at their own pace and in ways that feel natural to them. I work with creative, sensitive, and neurodivergent teens, and I partner with parents while respecting the privacy that makes therapy work.

 

My style is curious, warm, and non-judgmental. I believe real growth involves some discomfort, and that every person has the capacity to heal. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you.
