Kara Moras
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
I welcome and affirm all clients and identities through my practice and aim to foster a real, non-judgmental relationship with my clients.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker excited to be a part of the Verge Therapy team both via telehealth and in-person at the Braintree location. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Simmons University in 2015 and have been with Verge since 2022. My clinical background is focused on working with adults and adolescents in a myriad of settings across the mental health system including emergency rooms, inpatient psychiatric and substance use floors, and outpatient partial hospital programs. I strongly believe we are the experts in our own lives. I strive to work together with clients in an inclusive, non-judgmental space to guide your journey of self-reflection safely and fruitfully. By drawing from a mix of evidence-based treatments including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and dialectal behavior therapy, to name a few, we will work together to make sense of your own experience and live a more fulfilled life. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, listening to podcasts, going to the beach, concerts, and spending time with my dog, Deacon. I can't wait to meet you!
