Cara Mularski, LPC-Associate
​
Licensed Professional Counselor- Associate
Supervised by Dr. Wayne Smith, PhD., LPC-S
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Houston-Victoria. As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, I am dedicated to integrating diverse counseling theories and approaches to provide comprehensive client support. My commitment to mental health advocacy and crisis intervention drives me to build meaningful connections and foster positive change in individuals’ lives.
​
My practice is informed by attachment theory, which underscores the significance of early relationships in emotional well-being. I emphasize creating a secure therapeutic alliance grounded in trust and empathy, crucial for facilitating growth and healing.
My approach also incorporates elements from existential and person-centered theories, allowing me to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client. By blending these perspectives, I foster a collaborative and empowering therapeutic environment.
​
In addition, I embrace a modern, creative approach to counseling by utilizing innovative techniques such as expressive arts therapy, mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to help clients explore their thoughts and experiences in transformative ways.
As a member of the Psi Chi International Honor Society, I uphold academic excellence and ethical practice, ensuring my work is grounded in evidence-based principles and a strong ethical framework. My personal experience as a devoted mother enhance my understanding of mental health within familial dynamics and fuels my commitment to supporting individuals of all ages.
​
My collaborative spirit and practical insights contribute to effective solutions in the field of counseling. As I continue my professional journey, I am well-positioned to advance mental health awareness and effect positive change in the lives of those I serve.
​
I am a mother to two children of elementary age and have been happily married for ten years. I enjoy spending my free time learning different things, running, drawing, and anything that requires being outside (however, not in the Houston summer).
