Cara Stiegler is a current Master’s student at Hunter College, in the Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling Program. Before pursuing counseling, Cara attended Parson’s School of Design, earning a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Photography and Film Production. Cara believes in a multi-medium approach to therapy, drawing on her unique background and incorporating art therapy based practices into her work wherever possible. She prioritizes trauma-informed, person-centered care, allowing the client to be the expert in their own life and advocate for their own care. Through a psycho-educational lens, Cara meets clients in all stages of illness and disability, to create a space for healing. She strongly believes that client autonomy and self-advocacy are key to client growth and change. In her free time Cara volunteers at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center as a volunteer crisis counselor in both the Adult and Pediatric Emergency Departments.
