Kara Friedman, LPC
I'm a Coach and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience working with teens and women in St. Louis, Missouri and around the country. I'm committed to helping my clients see their true potential by using evidence-based approaches mixed with an authentic human-to-human connection.
This work matters, and together we will help you shift your focus from the hard things in life to your outstanding strengths - so you can take actionable steps moving forward.

Create a plan.
Decide what you want to accomplish and use what you have learned about yourself to develop a plan personalized for you.

My Approach
Sessions are personalized to inspire and support all the motivated teens & adults who are interested in pursuing their dreams and achieving their goals. No matter if you see yourself as a student, parent, friend, professional, nurturer, or a combination of these, I am here to encourage and help you identify what you want and how to get there!
Yep! I have been a licensed therapist for over 20 years and LOVE it!
Wait, aren’t you a therapist?
Hold up, how are coaching and therapy different?
Therapy is meant to support people who need to work with a licensed mental health clinician to help them with challenges that fall under a diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, etc.. Some people want support in establishing and achieving goals or have the desire to talk to someone but don’t need the level of support that therapists provide. And that, my friends, is what coaching is for!
If you become a client of Kara Friedman Coaching, I am not able to provide therapeutic services to you. However, if you are looking for a therapist we can discuss you becoming a client of my therapy practice. More information can be found on my therapy website. If you become a client of my coaching business and find you need therapy services, I will be happy to make an appropriate referral to another provider who might be a good fit for you. Are you unsure if you are looking for a coach or a therapist? Reach out and we can have a discussion about what is going on and I will make a recommendation based on your needs.
Will I also get therapy if I work with you?
Providing you with a safe space to explore YOU.
Don’t go worrying yourself about feeling judged. Don’t worry about feeling a little extra or not “enough.” Just come as you are we will work together to help you become the best version of yourself!
