Meet Kara

Kara Tolman, MSW, LCSW

​

I’m Kara Tolman, MSW, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and certified ART therapist in Wilmington, North Carolina.

 

I help adults navigate life’s challenges and heal from anxiety, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties.

In each session, I teach practical tools for emotional regulation, anxiety mastery, and relationship growth, drawing from ART, CBT, ACT, and Mindful Self-Compassion.

 

I guide clients to reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

​
