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.
