Faith guides the way to our healing

Hello, my name is Kara Kihm and I’m a faith based counselor with 18 years experience as a psychotherapist. I believe that faith is a huge part of healing and if it weren’t for my faith, I would never have survived a devastating divorce, the tragic and early death of my only sibling, and raising my daughter alone as an only parent. Faith has truly guided the way for my own healing and transformative. through dark storms.

Therefore, I use an integrative approach focusing on the mind, body, and spirit with my clients.

I specialize in working with Highly Sensitive Women and I have a special place in my heart for HSPs, empaths and intuitives because I am all of those.

I work with women who are anxious, exhausted, burned out from life and are functioning off of adrenaline and cortisol to make it through the day. I provide nervous system regulation to help you find balance in your life, in your body, and with your emotions through a faith centered approach.

If you think you may be a Highly Sensitive Person and have a dysregulated nervous system, take my QUIZ HERE to learn more.

My Testimony

I very much consider myself a Jesus follower. I wake up each day and pray, How do I embody more of Christ’s love in my life? and How do I more deeply love my neighbor? I do not feel bogged down in the black and white thinking of religious dogma and try to stay in connection with Jesus each day as my primary goal. As I’ve deepened into my relationship with the Lord and leaned on him to navigate my traumas, he has shown up with some miraculous healings. I’d love to share two testimonies from my own healing journey.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a terrifying fear of flying that was literally paralyzing. I have done every type of therapy for this phobia and even tried hypnotherapy, yet nothing moved the needle. My fear was too deeply internalized. When my daughter was 8 years old I had to take an emergency flight with her. I got on my knees and prayed to Jesus with all of my heart and soul. As I prayed I felt him come into my heart, remove my fear and completely free me of my paralysis. In an instant, Jesus had removed what a decade of therapy never had touched. I now tangibly know the healing power of Jesus and how his love can transform emotional pain, wounds and traumas.

When I was 13 years old, I had back surgery and couldn’t walk for many months. My back has rarely bothered me since that time, but occasionally I am overwhelmed with pain. I signed up for a conference regarding my business and injured my back seriously a few days before. I decided to attend the conference for the morning session only just to meet new people and connect. A prayer team greeted me at the door at the Christian conference and prayed over me. My back was instantly healed and I was able to attend 3 full days at the conference from 9am-9pm. This experience was truly a spontaneous healing through prayer.

I have personally experienced the healing powers of Jesus and seen miracles unfold with physical and emotional pain. After these experiences I want everyone to know the healing power available through Jesus’ Love.

I am taking on new clients, booking speaking engagements, and hosting powerful transformative Meetups.
