Kara Lukowski(She/Her/Hers)

Kara Lukowski is the owner of Counseling With Ayurveda, LLC which is a holistic mental health practice. She assists individuals who are feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, angry or confused. Sometimes it’s due to past traumas – maybe from childhood that haven’t been fully addressed but symptoms show up in daily life. Sometimes its due to painful relationships that bring up anxiety, frustration or depression. Sometimes challenges come from issues of co-dependency and low self-worth, which can take the joy out of life and relationships. Sometimes it’s due to grief and loss, or life-changes that feel impossible to cope with.

Kara works with clients to clear out old narratives that are keeping them stuck, assists them in getting connected to their own body’s wisdom, and supports them in gaining confidence to live by their own rules and values.

Kara is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and has a background working in the field of ayurvedic medicine and yoga. This allows her a broader lens of understanding your challenges and a robust toolkit of therapeutics to support lifestyle changes. She is also a practitioner of Vedic Astrology which, if you are interested, can help you understand deep seated karmas, patterns, and even timings of life cycles. She is also experienced in 12-step programs and supports the inner work that unfolds through the recovery process.

The modalities she uses most often are Mindful and Somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Kara is compassionate, non-judgmental and inclusive. She values the cultural and spiritual differences we all have and is committed to helping you live in an authentic life that is in alignment with your deepest wisdom.
