Kara Fletcher

Kara has over twenty years’ experience working with individuals, couples and families. She is a 500-hour AAMFT accredited couple and family therapist and holds a PhD in Social Work from McGill University. Her areas of interest include working with high conflict couples, couples and individuals navigating infertility, infidelity, and other relationship challenges, family therapy, diverse relationship constellations, and individuals dealing with mental health and substance use issues. Kara is also interested in supporting individuals through career challenges, stress management, life transitions and grief and loss. Kara works with individuals of all ages.

Kara is trained in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), narrative therapy, somatic approaches, dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment theory (ACT) and mindfulness approaches. She will also be completing EMDR training at the end of 2025.

Kara is also an Associate Professor at the University of Regina, Faculty of Social Work where she teaches the next generation of social workers. Her current research focuses on intervention research in couple and family therapy, and the impacts of conspiracy theories and misinformation on couple and family relationships.

Kara is welcoming and non-judgmental. She loves working with her clients to accomplish what it is they are hoping to change when they are feeling stuck. She believes in the inner strength of her clients and will work with you to get to the root of the problem, identify what is getting in your way, help you to find those “ah ha” moments (and usually some “ha ha” moments), and make those changes last. When not at work, you can find Kara reading a good book, identifying bird calls, hugging puppies, or trying a new recipe.
