Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is collaborative, personalized, and neurodiversity-affirming. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor our work to how your mind processes, focuses, and experiences the world. Together, we focus on practical strategies and deeper insight so you can move from simply getting through the day to feeling more grounded, balanced, and confident in yourself.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I provide therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties, with a focus on helping high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally "stuck". My approach is collaborative, structured, and insight-oriented, combining evidence-based strategies with deeper exploration of emotional and relational patterns to support meaningful, lasting change. Clients often appreciate my thoughtful, direct, and supportive style, as well as the practical tools they gain to better manage emotions, improve relationships, and navigate life with greater clarity and confidence. I offer a professional, supportive space for individuals seeking both understanding and forward momentum, and I welcome those ready to engage intentionally in the therapeutic process.

I approach each client with empathy, professionalism, and a focus on individualized care tailored to their unique journey.

Cuda Counseling LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My story starts with losing a UPS delivery job during the 2005 Christmas season because I ran over two cones in reverse. I was lost and shed tears until I realized I needed to head in a new direction - this time, moving forward. What I thought was the end was, in fact, just the beginning. I now have 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist, and I launched Cuda Counseling (C²) in 2017. I often work with professionals who are experiencing challenges due to the ever-increasing demands put on them.
