Rising Sunlight Counseling

About Us

Rising Sunlight Counseling is dedicated to helping you find greater peace, clarity, and joy in your life. Founded by Cara Stronsky, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, the practice blends deep, meaningful healing with light-hearted humor to create a space that feels calm, comfortable, and productive. Therapy here honors both the real and sometimes painful parts of life (relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, life transitions, identity shifts) while also making room for curiosity, growth, and even laughter. You are welcomed exactly as you are.

Cara primarily practices Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, grounded in the belief that we all have different “parts” within us. Each part serves a purpose, even when it causes confusion or distress. You will work to understand these parts, heal underlying wounds, and strengthen connection to your true self. Sessions often incorporate somatic therapy to deepen mind-body integration, helping you move out of your head and into a more grounded, regulated, and connected experience of yourself.

Therapy at Rising Sunlight Counseling is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique story. Together, you’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover your inner strengths, and create a path forward that feels authentic and meaningful. Whether you’re feeling stuck, hopeful, uncertain, or ready for change, you don't have to navigate it alone. Rising Sunlight is here for you.
