This is a place to understand what’s keeping you stuck so you can emerge differently
There are moments in life when you know something isn’t right, even if you can’t neatly explain it. You may feel shut down, disconnected, or stuck repeating reactions you thought you’d outgrown.
And even in those moments, something new is possible
Simply being here and asking for help is a step toward that change.
Your reaction, perspective, and what you bring to your experiences shape how they unfold. Together, we’ll identify the patterns impacting your well-being and collaborate on new strategies to help you move from surviving to thriving.
Dara Caputo, LCSW-R
My approach to therapy is rooted in real transformation: a collaborative process that asks you to be willing, engaged, and accountable. We’ll make both small and large adjustments in your responses to create new pathways for sustainable change.
In our work together, I'll draw on insight-oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational therapy, and mindfulness practices, while making space for your own insight and lived experiences. These therapy modalities support my passion for true metamorphosis, rather than sitting in stagnation.
Outside of sessions, I’m an active mental health advocate, serving on the boards of two nonprofits and leading community workshops. Otherwise, you can find me with my husband, our two kids and their significant others, and our two dogs, finding ways to bring creativity into everyday moments.

Therapy is a space to better understand your emotional life, your patterns, and what’s shaping the way you move through the world. Coaching is centered on the environments where you’re expected to show up, communicate clearly, and perform under pressure, whether that’s at work, in leadership, athletics, or another high-responsibility setting.
