Cara Winter, MA
Pre-Licensed Therapist
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University and am working toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).
I practiced several years in Spokane, Washington before making the jump to the Twin Cities.
I specialize in supporting teens, families, and women through life’s transitions, with a particular focus on women navigating menopause and the shift into empty nesting.
My approach to therapy is holistic, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a therapist specializing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I strive to create a collaborative, compassionate space where clients feel seen and supported as they move toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am an accomplished photographer, a competitive bodybuilder, and an avid traveler. These passions continue to fuel my belief that healing and growth can be nurtured through creativity, discipline, and exploration.

Registered Dietitian
I am a Registered Dietitian that believes that nourishing the body should feel supportive, flexible, and free of guilt or restriction.
My own journey toward finding peace with food and body image inspired me to help others do the same. I understands that sustainable health comes from listening to and trusting our bodies rather than following rigid food rules or external expectations.
As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I work with you to restore confidence in your food choices, reconnect you with your natural hunger and fullness cues, and discover enjoyable ways for you to move and care for your body. I have a very compassionate, individualized approach that helps Client's build lasting habits that support both physical and emotional well-being—so you can live fully without food holding you back.
