Provider information
Description
I’m Cara Moody, a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Victoria. Alongside my private practice, I work as a therapist in an outpatient HIV clinic. I bring several decades of experience in HIV care, addiction, women’s health, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, and trauma. My work is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy, Intersubjective Self Psychology, Relational Psychoanalysis, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, and a social justice lens. I believe that not feeling safe or fully seen can deeply impact our relationships—with others and ourselves.
