Dr. Kara von Dresner de Rothschild - forensic and clinical psychologist.

Meet Dr. Kara von Dresner 

Kara von Dresner de Rothschild is a world-renowned forensic and clinical psychologist. She holds five graduate degrees, completed residency and fellowship at the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry, a second fellowship at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and has studied Mindfulness in India, Djibouti, and Kenya. Dr. von Dresner held eight licensures, from which she resigned to treat active-duty Navy SEALS and high-profile clients with complete anonymity.

Dr. von Dresner is widely published on forensic topics and has taught behaviorism, clinical analysis and psychopathy in more than nine countries. She works in private practice, however, still consults for the Army, Navy and several government agencies. She has resigned from acting as an expert witness, except in select divorce and murder cases. 

EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Treatment Modality 

Dr. von Dresner is an expert in several behavioral therapies (BT, CBT, DBT & REBT) and also uses a psychoanalytic approach to understand clients. She will work with your primary care physician, if needed, to optimize psychopharmacological interventions. 

The most important part of therapy is you. Your feelings, your wants, your needs. Because of this, Dr. von Dresner takes a different approach to therapy with each client. Her goal is more than merely decreasing psychological symptoms, but making sure clients excel in every aspect of life, including work, relationships, finances, physical health, spirituality, and self-love.

Patients who find no relief with other practitioners, find great success with Dr. von Dresner due to her skilled capacity of functional analysis. Treating high-functioning patients requires more than conventional therapy.  To truly understand and treat the problems of C-Level patients, the therapist must be as intelligent and also have an excellent understanding of intricate interpersonal relationships, occupational demands, the psychology of others in your life, the current political and economic climate, and even often business management or board relations. 

Dr. von Dresner's expert ability to actualize true self and potential is based on her unique bond with patients: one of radical acceptance, emotional intimacy and cognitive understanding. She is mutually invested in the well-being of patients and often lives their symptomatology to better devise effective interventions. Dr. von Dresner is available to her patients on a 24/7 basis because she believes the best time to fix an issue is when it is happening. She must be there 100% of the time, for patients to trust her 100% of the time. 

CLINICAL EXPERTISE

Transition

Transitioning to a new position, relationship, home, situation or stage of life can foreordain your success and happiness. Do not let old baggage or doubt dampen your destiny. Allow Dr. von Dresner to expose your blind spots, strengthen your standing, and guide your journey, making your transition smooth and successful. Clinical advice is the most predictive of all.

Grief

Grief is the human body's biological method of detachment, and losing something you love is never easy. Grief does not only occur after the loss of a loved one - it comes in many forms for many reasons. Whether grieving the loss of a person or pet, the sale of your company or possessions, lack of action, or a major life change, Dr. von Dresner will get you through the stages and your life back on track.

Sexuality

Sexuality is an unbeatable biological drive that affects us in all aspects of life. When not adequately expressed, we start to see depression, anxiety, marital discord, and sometimes even anger. Dr. von Dresner will help you better navigate sex "addiction." paraphilias, extramarital affairs, and changes in drive or interest to a level of comfort.

Suicidality

Most people think suicidality is a problem. It is not. It is a solution and through functional analysis, Dr. von Dresner will extrapolate the problem and more adaptive solutions. 

Obstacles

We are often our own greatest enemy, but whether an obstacle is internal or external, Dr. von Dresner will help remove the fear and stress keeping you from your personal goals.

Retirement

Retirment is one of life's most difficult transitions and, unfortunately, intelligence only makes it harder. Dr. von Dresner will minimize the sequalae of change, such as altered family dynamics, boredom or existential crises.

Relations

Interaction with others determines your quality of life.  Building a positive relationship with your spouse children, coworkers, board members, and even barista, stylist or mail carrier will exponentially enrich and ease your life. Learn how to build lasting fruitful bonds. 

Growth

Therapy is a luxury from which everyone can benefit. You do not have to be anxious or depressed to want personal growth. Dr. von Dresner is an expert at finding and actualizing potential in her patients, their businesses, their families and their lives. 

Illness

Everything changes with illness. Whether you, a loved one, or business partner become sick, drastic changes are needed to just maintain normal life.  You owe it to yourself to seek help for the wishing, the wondering, the anxiety, the depression, and the doubt.
