June 26, 2025: Talk about a short commute! Kara Dimon, one of Bronxville’s newest residents, is also The Counseling Center’s latest addition. “I love the idea of being a part of the community I live in and supporting it in a real, tangible way,” says Dimon. “It feels both grounding and energizing to be a small part of an organization making a big impact right in my own backyard.”

This therapist, who received her Masters of Education in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University, is one busy woman. She is raising her three young children with her husband, whom she met as an undergraduate at Duke University. 

Dimon’s path to The Counseling Center was not traditional. She holds an MBA and worked in healthcare as a hospital operations manager and later as a director at a digital health company focused on women’s health. 

“I’ve always been fascinated by how peoples’ pasts shape their present, and how their stories carry influence over emotions, decisions, and relationships,” says Dimon. ”I’m excited to help clients move toward a version of themselves they are proud of.”

Dimon describes her work as integrative and collaborative, drawing on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused strategies.

”I specialize in working with adults and families navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting, relationship dynamics, and workplace stress. What draws me to this work is the complexity of the human experience. I believe in treating the whole person, with attention to the personal, relational, and systemic factors that influence how we live and feel.”

About balancing it all, including a new town and new job, Dimon says, “I found myself repeating a simple phrase to my four-year-old when she resisted going to her new school: find your fun. "She may not have fully unpacked it yet, but my hope is to instill in her a sense of ownership even in moments she can’t control. I think it applies to all of us: even when life feels messy or uncertain, there’s value in directing our own path forward through new challenges.”
