Meet Our Founder, Cara Fairfax

Cara is a San Diego therapist passionate about helping pregnant and post-partum women as well as families with babies and young children. From family planning, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum life, Cara is experienced in helping clients overcome grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. She supports parents with new babies when things don’t go the way the parents expected, for example, a traumatic pregnancy or birth, fetal or infant loss, a NICU admission, adoption, known or unexpected infant disability, postpartum depression/anxiety, and adjusting to a new life with your new baby and growing child. Cara will support your family through family planning into middle childhood, helping you navigate the twists and turns.

Cara is also the author of a children’s book about growing up with divorced parents when one parent is self-absorbed. ISLAND HOPPER explores what it feels like to navigate very different relationships with both parents while feeling closer to one parent over the other. The book includes a “Parent Guide’ and “Helpful Tips’ for parents to support their child during a high conflict parenting dynamic. The book is available now on Amazon
