Welcome to
Noema Care
Because feeling “fine” isn’t the same as feeling fulfilled.
Hi, I’m Karina Waluk (she/her). I offer therapy that’s collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to what actually matters to you.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who are doing okay on the outside—but underneath, something feels off. Maybe you're burnt out, stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or going through a big transition. You might be struggling with chronic pain or illness. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of it all, and feel more connected to yourself again.
Services
-
Individual Therapy
Space to explore, question, and grow.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something to shift, individual therapy offers a personalized space to dive into what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, work through challenges, and help you move toward the life you actually want — not just the one you think you should have.

Relationship Therapy
Connection doesn’t have to be this hard.
Relationships can be some of the most meaningful — and most complicated — parts of life. Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication struggles, big transitions, or just feeling disconnected, relationship therapy creates space for honest conversations, new tools, and deeper understanding between you and the people you are in relationships with.

Helping your brain find its natural rhythm.
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns like anxiety, attention struggles, or burnout, neurofeedback offers a science-backed way to help your brain find better balance. It’s a gentle, non-invasive approach that supports your nervous system’s natural ability for greater calm and focus.

My Approach
I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods or repeats the same phrases over and over. I’m curious: What matters most to you? What feels off? What’s the story your body is holding that your brain hasn’t caught up to yet?
Some weeks we’ll talk things through. Other times, we might tune into what your body is holding. I draw from evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, relational therapies, and somatic therapies — and I also offer neurofeedback, a brain-based approach that helps your nervous system shift toward more balance and calm.
Therapy with me is collaborative and authentic. We might laugh, untangle a looping thought, slow down and notice something in your body, or sit with something hard — together.
You can read more about my training and approach here.

Measurement-Based Care
I use a measurement-based approach to track how you’re doing over time — not in a clinical way, but to make sure therapy is actually helping in the ways you want it to. This lets us check in regularly about what’s working (and what’s not), and adjust our approach. You can choose not to opt-in, but if you do, you’ll have access to your own data and can view your progress too.

Why “Noēma”?
Noēma (pronounced no-AY-muh) Noema comes from philosophy and refers to the meaning behind an experience—not just what happened, but how we make sense of it.
In therapy, that’s exactly what we do. We explore the “why” behind the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that show up in your life. Not to overanalyze—but to understand. So you can respond with more choice, instead of reacting on autopilot.
Noema is about getting clearer on your inner world, so you can live with more intention in your outer one.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can start by reaching out through the contact form or emailing me directly. I’ll follow up to schedule a free 15-20 minute phone consult so we can talk briefly about what you’re looking for and see if it feels like a good fit. If it does, we’ll set up your first session and I’ll walk you through the rest from there.
-
We’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you in — no need to prepare. I’ll ask some questions, but mostly, it’s about getting to know you and seeing if this feels like a good fit. You can go at your own pace and if you don’t want to talk about something you don’t need to. You can learn more here.
-
Not at all. Some people come in with something specific they want to work on, others might feel somethings off, or they want to explore themselves. Part of our work can be figuring out what matters most to you and where you’d like to go from there.
-
Most people start with weekly 50-minute sessions. We can adjust the frequency depending on your needs, schedule, and goals.
-
Sessions are available via secure video (telehealth), and in-person depending on availability. I aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and collaborative — wherever we’re meeting.

You can view my rates here. Most private insurance companies have some type of mental health coverage. Please check yours for details. I also offer a limited number of sliding scale spots — feel free to ask about availability.

Therapy can bring up tough stuff, and sometimes it gets a little harder before it gets better. It’s normal to feel a bit vulnerable or unsettled as you explore deep feelings or past experiences. The goal is always to move through that discomfort in a way that feels manageable and supportive. If anything comes up that feels too overwhelming, we’ll slow down, adjust, or find ways to ground you. It’s all about creating space for growth, not pushing you into it too fast.
-
Totally fair. Not all therapy fits all people, and not all therapists are right for you. If something didn’t work for you in the past, we can talk about it — no judgment. My job is to create a space that actually works for you.
