Welcome
The Center for Authentic Autonomous Relationships and Existence (CAARE) Counseling and Consultation, LLC opened its doors officially February 2020, however, it has been the brain-child of its founder, Cameron Mazzeo, since his young adulthood. Finding little help grappling with his own sexuality, gender identity, and alternative relationships was the seed for a mental health agency dedicated to celebrating individuals and families outside of the monogamous, vanilla, cisgender, heteronormative story that so often is the sole narrative of our society and media. While our beginning is certainly a slow and humble one, a hope of growing into larger organization exists.
