Hi, I'm Dr. Karen DeCocker, Vice President of Clinical Services at Stella Mental Health, and I oversee our clinical assessment team. After a decade of hospital nursing, I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, then doctor of nursing practice. Our treatments include Spravato (esketamine), ketamine-assisted therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), medication management, stellate ganglion blocks (SGB), psychotherapy, and integration therapy. I specialize in identifying innovative treatments & therapies to help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD/PTSI, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and more.
First, I help identify what treatment(s) might be best for you based on your biological, psychological, medical, and social factors and history. Then, we build a treatment plan together to help relieve your symptoms and help you get back to your best self. With 25+ years of clinical experience, I look forward to being your expert guide.
I'm deeply committed to advancing safe, evidence-based, and accessible mental health care. I'm also passionate about expanding treatment options for people whose symptoms have not improved with traditional therapy or medication alone. At Stella, I strive to strengthen continuity of care & support patients to find treatments that can truly change their lives.
