Therapists in Graham, NC

Karen’s passion as a Social Worker is to uplift, inform, empower, and assist "All" clients with creating avenues for success, with a great desire to focus on lower socioeconomic and at-risk populations.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

Most people with anxiety or depression don’t realize how their negative self-talk keeps them down and actually deepens their anxiety or depression. After working with me, my clients identify and reverse the effects of their negative self-talk, start feeling energized and motivated to do the things they used to enjoy, and are able to experience the simple joys of being alive again.

My clients say that I am comfortable to talk to and easy to get to know. I can assess a situation and problem solve in an efficient and timely manner, helping you to see quick results in areas of your life that you are open to change. I have 20 plus years of experience yet am very current in my treatment approach. I look forward to meeting you, and joining with you on your self care journey.

If anxiety feels all-encompassing, leaving you exhausted and unsure about the future, hindering the life you envisioned, you're not alone. Whether it's persistent panic attacks, draining social anxiety, or constant tension, it may feel overwhelming. The good news is you don't have to navigate this alone. Throughout my experience as a therapist, I’ve helped clients work through a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship issues, and more. I enjoy helping clients to explore their past and prepare for their future. I'm adept at teaching practical coping skills to drastically reduce anxiety.

My goal in therapy is to guide you in self-exploration so you can better understand yourself and the issues you face, and then learn what it looks like to live in alignment with your values. At the foundation of this work is a trustworthy therapeutic relationship. I have experience and am trained to help clients navigate eating disorders/disordered eating, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, and significant life transitions. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician devoted to creating a safe space for all identities. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and am Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned.

Accepting Clients...Is stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias and past trauma stopping you from enjoying life? Don't know how to take your power back? Well, let me let you in on a little secret. All problems come from within and I help you not only go within and find the answer, but also make peace with the answer so you can finally live the life you are meant to live.....a life full of happiness, joy, tranquility, success, and prosperity instead of living with feelings of defeat, desperation, disappointment, and hopelessness.
