Accepting new clients for in person or virtual sessions. Stress and triggers just won't stop and it's been building for FAR too long. You can't stand how irritable you’ve become, especially around those you love. Your go-to de-stressors just aren't cutting it, and you’re growing tired of your own procrastination, rumination, and withdrawing from others. You want to be more present in your life and relationships. This can absolutely be temporary. Let's work together to move you past this!
I can help you feel quick relief, eliminate triggers & calmly move forward longer term. We'll rebuild coping skills for relief now & prevention later. I'll validate you (especially when it feels like no one understands), challenge you with care & use your strengths to help you meet your goals. Ideally, we'll also laugh together and connect as humans.
You're struggling now and contacting therapists only to wait for responses is frustrating. Skip the waiting and take another step toward relief now by scheduling a brief phone consult directly on my website. Let's get started!
Call or Johanna Karasik now for a free 15 minute consultation - (720) 295-2599

I integrate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which uses eye movements and voluntary image replacement for rapid relief and recovery from distressing images and difficult sensations. ART is very effective in treating trauma (one-time incidents or complex trauma), anxiety, phobias, grief & more, providing relief & resolution rapidly, in fewer sessions and therefore at a lower cost overall.
