At Here With You Therapy, we specialize in complex trauma and grief therapy, that gently guides you back home to your Self, becoming the author of your life. HWY Therapy offers an eclectic blend of somatic and cognitive therapy, to transform trauma patterns that are currently amplifying your suffering, into deeper states of connection, confidence and fulfillment. HWY Therapy may be a good fit for you, if you are naturally curious, self-reflective and willing to travel to new depths of self-discovery. At HWY Therapy, we invite self-inquiry as a looking glass to see clearly what gets in the way of your deepest desires for yourself.

At HWY Therapy, we prioritize being human and real together. You won't find a removed therapist acting as the expert of you. We value YOU as the expert of your own experience. In the therapy room, we'll be two humans on the path together to greater healing. We'll support you in freeing up the inherent wisdom and self-guidance you already have within you.

Karen is a neuro-queer, creative therapist (LCSW) who offers therapy to adults who are grieving, survivors or just wanting support in navigating life hardships. Karen is certified in treating complex trauma and traumatic bereavement. Karen is an inclusive therapist for the LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, non-monogamous & non-conforming communities.
