Hi! My name is Karen Joyner, and I am the CEO and founder of Shaping Professional Counseling. At SPC we help clients heal from past hurts and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Everyone has a unique story. What’s your story? We know the process can be overwhelming, and we're devoted to offering our unwavering support during this emotional journey. We believe that counseling is most effective when it creates a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to participate actively in their healing journey. We are committed to offering everyone compassion, empathy, and understanding in their journey toward healing.
Shaping provides counseling to adults who have gone through traumatic experiences and want to improve their quality of life. We use evidence-based interventions tailored to your specific needs to help you overcome your struggles. We offer individual and couples counseling services to help with issues from Domestic Violence to anger management, and more.
We are here for you. Give us a call and let us know what we can do to help you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
