How many hats do you wear? Let’s be honest, in today’s face paced world, many of us wear too many hats causing our lives to become unmanageable. If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, stuck and/or depressed, it’s time to try on a new hat! One that is more aligned and uniquely fit for Just For You! Hi! My name is Karen L Kennedy and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), specializing in trauma therapy. I am committed to guiding individuals through their journey of healing and growth.
One size does not always fit all, so I utilize an integrative style. Life sometimes comes with "hats" we did not choose but we certainly have a choice in how we feel, think, and respond! As an EMDR clinician, with Trauma-Informed Care approach, together we will personally tailor a good fit with stitching with unconditional positive regard.
With EMDR techniques, let’s clear out your old hat boxes, some that you may have even forgotten were hidden away. Whether it’s Individual or Group sessions - Let’s identify strengths, build upon them, and learn new ways of coping. Let’s prioritize the “hats” you wear. I look forward to supporting you with a smile.
