Nature's Way Holistic Counseling offers clinical mental health counseling with the addition of a health and wellness framework that connects the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in the term "holistic" counseling because our minds are not independent of all other aspects of life, but is dependent upon the complex, interconnected factors of life, including the food we eat, the environment in which we live, and the content we consume. Although some counseling services address these topics on some level, there is a gap in the field of practitioners offering such a comprehensive evaluation.
Karen has a specialization in crisis and trauma counseling and feels especially called to work with clients with a history of trauma and abuse. She enjoys working with clients struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and PTSD. Karen is also an LGBTQ+ therapist and welcomes the queer community.
