Hello, I'm Karen Hall and I'm a licensed clinical social worker. I let my clients take the lead in what they want to talk about in therapy. I consider clients to be the experts on themselves and what they want to work on. I like to tell clients their options for whatever they consider important work. With trauma I begin by helping clients identify their triggers and soothing mechanisms first, then reveal options like narrative writing, cognitive processing, EMDR, brain-spotting or an integrative approach whichever techniques may be best for them.

Each of us shapes and is shaped by the relationships we have with others, with our bodies, with our stories, with our cultures, and with our worlds. We find ourselves here and now because of where we’ve been and what has happened, because of how we carry our experiences forward and how they have made us. I am awed by the creative resilience with which we integrate or shoulder the burdens we’ve felt. I find astonishing and courageous the ways in which we not only survive, but find ways to thrive, to express ourselves, and live into the fullness of human experience despite those things that have hurt us and that hurt us now.

Are you more stressed than you would like to be? Often bothered by troubling thoughts? When you get upset, is it hard to settle your mind and body? You also might be struggling with an unhealthy connection to food, exercise, or how you view your body. Perhaps you hesitate to build new connections with people because you're afraid of being hurt, making it tough to socialize or step beyond what feels safe. You’ve probably put a lot of effort into finding relief, only to feel stuck.
I work with men, women, couples, parents, young adults, and adolescents (10+).

Most of the men I work with are carrying more than they let on: pressure at work, conflict at home, ADHD that's finally catching up, anxiety that shows up as anger, or a low-grade feeling that they're failing some test no one will name.
My style is direct, warm, and laid-back. No clinical jargon, no vague nodding. We'll build practical tools you can use this week — communication, emotional regulation, focus, follow-through, boundaries — while also getting underneath the patterns that keep the same fights, slumps, and shutdowns showing up.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
