As a narrative therapist, I help my clients explore the personal, relational and societal stories (both useful and problematic) that shape and give meaning to their lives. My collaborative sessions highlight and emphasize clients' strengths and innate ability to "re-write" difficult chapters of their stories so that new pathways to empowered, inspired living can emerge.

I was raised in the diverse melting pot of New York City as a first-generation Chinese American, born to parents who emigrated from Hong Kong. After college, I moved to Nashville, where I had the wonderful privilege of traveling the world as a musician. These experiences afforded me the unique opportunity to hear thousands of people’s stories, from depression, suicide, grief, and addiction to hope found amidst it all. Through these stories, as well as my own, I came to realize the powerful gift of therapy and the difference that occurs when we come to understand our intrinsic worth and capacity to be seen, heard, known, and loved.

Self-discovery is an intentional process which helps us create a balanced approach to change and acceptance. I offer a safe and creative space for teens and adults to explore identity, life changes, and relationships. I am deeply passionate about serving marginalized populations and am affirming of all identities. I enjoy supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community in finding individuation of self, creating healthy relationships/attachments, and exploring the intricacies of gender and sex to support their understanding of how they can show up as humans in their world.

You might feel stuck in cycles you don’t fully understand—struggling in your relationships, caught in patterns of addiction, or questioning your sense of worth. You may long for connection but aren’t sure how to let your guard down. I work with adults and couples who are curious, even if hesitant, and ready to look inward. My ideal client wants to understand how past wounds are shaping their present and to feel more whole, grounded, and free. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward a life that aligns with who you really are.

Something isn't working — and you may not be able to say exactly what. You've managed, accomplished, perhaps sought help before. Yet a familiar dissatisfaction returns. Relationships repeat their patterns. A symptom persists despite your best efforts to be rid of it. Psychoanalysis begins precisely here: not with a treatment plan, but with a question about what your suffering might be trying to say. This is not short-term or symptom-targeted work. There is no curriculum, no homework, no fixed endpoint. Just your voice, without a filter.

Are you struggling with managing drugs or alcohol? Are you having a lot of conflict with your loved ones? Do you feel unhappy with yourself and your circumstances in life? You likely have tried many times to feel better but only end up feeling worse. This makes it difficult for you to be understood by others because they don't understand your struggle. I commonly see people who have a difficult time cutting back on addictive behaviors, feel excessive guilt for their actions, and have a hard time managing the pressures of work. If you relate to this, then you are not alone. I work with many others who have the same struggles.

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.
