Kary Scriven

My communication style

I am a generally positive person in my professional and personal life. I tend to find positives whenever possible and utilize these to build upon your inherent strengths. I am empathic and open-minded in my approach to working together in therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist over 25 years ago out of a desire to help people who are feeling lost, hopeless, and alone. I know what it is like to not feel you can turn to anyone in your immediate environment with your deepest struggles. I hope to be that safe person for you.

My goals for you

I will help you clarify your goals and identify immediate short-term objectives to meet those goals. As barriers to those goals arise, we will work through them together.

Our first session

During our first session, I want to hear your story. I will occasionally ask clarifying questions, but I am mostly interested in hearing from you what you are hoping to gain from therapy. It is an opportunity to see if we both feel we will work well together, and to set realistic goals going forward.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
