Karen Williams, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karen!

I support clients on their journeys of healing, building healthy relationships, and achieving personal and professional goals. I'm honored to build a counseling relationship founded on trust with each person I work with.

My focus

I work with adults in individual therapy. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, stress, coping skills, life transitions, chronic illness, mood disorders, self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ issues, gender identity, and women's issues.

My approach

I use a client-centered, strength-based approach to provide individualized and compassionate care. Drawing from Solution-Focused, CBT, Behavioral, Gestalt, Mindfulness, Narrative, Art, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I work collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

My communication style is supportive, culturally sensitive, and client-centered. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, group home, residential treatment, and private practice settings. This diverse clinical experience has solidified my passion for supporting individuals in their mental health journeys.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the coping skills, self-awareness, and mindset needed to overcome life's challenges and achieve your unique therapeutic objectives. I'm committed to walking alongside you, offering guidance and support as you navigate your path to well-being and personal growth.

Our first session

In our first and subsequent sessions, you can expect an accepting, warm, and encouraging environment created to foster growth, healing, and the achievement of your personal and professional goals.
