Hi there, I'm Katheen Karol!

Feeling depressed, anxious, or traumatized? Are you having difficulty making sense of your life? I am here to help you navigate these feelings and emotions, to provide support, and help you feel more confident in your areas of struggle.

My focus

I take a client-centered approach, meaning you set the pace and your goals guide our work together. I meet you where you are, honor your lived experience, and support you in building the tools and confidence to heal and grow.

My approach

My approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion, empowerment, and a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I am dedicated to helping clients build emotional resilience, develop meaningful coping skills, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

My communication style

In my sessions, I strive to cultivate a warm, honest, and grounded communication. I meet you where you are, and we grow from there.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with deep curiosity about people and a desire to understand emotional pain, resilience, and healing. I have witnessed firsthand the power of emotional support and the courage people show in their hardest moments.

My goals for you

We will co-create pace and goals rooted in your needs, and I will provide tools, grounding strategies, and compassionate guidance to help you build emotional resilience and move forward with confidence.

In our first session, we will take things at your pace. You will have he space to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from this process. We will also talk about your goals and begin building a foundation of trust and comfort together.
