Karen Napack

My communication style

I have a gentle and direct style of communicating. I listen to you, summarize statements, and ask if I'm clear about what has been said. I learn more by listening and asking pertinent questions. I strive to create a safe space in a non-judgmental environment and listen with respect and empathy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked as an assistant for an Employee Assistance Program and became so interested in the mental health therapists' work that I went back to school to become a therapist. I love this field because it provides me with the opportunity to contribute to the community by assisting people to become mentally healthier.

My goals for you

I want to gain an understanding of your current therapeutic concerns and goals, coupled with those that may evolve. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that includes your goals with a plan about how to reach these objectives. We will build a strong working foundation that allows us to collaborate and find the right skills.

Our first session

When meeting for the first time, we will complete an initial assessment together. This allows me to learn about your therapeutic objectives, and for you to learn and ask questions about working with me. I am pleased that you made the decision to go on your therapeutic journey and that you chose me as a collaborator.
