Karen Kaiser, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karen!

I view my role not as an expert dictating your path, but as a guide accompanying you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. Each individual holds the key to their well-being; my job is to support you in unlocking your inherent potential and navigating the challenges that arise along the way.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults navigating mood disorders, the impact of childhood trauma and abuse, challenges related to low self-esteem, and the psychological aspects of living with chronic illness. My practice provides a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences and embark on a healing journey.

My approach

I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer a comprehensive therapeutic experience. By combining these modalities, I can meet the unique needs and goals of each client.

My communication style

I focus on amplifying each client's inner strengths and capacities. I believe in empowering individuals to take charge of their healing journey by fostering an environment of encouragement, self-reflection, and support.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was influenced by my own healing journey through therapy. Being a therapist provides me with a sense of purpose that I find rewarding.

My goals for you

From the very first session, I prioritize setting clear, personalized goals with each client, asking directly what they hope to accomplish through therapy. This ensures the therapeutic process is tailored to meet their needs and creates a roadmap for our work together.

Our first session

During the first session, you can expect to engage in a comprehensive clinical assessment and treatment planning process.
