Karen Chatman, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Karen!

Everyone deserves to experience hope and a new beginning! My goal is to offer personal growth by providing a supportive and safe environment to truly express yourself and be heard. I primarily provide support to teens, adults, parents, and families seeking to find success in navigating everyday life.

My focus

Through my career, I have gained knowledge and understanding of the effects of Postpartum Depression, experienced by both parents! It is my goal to bring hope without judgment for true healing. I am well-versed in Women's Health along with working with the whole family through my career in Neonatal Intensive Care.

My approach

I take a client-centered approach through talk therapy, active listening, and motivational interviewing. Everyone is different and deserves to have sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

I believe that everyone has a voice, and it should be heard, however you are able to express yourself. I prioritize being clear and open with communication to create a trusting environment. Clients often describe me as calm, encouraging, and empathetic.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with my own experience with PostPartum Depression, along with the need to address the stigma behind expressing the effects that PostPartum Depression has on mothers and fathers.

My goals for you

In our work together, I'll combine understanding with practical growth tools to help you find hope and relief to build confidence in what you can achieve. Through our work together, we will identify challenges and work on strategies to move forward in confidence, as you are encouraged and empowered after each session.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time towards hope and healing. My goal is to help you rediscover your strength and find peace in each day.
