I believe that the answers to people’s problems lie within, and that I serve as a guide to facilitate the emerging of solutions. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and holistic, that is, I see you as a whole person, and believe in the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit.  This includes seeing you in the context of the world we live in, and how you may be impacted by that in your life.  I welcome those who are new to therapy and perhaps a bit skeptical or uncomfortable, in addition to those who may be quite familiar with the process. My intention is to be as present with you as I can be, and to create a safe, supportive atmosphere where acceptance and compassion play a role in the growth and healing process.

I have worked with individual adults and adolescents of diverse backgrounds and identities.  I have experience working with survivors of domestic violence, various forms of trauma, stress management, addiction, body image issues, relationship issues, as well as those engaged in spiritual exploration, and those who are simply feeling “stuck” and want a little guidance to create change in their lives.

My training as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor was based in traditional talk therapy, however, I tend to integrate Mindfulness techniques, and could potentially incorporate other body-based therapies such as EMDR, EFT, or yoga, depending on a client’s needs and interests. I am also certified as a Kripalu yoga teacher and an Energy Codes facilitator. Together we can decide what approaches are the best fit. For more information, please visit www.karenenegess.com.
