Hello! I'm Karen Weaver. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been practicing for over 10 years. My Master's degree is from Chapman University. My focus in working together is to assist you in becoming your best self. That could be anything from managing anxiety and stress better, to overcoming past challenges or getting along better with family or friends.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will help us get to know each other. We will also discuss the challenges you are facing and set some tangible goals to work towards.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have helped many people overcome challenges by understanding the origins of their difficulties and learning new tools to overcome the challenges and live their best lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a great resource to explore and observe thought patterns. We can then evaluate which thoughts are fact and which are just thoughts. Then we work to change the ones that are not effective or serving you well.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
You have a lot of strengths. This methodology focuses on how we can utilize your strengths to address the challenges you are facing now.
Psychodynamic
Sometimes our thought/beliefs/ideas originate from past experiences. It's helpful to explore the origin of some of the not helpful thoughts and put them in a different perspective.
