I'm Karen Cappello, a passionate advocate for strong, committed, and resilient WOMEN - single moms, married women, professionals, retired women, and grandmothers - those for whom life feels challenging and may have been touched by trauma. I specialize in helping females work through stress, anxiety, grief, impulsivity, and self-doubt to find their voices, rediscover themselves, and reclaim their power. We'll work as a team to identify the pain points, develop coping strategies, and set goals to work toward.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

It will help me learn more about your background before we start therapy. Our first session looks like a bit of paperwork and it is the most crucial step to us working together. We'll review confidentiality, HIPAA, your goals for therapy, and goals for life. This crucial first step helps us kick-start your path to healing with strength.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Clients tell me that I'm easy to talk to and that they feel safe talking about scary and dark thoughts and feelings. I am humbled to be able to bear witness to another's pain and hold our space with compassion and confidence.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Memories sometimes get stored in a way that is unhealthy and causes overwhelm and problems as we move through life, and it can inhibit and tax our ability to work through events with strength and clarity. I want to help you move out of trauma quickly and get back to an audacious life! Using this method, we can tap into the experiences in life that cause you pain so you can let go of what you're holding onto and heal.

Motivational Interviewing

Imagine talking to someone who truly understands your struggles, validating your feelings of guilt, low self-worth, and uncertainty about your purpose. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck, I’m here to create a supportive space where your challenges are acknowledged and your needs are respected. Let’s work together to find solutions that help you reclaim your balance and confidence.

Strength-Based

We'll focus on your strengths and past successes to help address your feelings of guilt, low self-worth, and uncertainty. By building on what you already do well, we’ll set goals and tackle challenges with a positive mindset. This approach will boost your confidence and help you find a clearer sense of purpose.
