Karen Frederick
Hello! I'm Karen--but, I'm not "a" Karen!! We all have times in our lives when we need a little help sorting through life's challenges. Sometimes we feel anxious, discouraged, or overwhelmed. I want to be there to help you overcome whatever it is you're going through!
I know therapy may seem scary, but I truly honor and respect all of my clients--you're doing the right thing--the brave thing--in taking the first step and making an appointment.
I am a strength-focused therapist who will work with you to help you become aware of all the positive things you have going for you. Together, we will work to change the narrative and see life's challenges as opportunities! I know therapy may seem scary, but I truly honor and respect all of my clients--you're doing the right thing--the brave thing--in taking the first step and making an appointment. I hope to hear from you and look forwarding to working with you!
First session
In the first session, I try to get to know you and learn about your strengths, the people in your life, and what's going on in your life. We end by setting some goals together.
Strengths
My greatest strength is my blend of compassion and challenge. My clients are not happy where they are in life, and I understand and work with them to create goals and move toward achieving those goals.
Ideal clients
I am best qualified to treat adolescents and adults. I am a Christian and my faith is a crucial part of who I am as a therapist.
Treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I strongly believe that people want to improve and they want to improve quickly! We will work together to find solutions that YOU believe will work.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Sometimes we just need to accept the things we cannot change, and make a commitment to decide how these things will impact us from this point forward. We cannot control the past, but, we ARE the masters of our decisions, our attitudes, our futures.
