Hi, I'm Karen Strauss. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families to effect personal growth and empowerment. I specialize in anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and relationship work. I specialize in exploring relationships, whether within a partnership or a client's relationship to themselves and the other people in their lives (not necessarily a romantic relationship). Couples therapy is a passion of mine, as is working with individuals who are struggling through a transitional period in their lives.

Adolescents (and adults) have many difficult issues to face as they transition through different phases of life. These issues are often compounded by trauma, low self-esteem, and problems within interpersonal relationships with peers and family. Therapy is a tool that can be used to help individuals identify and access inner strength to overcome life's hurdles.

Please note: I will not be available for consulting with prospective new clients or others by phone or email until after November 1, 2024. I have 45 years experience helping people feel better about themselves, and working through the pain and self doubt that is holding them back in life. We all need a caring, supportive person at times who listens and is genuinely concerned about our well being. When that happens new possibilities for happiness that seemed lost or forgotten can emerge to our delight and relief. For years I've led workshops and conferences at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California on compassion oriented therapy.
