At different times we experience unresolved situations that affect our sense of clarity, calm and balance. As a therapist and guide, together we will strive to remove those obstacles and restore hope and engagement. We can achieve this through developing goals and ways to cope that address those often unexpected and sometimes familiar patterns of living. My practice serves individual adults, children/teens, parents including parent and child therapy, and elders. My wish for all clients is to find a trustworthy therapist in me. Please refer to my website to learn more about my specialties and past work history at karenapetersen.com.
My areas of experience include assisting women preparing for female surgeries in an effort to help restore potential body image adjustments post surgery and to assist in mental health healing.
My specialties include life transitions: separation/divorce/ coparenting, women's issues, grief/ loss of all kinds, adult /child ADHD, sensory sensitivity, adult anxiety/depression, child/adolescent anxiety/depression, school/social issues, being the sibling of a neuro-divergent sibling, LGBTQ allied, and family of origin healing.
