Karen Thacker

Karen Thacker, a Licensed Professional Counselor (MS, LPC), assists her clients in their quest to move forward in their lives with a blend of empathy and empowerment. She provides a safe, nurturing environment where clients can explore the underlying issues that lead them to seek counseling. Karen believes that many challenges stem from negative beliefs adopted over the years, often beginning in childhood. Through an eclectic mix of tools and techniques, she guides individuals and couples towards healthier relationships with themselves and the world around them. Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, she approaches therapy as a deeply personal journey, grounded in the belief that change and growth are attainable. Karen emphasizes that although the process may require significant effort and courage, it is indeed possible. Having received extensive training from Dr. John Townsend, she specializes in uncovering breakdowns in character structure development while fostering a welcoming atmosphere for healing. In addition to her counseling practice, Karen serves as an adjunct professor at the Townsend Institute Master of Counseling Program at Concordia University, CA, thus furthering her commitment to the field of mental health.
