Karen Chadwick

Karen Chadwick understands that stress can be profoundly painful and affect all aspects of life. When individuals face significant stress from relationships, careers, mental or physical illness, or chronic pain, the world may appear hostile, especially for those with histories of trauma. This often leads to a deep sense of disconnection, where one feels distanced from their internal intelligence and the loved ones around them. Many struggle with addiction and other behaviors that exacerbate their suffering. The silver lining is that stress cannot erase the essence of who a person is; one's vitality and wisdom are always within reach. Through compassion and mindful inquiry, Karen believes that individuals can reconnect with their strengths and resources, forging satisfying relationships with others. With 16 years of experience as a therapist, she continues to be inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion and awareness. Karen combines a somatic approach to stress, trauma, and addiction recovery with practical coping skills while providing psycho-education about the effects of stress on the body and mind. Her expertise includes Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psycho-Physical Therapy. Karen's collaborative approach, characterized by directness and kindness, forms the foundation of her therapeutic style. She eagerly anticipates the opportunity to engage with clients on their healing journeys.
