Karen Bashawaty is a dedicated Counselor, MA, LPC, who understands that each client is unique. She tailors her therapeutic approach to meet individual personalities, fostering a safe and accepting environment where clients are treated with respect and empathic concern. As a practitioner of Radical Forgiveness Therapy, Karen guides clients through the often challenging process of forgiveness, enabling them to break free from longstanding anger and pain. She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an effective treatment for trauma that yields remarkable results for adults and couples struggling with a range of issues including marital discord, phobias, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, work-related stress, and grief. Recognizing that trauma underlies much of human suffering, Karen utilizes EMDR to help clients overcome years of distress, finding relief from debilitating symptoms like nightmares and flashbacks, often within just a few sessions. Following successful EMDR sessions, clients commonly report a profound sense of peace and calm. By combining body-focused techniques such as EMDR, Radical Forgiveness, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with traditional psychodynamic methods, Karen facilitates real progress for clients who previously felt stuck. This newly discovered emotional freedom paves the way for unlocking their true potential.
