Karen Chadwick, a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), understands that stress can significantly impact all areas of life. For individuals grappling with profound stress—whether stemming from relationships, careers, mental or physical illnesses, or chronic pain—the world may appear overwhelmingly hostile, especially when trauma is part of their history. This disconnect can lead to feelings of alienation not only from oneself but also from loved ones. Moreover, many people face struggles with addiction or behaviors that exacerbate their suffering. However, Karen believes in the resilience of the human spirit; stress cannot obliterate the essence of who one truly is. With compassion and mindful inquiry as her guiding principles, she empowers clients to reconnect with their inherent strengths and foster meaningful relationships. With over 16 years of experience, Karen is continually inspired by the healing power of awareness and empathy. She employs a unique blend of somatic approaches, psychoeducation regarding stress and its effects on the body and mind, and practical coping skills tailored for trauma and addiction recovery. Karen has received extensive training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psycho-Physical Therapy, and her collaborative, direct, and kind style makes her a compassionate partner in each client's therapeutic journey. She looks forward to guiding clients toward reclaiming their vitality and wisdom.
