Karlie Markendorf

Karlie Markendorf, LMHC, ATR-BC, is an experienced counselor who understands the importance of seeking therapy during times of stress and transition. Her approach emphasizes creative and body-centered methods for growth and healing, incorporating art therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga, dreamwork, and EMDR. Karlie specializes in grief work and addresses various issues associated with trauma treatment, including anxiety, depression, and existential and spiritual concerns. She is committed to exploring themes such as relationships, sexuality, and identity with her clients, who range from preteens to elders. By utilizing Art Therapy, she encourages clients to create artwork that often conveys emotions and situations that are difficult to articulate. This creative process helps in expressing conflicts, exploring options, and envisioning a hopeful future. Additionally, Karlie believes that attuning to the physical body can reveal insights into how individuals cope with and hold tension both physically and emotionally. Whether a client is on a healing journey for themselves or for their child, Karlie welcomes them to speak, breathe, grieve, express, move, and grow in their own unique ways, honoring their healing process every step of the way.
