Karen is amazing, life gets crazy and she still checks in and makes sure I’m doing okay. I feel so supported and I have a safe place to talk and get no judgement only help. Her ways have helped me grow and find strength so much. I was so nervous to start therapy but she made this the easiest transition and experience I could’ve asked for

She is well spoken, a very good listener, and allows you to truly open up, and deeply explore things about yourself you never knew before. Also she works with you and continues to reinforce any positive changes you have made, while acknowledging things that need to continuously be worked on for sucess.

I love Karen!!
Written on Mar 27, 2025 after therapy with Karen for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and coping with life changes
This has been the best decision I’ve made with therapy. Although you don’t have in person interaction feels more comfortable saying what you want over the phone, through video calls or through messages. Karen is a great listener, gives me a different perspective of things, gives suggestions on how I can move forward or options to help with the struggles. Would definitely recommend Karen Galvin
