About me

I am licensed in Maine with 4 years of professional work experience. My area of expertise and focus is helping adolescent and young adult clients (ages 13-28) with depression, stress, anxiety, substance abuse, lgbt-related issues, trauma, and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Hansen. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Karen is great. She is incredibly patient, caring and kind. She provided me not only with great talk therapy but amazing resources to go to outside of therapy to further help me in my healing process. I highly recommend Karen!

Karen is great, she offers amazing feedback and really gets me thinking and connecting the dots. I like her style, she is straightforward and honest. I look forward to my conversations with her every week.
