Hi! I'm Karen and I'm so happy that you've gained the courage to ask for help! I've been a counselor for 18 years, and have worked with a broad range of clients. My style is casual, but I really like to focus on problem solving. My hope is that you'll come out of your first session with a couple of tools that, if you apply them, will help relieve the problem. During every session, we build onto the foundation we've laid, increasing your tools and addressing any new issues. I'm a great listener, and am able to tease out things that might guide you to relief. Counseling is a great tool, but its a two way street - you'll have some homework and activities to do between sessions, and it's important that you fully engage in your healing. I have expertise with Military - active duty or veterans and have worked with Regular and SOF troops, spouses and families. I believe in empowerment for my clients, and my hope is that through our work together, you can heal and move through your problems with strength, integrity and grace.
Additional areas of focus:LGBT, Family conflicts, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Attachment issues, Co-morbidity, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, Divorce and separation, Domestic Violence, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Emptiness, Expats, Family Problems, First Responder Issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Military and Veterans Issues, Mood disorders , Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Traumatic Brain Injury, Women's issues

Amazing woman. I trust her and she’s like a walking super hero.

Karen has taken me from being a suicidal patient with no confidence to a competent, independent person with a toolbox full of tactics to tackle every challenge that comes my way. Her laid-back demeanor sets me at ease, yet she takes my issues seriously. It helps that Karen is a kindred spirit to me: she loves to travel, lives simply, and isn't opposed to moving across the country on a whim. I would highly recommend Karen to any one of my friends!

Only have a couple of weeks talking to Karen. What a relief, she listens, holds me accountable, and is always willing to give a helpful, noncritical feedback about some of my bad habits, relationships, friendships, anger.

Karen has been an amazing counselor and I am incredibly grateful to have her. She has been guiding me through a very difficult period in my life and I know without her and this site it would have been a much, much more difficult journey and I would not be even close to the positive direction I feel like I'm headed in now in regards to my personal growth and mental health. Thank you so much, Karen.

I can not recommend Karen enough. She is helping me with my alcohol abuse as well as the emotions and experiences that go with it. She is completely non-judgemental. I know you're not supposed to do this to a counselor, but I would give her a big hug if I could. I really feel like she is helping to save my life.

While working with Karen, I feel as though I have been heard, but not judged. I was extremely apprehensive to engage. After having shared some things that I have traditionally been guarded about, I felt a sense of relief. I am definitely going to continue with this process. Something about it felt therapeutic.

Karen has been a waking point in my life. She’s taught me so much in such little time. She’s a great therapist to talk to, she listens carefully and responds to every aspect of what you wrote. She truly does care about making people feel better and helping them out. She shares lots of articles for references as well!

Karen really understands my needs and has helped me come over many challenges in just a few weeks. I like her approach, I am usually flooded and overwhelmed with emotions. She has helped me address and work some ways I can release negative thought patterns. I've started with her for about 3 weeks now, since working with her I've seen many improvements in how I feel. I've been feeling much more confident about myself and, I'm finding myself returning to enjoying my hobbies again whereas for a couple past years I wasn't able to. I still have much work to do, I know with her continued support I will be to achieve my personal my goals to managing my emotions more effectively.

Written on Sep 26, 2018 after therapy with Karen for 3 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse
Working with Karen House has helped me through my recovery process. I have overcome many obstacles because of the way Karen is as a therapist. I never felt that a problem I was battling would lead to judgment. As she is very transparent and honest she maintains compassion through that. I recommend Karen House to anyone that struggles with mental health and substance abuse issues.

I was only able to use Betterhelp for a few weeks, but I had Karen House for the entirety of the duration, and I'm really thankful I was matched with her. She is very kind and was able to give me advice and solutions for all the problems I voiced with her, and recommended great resources that aid me beyond the counseling. It felt as though I was talking to a friend, and that I could trust her wholly with my struggles.

With straightforward and effective tools and ideas, Karen has been helping me to make sense of my life and of who I am.
Through new ideas and even readings and other complementary material shared per my request, our written correspondence, twice or three times a week, is when I can put order on my thoughts and feelings, share it with someone and receive useful feedback and orientation.
Thank you, Karen, for being there!

Karen is thoughtful, funny and compassionate. She's also direct in a way that is never overbearing just straight laced and i've been so happy to work with her. She gives me space to think things through but never lets me become overwrought.

I love this form of therapy. I've had many sessions over the years with counselors face to face. By far this has been my best experience. Karen is objective and understands my needs because of her experience, therefore her help has been very insightful and focused. I'm so pleased she was assigned to me. I have a lot of work ahead of me but motivated to take the journey with Karen.
