About Me

Are you struggling with Life stressors? Loss? Anxiety? Depression? Are these struggles effecting your relationships, job, happiness? I will journey with you in a compassionate and interactive manner towards your therapy goals. I use an eclectic, client centered approach to therapy and will tailor your therapy to your specific concerns, goals, strengths, and learning style. Together we will explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are affecting your life, and some practical interventions to attain goals.
You will have a safe and supportive, non-judgmental space to express and process your thoughts, grieve, and grow. Areas of practice include treatment of anxiety and depression, grief and loss, health concerns, life transitions, aging, and marriage and family issues.
I have over 25 years of experience treating a variety of clients and issues. In tailoring your therapy I will draw on a variety of treatment modalities & experience. My use of client-centered treatment will guide your journey as we build a relationship, establish rapport and work towards restoring stability, meaning, & satisfaction in your life.
I have attached a Therapy Goals worksheet which will help organize what you hope to achieve and attain through therapy

I found Karen Thorpe to be an excellent counselor. She had insight that I did not have and really helped me to see and understand what my issues were. The few sessions that I had with her helped me tremendously.

Even after just one session with Karen I am excited to start this journey. I love how much experience she has. I felt like she was able to understand my current issues and I loved how she began mapping out a plan to working through everything. I’m very excited to see where this all goes.

Written by J.E. on Apr 15, 2021 after therapy with Karen for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self esteem

Karen’s insights and simple-to-follow strategies for managing through my traumatic experiences and related mental health struggles have been invaluable. She is kind and attentive. Provides meaningful support and makes you feel capable and strong in the face of pain. Karen has been able to see all parts of me, parts of me nobody has ever seen. And the “things” I’ve felt diminished by or powerless from I now feel empowered by. I am who I am because of my experiences. And I can continue on in a healthy, powerful and (most importantly) healed way because of her guidance. Karen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Work with me!
