Life and challenges go hand in hand! Imagine a life where there is nothing to excite you, keep you running, and motivate you to do better, it would be such a dull and stagnant existence. Challenges and excitement are what gives life its color and meaning.
My mission is to guide those who feel lost in darkness. I have been there myself and know how hard it can be to find your way out. But with the right help and support, you can find the light again and live a happy, fulfilling life.
No circumstances are big enough that they can stop you from living your life to the fullest! Always remember one mantra “Happiness is a State of Mind”! As a therapist, my hope and desire are to bring light to all my clients and guide them to a place where they can discover their own inner light.
I started my career in psychology with a bachelor's degree, where I learned about human behavior and psychology basics. Then I pursued a master's degree in mental health counseling, gaining hands-on skills to help people with mental health issues through therapy.
I continued my education to earn a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. This advanced training provided me with a deeper understanding of psychological disorders and their treatment. It also equipped me to assess psychological conditions, diagnose them, and deliver advanced therapeutic care to my patients.
Throughout my experience, I have had the opportunity to work with adolescents, adults, and families facing various challenges, including:
For properly addressing a person’s mental conditions and the challenges faced by them or their family, it's crucial to thoroughly understand all the details. That's why I, Dr Karen Hawk, employ a holistic, trauma-informed approach alongside various evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Simply put, I take into account the entire person—mind, body, and emotions—when comprehending and addressing their challenges.
My trauma-informed approach involves recognizing the broad impact of trauma and understanding how it can influence an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Someone's loss is someone’s win! You must have heard that, right? When we talk about life, if you are constantly negative, you can’t see the positive around you! I believe in offering simple solutions to change your perspective. Through my experience, I have learned one thing that, two people can have the same problem but there is no one-fit-all solution.
Each person requires a different solution that suits them best. Hence, I incorporate several evidence-based therapies into my practice, including:
By using these methods together, I aim to provide therapy that meets each client's specific needs and goals, helping them heal, grow, and feel better overall.
