Dr. Karen Hammond

Welcome. I love helping people learn to navigate challenges in life. The treatment plan is tailored to each client's situation. We work together to determine the best method(s), and goals. Whether you are navigating a life transition, or you have a mental illness that you learning to manage, I can help.

You may be carrying invisible wounds from childhood trauma, abuse, or overwhelming life events. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and or repeating old patterns—and wonder, “Why can’t I just move on?” If so, you are not alone.

I focus in treating Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, PTSD and complex PTSD, and more.

My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as psychodynamic therapy as well as EMDR, CBT, DBT, solution focus, motivational interviewing, Body based Somatic, and even non-verbal modalities like Sandtray, if the client would like. Additionally, I like to help clients learn what is happening in order to give them more insight, and not just apply the therapy modalities. Customized treatment in a safe accepting space is the goal.

Clients often say they feel deeply understood—both intellectually and emotionally—in our work. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode into a life that feels safe, connected, and whole. If you’re ready to take the next step in healing, I invite you to reach out. You’ve carried so much on your own; now it’s time to be released from the pain.
