Karen Maknoor

My name is Karen, and I work with individuals and families, who are ready-or close to being ready-to move beyond just getting by and start feeling better about themselves and their lives. My approach combines deep, compassionate listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), solution focused techniques, and other practical tools you can use in your everyday life. I have more than 10 years of experience working in a variety of medical settings, such as hospice, inpatient adult rehabilitation hospital, and outpatient children’s hospital. I have two masters degrees in social work and public health.

In our sessions, you’ll have a space to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, gain meaningful insights, understand patterns, and reconnect with your strengths while identifying areas for growth. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation-one that leads to resilience, clarity, and real progress. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported and more capable than when you started.

A little about me-I’m originally from Costa Rica, I love traveling, I am bilingual (Spanish and English), and I’m a proud mother. Pura Vida. I’m currently accepting new clients for telehealth sessions. Let’s connect for a brief 10-15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. And if not, that’s okay-I’m happy to help you find someone who may be a better match.
