My name is Karen McKenzie-Bon, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, a Master’s degree in Community Health, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have worked with clients in various settings, including hospitals, schools, and community agencies. My background includes working with clients in individual and group settings, home-based care, inpatient, and outpatient settings.
I utilize evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My expertise lies with helping clients to address challenges with depression, anxiety, family discord, mental health struggles, and general life stressors.
During my first session with clients, I will engage clients in discussing past experiences, current interests, and any stressors that they may be experiencing. I will utilize my clinical skills to build trusting relationships that allow clients to feel safe and supported. I aim to guide clients to learn strategies for managing stressors and achieving positive outcomes. I am motivated to help clients explore factors that may contribute to distress, and learn coping skills for maintaining emotional stability. I am a compassionate therapist who empowers clients to attain their goals and maintain optimal health.
