Karen Shugart

I provide evidence-based mental health care, including medication management, lifestyle modifications, and other therapeutic approaches.

My passion for mental health care was sparked when I volunteered at a crisis hotline. I later earned a master's degree in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Since then, I have gained valuable experience in community and hospital settings.

I recognize that seeking mental health care can be challenging. That's why I strive to offer a warm, open, and non-judgmental approach.

The first session is about developing rapport and trust. I want to learn more about you – your history, concerns, and goals. I’ll discuss treatment options and answer your questions.
