Karen King, Mental Health Counselor in Bellingham, 98225

My Approach to Helping

My goal is to help you find new hope and perspectives. In our work together, we will uncover your ideas of health and happiness and help you move toward them with confidence and ease, while letting go of unhelpful patterns and habits you may have developed to cope.

My approach is supportive, compassionate and direct . I always take time to listen to what my clients are saying they want from our work.

If you're looking for clarity and insight into a difficult situation that's been troubling you or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Please call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation today.
