Karen Wilson
MSW, RSW., Registered Social Worker
Hi and welcome to my page. I want to start by congratulating you for taking the first step towards change and healing; for wanting things to be different and for choosing your well-being. It takes a lot of courage to start this process, especially during times when we feel like we are just managing and getting through each day. There may be times in our lives when we are feeling lost, experiencing difficulties within our relationships, or experiencing difficulties within ourselves (anxiety or depression). Whatever we may be struggling with, I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and has the resources within themselves to do this.
I believe we all need somebody we feel safe with to explore and work through the thoughts and feelings that may be getting in the way of living the life we want to live. We will work together to change these thoughts, heal these feelings, incorporate new tools and strategies in your life, in order for you to feel more settled, confident, happy and hopeful.
I have been a Social Worker for over 20 years, 12 of those providing clinical therapy. I specialize in trauma and work with the manifestations of trauma. Some of these include anxiety, depression, OCD, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties. I use a variety of psychotherapy modalities and will use the one that feels best and right for you.
