“I knew that not every psychiatrist would fit with you but Karen was a good fit for me. My rating might be high because of this. I was able to be myself and she asked the questions that she needed to to get to some of my issues. We're going to get back at it and tackle this.”

Helpful and caring.
My consultation with Karen Schaaf was very positive all around. She was very attentive and demonstrated empathy. She discussed pros and cons of different medications and allowed for shared decision-making. Would recommend without hesitation.
I loved that she didn’t push for changing what already worked, and was able to get me continuity of my treatment plan. Very pleased.
Very friendly and helpful!
It was very quick, she understood me well and was concise. Everything was very clear and she took everything I said into account. Immediately offered a plan to ween off of my medication and offered my guidance and next steps.
Karen is a nice and warm person. I look forward to seeing her in the near future and building our patient/provider relationship.

Kind, straight shooter and to the point.

My boyfriend had been pushing me to talk to a doctor about different anti-depressants and talk therapy. I have always been quite anxious about doing so, but I have to say that after one talk with Dr. Schaaf, I am so grateful I got the push to make an appointment. I have never felt so understood and listened to like I have by Dr. Schaaf. I am actually looking forward to our next call and I feel like im on to a great start. Her spirit is so warm and inviting. She listens and provides feedback that really makes you know she heard what you were saying. My one zoom call so far provided a plan for my medication usage and alternatives for combating my problems in my daily life. I cannot recommend Dr. Schaaf enough. You are in good hands with her.

Karen Schaaf NP is a practitioner I highly recommend. Besides being trained in family practice she also is among a select few NP's that have recieved additional training and accreditation in mental health. Karen is attentive, intellegent, kind, caring, and listens to her patients. As my primary care provider, Karen has always reponded to my questions and needs quickly and with great care and consideration. On days that I had in-person appointments whe arrived on time and gave me her undivided attention spending additional time with me when needed.
Karen is really caring and good active listener . She cares about her patients and is knowledgeable regarding her care.I highly recommend her. She is professional and educates regarding patients having any concerns about there health.
