Getting to know Joel Karr

Hello, I'm Joel, and I'm passionate about helping you find relief and empowerment in your life. Whether you're feeling powerless, stuck, or troubled by past experiences, I'm here to guide you through a painless and effective resolution process. I specialize in Rapid Resolution Therapy® (RRT), a method created by Dr. Jon Connelly, which allows us to address and resolve disturbing experiences without the need to relive them. You can learn more about this transformative approach at As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (MSW), I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions. My background in social work and my certification in RRT equip me to handle a wide range of mental and behavioral health issues. I have a particular focus on ADHD, adolescent and teen mental health, anger management, antisocial behavior, anxiety, autism spectrum support, children's mental health, depression, family relationships, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ support, narcissistic personality disorder, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and trauma. Parenting is another area where I offer significant expertise. Raising my own children has given me invaluable insights into the challenges parents face, especially when dealing with intelligent and sometimes challenging children. Over the years, I've developed effective strategies to help parents feel empowered and capable, often seeing positive changes in just a few sessions. When you work with me, you can expect a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where your needs and experiences are respected. I meet clients where they are most comfortable, whether that's in their home, office, or through convenient virtual sessions. My goal is to facilitate resolution and eliminate problematic sensations, feelings, and thoughts, allowing you to move forward with confidence and clarity. I invite you to take the first step towards a brighter future. Let's work together to achieve the relief and empowerment you deserve.
