Getting to know Karen Asbra
Hi there, I'm Karen!
Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Karen Marie Asbra, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's in Counseling from California Baptist University. My heart and passion are to see people get healed and become who they were meant to be. Everyone encounters challenges in life, but you don't have to remain stuck in them. I work with clients navigating a wide range of emotional experiences, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to support anyone seeking to enhance their well-being and develop the skills needed to achieve their desired outcomes.
My approach
My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, using a variety of therapeutic modalities that best fit each person's needs and style. In addition, I am a Certified Trauma Professional. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow within ourselves, and I would be honored to help you on this journey. My life experience and professional training help me to be dedicated to creating a compassionate space where clients feel secure sharing their thoughts and emotions openly, feel heard, and can handle difficult topics without judgment.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, teens/adolescents, and families facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem, and relationship conflicts.
My communication style
My goal is to create a compassionate space where clients feel secure sharing their thoughts and emotions to allow for healing and growth. I believe there is always hope for healing-always hope for things to get better-and I will hold that hope for you when you cannot.

I originally started with Karen because she's trained in EMDR and that's what I had been looking for. She was great with EMDR, but I also further developed a stronger relationship with her outside of just EMDR... she's so good at flowing with what's needed at the time, supporting in just the right way, and always available for basic talk therapy. She has a soft and gentle presence which makes it easy to open up and spew out all my crazy without worry. I highly recommend her.
