“Karen has a warm, accepting personality that immediately put me at ease. She was an open, active listener who gave me space to speak while also interjecting with her own questions here and there. She even jotted down a series of questions for appointments moving forward.
I felt safe to truly be open with Karen. After seeing a number of therapists prior to her, this stood out immediately as an uncommonly-seen trait.
I will be seeing her for my second appointment tomorrow and am looking forward to working with her for the foreseeable future. ”

“Right away from day 1, Karen has been nothing but the best! I always feel so comfortable and open when talking to her. Her attention to detail when it comes to relating past sessions is really what makes it worth going every week. Huge bonus that they are able to work with my BCBSOI insurance making weekly visits affordable. ”

Getting to know Karen Beeson
Please note that Medicaid plans are not accepted, so please confirm that you are not in network with Medicaid prior to booking. The practice will verify insurance coverage prior to the visit.
I am a licensed social worker based in Geneva, Illinois. I completed my Master of Social Work degree at Aurora University.
Some clients come to therapy to work on specifics, while others bring a less particular notion of what they hope to achieve. Together, we will explore and identify obstacles and develop a plan to take you where you wish to be. In the process, it is my privilege to create a safe and comfortable space for you to feel heard and supported.
Outside of the office, I enjoy painting, reading, exploring cultures new to me, and spending time with my college-aged sons.
I offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments, either in person or virtually. I welcome you to get in touch to begin your journey toward the life you want, personal growth, and increased happiness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with pre-teens, teens, adults, couples, and families. My clients come to me to address concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, grief, parenting, career concerns, social skills, life transitions and relationships.
Respect for your unique identity, perspective and goals remains at the forefront as we work together. Some goals expressed by my clients include increasing self-awareness, confidence, self-esteem and emotional regulation, while broadening their base of coping and communication skills.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process centers on your needs. I incorporate aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, strengths based practices and attachment based therapy. I am dedicated to my continuing education and the advancement of my knowledge of mental health theories, practice, and treatment.
I bring to your session additional pertinent personal and professional experiences ranging from parenting to the fields of education and professional development.
