Getting to know Karen Clay-Beck
Hi there, I'm Karen!
My name is Karen Clay-Beck, MA, LMFT, license number 150845. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My dedication to my clients comes from a well deep with purpose. I enjoy working with clients in the age range of 30-55 who are experiencing burnout and may feel emotionally and physically exhausted due to prolonged stress, demanding responsibilities, or dissatisfaction in their relationships.
My approach
I tailor my treatment approach to harmonize well with each client’s specific needs, motivation, and treatment goals using CBT, DBT, ACT, and integrative forms of psychotherapy.
My focus
I typically work with clients who are going through life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, or with those who may be seeking meaning or change in their personal and professional spheres.
My communication style
I create a safe and tranquil environment for self-reflection, professional support, and guidance. I connect well with clients, understanding and validating their emotions to facilitate healing and personal growth.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was attracted to a career as a therapist by observing the need for mental health professionals in my community. I am driven to do this work by the positive changes and improvements observed in my clients’ lives.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting within the first or second session, keeping it flexible throughout treatment.
My first session with you
Clients can expect trust and safety as we begin building a strong therapeutic alliance.
