What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi, I am Karen Galvin, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana. I have provided 30 years of service for children, teens, adults, couples and aging populations. My experiences as a clinician include home-based counseling, outpatient therapy, residential and long-term psychiatric treatment and hospital care. My training and practice experiences bring a strong developmental background, with ability to serve a broad range of issues throughout the life span with care, compassion and competence.?
My counseling style is positive, strength based, collaborative and flexible. I strive to meet you where you are, listening and assisting you to understand yourself and others better, and to work through challenges to cope effectively and thrive. I want you to look forward to your sessions and feel yourself grow in confidence and capability.
Some tools I may bring to assist you in meeting your needs and reaching your goals include a person-centered approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution focused therapy, EMDR, Gottman Method, hypnosis and mindfulness. I will tailor strategies and treatment plans with you to meet your individual needs and style.
Friends, family (including pets), community and time outside help me recharge. Cooking and sharing good food, trying something new and seeing new places keep me motivated and content as well. I strongly believe these things are a necessity, so I look forward to getting to know what's working in my clients lives and at how to gain more of that.
Congratulations on taking this step to create the changes that will lead to more happiness and satisfaction in your life. I am here to encourage, mentor and support you in this important journey. I look forward to getting to know you and watching you grow.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
