Getting to know Karen Hummel
Hi there, I'm Karen!
My name is Karen Jeanne Hummel (but I go by KJ). I am a licensed clinical psychologist, and my calling is to help people discover their unique strengths and inherent wisdom so they may meet challenges successfully and understand themselves more clearly from new and positive perspectives. I teach and practice Positive Psychology, emphasizing mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection.
My approach
In listening to people, I often find that they do not give themselves enough credit for their character and abilities. My goal is to help them see their strengths more clearly. Depending on current struggles, I may focus more on thought processes (a cognitive approach), life stories and self-perceptions (a narrative approach), or immediate coping strategies (a solution-focused approach). Any approach I may take is rooted in a Humanist philosophy, providing empathy, compassion, and respect for each individual in the midst of whatever concerns they have and whatever circumstances they are navigating.
My focus
I most often work with adults ranging from college age to later life stages. I have a long history of working with others on identity clarification, career exploration, anxiety and self-doubt, relationships, communication, coping skills, and spiritual understanding.
My communication style
My intention is to be very present during sessions, focusing not only on what a person is saying to me but also on what they may be trying to convey beyond their words. My hope is that those who meet with me feel relaxed, heard, understood, and accepted. I prefer a less formal and more comfortable interaction style.
My journey to mental healthcare
I possess a long-held passion for seeing people discover and embrace their strengths, often transforming from a stance of self-doubt to a place of self-acceptance and celebration. Although my doctorate degree and training are in the realm of clinical psychology.
