Getting to know Karen O'Brien
With all of life's uncertainties, it's easy to lose focus on your well-being, but every person deserves to be happy. My central goal is to help my clients explore what will bring them greater happiness. If you find that you're still carrying the weight of past trauma, loss, failed relationships, or other stressors, I can help you put down that baggage so you can focus on the present and leave the past behind. I strive to ensure that all of my clients feel understood, respected, and heard. As our rapport develops, I want you to feel comfortable opening up, knowing there will be no judgment from me regardless of what you are struggling with. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University, which has equipped me with the skills to support you effectively. I'd love to hear from you and help you on your journey to a happier you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
For many, the thought of beginning therapy can be scary. It's hard to know which therapist to pick, it can be intimidating meeting someone new, and for those who have never tried therapy you're not really sure what to expect. There's also many families and cultures that still consider seeing a therapist as taboo. I'm here to walk you through those apprehensions and to show you that if you're ready to do the work and commit, engaging in therapy can truly change your life for the better. In our first session, I will review the symptoms and stressors you're currently facing, and explore your goals for therapy with you. From there, we will go over different options to help you meet those goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
