Getting to know Karen Oconnor

“I am not what happened to me but what I have become.” ~ I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in both Louisiana and Colorado. Karen attended Our Lady of Holy Cross College in New Orleans, La., graduating with an MA has worked in a variety of settings. These include directing residential and shelter programs, mental health rehabilitation, and having 25 years’ experience working with a variety of clients in different environments. I am a Cognitive Behavioral therapist specializing in PTSD, Complex PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and emotional and behavioral issues. My approach I have been a licensed therapist since 2002 as an LMFT. She has worked closely with military families over the span of her career. In addition, I have experience treating patients of all ages from diverse backgrounds. Of interest is that Karen has personal experience with Complex PTSD at a personal level and brings that knowledge, understanding, and authentic expertise to clients in this area. I believe the ability to cope, heal and re-invent ourselves is a combination of psycho-education where the client gains a foundation of understanding of their particular issue, informed guidance and support combined with techniques to use daily to reconnect with ourselves or reinvent ourselves as happy, content and satisfied people where that may have gotten lost or interrupted. My focus If you feel frantic caused to chaos in your life, I can help you. If you have experienced trauma recently or years ago, we will address it. I have multiple educational resources available and years of professional and some personal experience to back it up. My communication style I have known for my ability to connect with clients, putting them at ease and fostering positive and safe relationships with my practical approach to treatment. It does have to be hard when it comes to you through knowledge, tools, and motivation to make changes in our lives.
