Getting to know Karen Richardson

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. During difficult times, we can all benefit from compassionate, professional support. Whether you’re experiencing distress, overwhelming stressors, or navigating painful emotions, therapy can provide a safe space for healing and growth. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with a relational and strengths-based lens. Together, we’ll explore ways to reduce and manage symptoms, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to help you engage more fully in your life. Our work will honor your unique experiences -mind, body, spirit, and community - and help you reconnect with your inner resilience and sense of hope. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in both IL and IN, and certified domestic violence professional with over 30 years of experience in both urban and suburban settings. I’ve supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, grief, and loss. I also work closely with parents to build confidence, strengthen family relationships, and navigate the challenges of raising children with mental health needs. Therapy is an act of self-care and empowerment. My goal is to work with you towards healing and meaningful change.
