Getting to know Karen Richardson
Hello, I'm Karen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 24 years of experience in behavioral health care. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with children and adults in various settings, including inpatient and outpatient environments, community mental health centers, and in-home therapy. My journey has also taken me through unique experiences in criminal detention, family court services, and intensive outpatient programs for dual diagnosis clients—those dealing with both substance abuse and mental health needs. I hold a bachelor's degree from Furman University, a Master's degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a post-master's certificate in marriage and family therapy from the University of Louisville. My expertise spans mood disorders, anxiety disorders, child/parenting issues, and issues related to divorce. Additionally, I have a broad range of knowledge in grief, trauma, mood stability, and mental illness symptomatology and treatment. My therapeutic approach is centered on building skills to help you meet your goals, improve your self-experience, and navigate life more effectively. I believe in fostering thought patterns and supports that instill confidence and resilience. I utilize various therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused approaches. My specialized expertise includes addressing family, couples, and parenting dynamics, especially in families with foster care or adoptive components. Throughout my career, I've worn many hats—minister, educator, social worker, and counselor. These roles have enriched my perspective and equipped me to assist others in living their best lives and finding contentment. If you're looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to support you through life's challenges, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to build a brighter, more fulfilling future.
