Getting to know Karen Shinkle

Hi there, my name is Karen. Are symptoms of stress, anxiety, and/or depression getting in the way of you enjoying life to its fullest? Are your relationships or job performance feeling the impact too? Accepting support could be the best decision you make to start heading in a much better direction. I find it to be an incredible honor to get to know clients, no matter where they are on their journeys. I love the process of holding a safe space for those ready to do what it takes to break free of the perceived limitations that difficult symptoms conspire to create-and for those just thinking about getting ready too! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches (including CBT, Nurtured Heart, and EFT), infused with some humor and deep reverence for the clients with whom I have the honor of meeting. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Bryn Mawr College and a Bachelor's degree from Immaculata University. If you're looking for support, even if it's not with me, I hope you take that first step today!

What should a new client know about working with you?

We will work on getting to know where you are at and where you wish to go in our first session and we will establish a plan within the upcoming sessions, and adjust that ongoing as necessary.

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.
