Getting to know Karen Thornton

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been licensed since 2011. Throughout my career, I have worked as a behavioral case manager while using my therapy training to support, guide, and advocate for clients through many different life challenges. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and individualized to meet each client’s unique needs. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches to help clients gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to walk alongside each client as they work toward becoming their ideal self, achieving personal growth, and experiencing greater self-fulfillment. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I am committed to creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and encouraged to accomplish all they hope to become.

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.
