Kari Black, LICSW

Psychotherapist
MN
Change is never simple, especially when substance use, trauma, or justice involvement has shaped your story. I approach therapy with the belief that every person has the capacity to grow, no matter the barriers they face. Using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I help individuals build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward lives that feel meaningful and sustainable. I have worked in diverse settings, including schools serving youth involved in the legal system, high-intensity residential treatment centers for substance use disorders, correctional facilities, and with families navigating the juvenile justice system. These experiences have taught me that healing and change are possible when people feel both supported and challenged in ways that respect their dignity. I hold a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University and a Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kansas. I am licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker and Alcohol and Drug Counselor. My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes trauma-informed care, accountability, and the power of community in recovery.
