“Dr. Foster has been an excellent therapist for me. I started therapy with her when I was deeply struggling with OCD and had only just begun exploring exposure therapy. She not only taught me about exposure therapy and the process that we would go through together, but was also a kind, patient, and honest professional to talk to. I have been seeing her for over a year and have seen genuine improvement in my mental health. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with OCD, addiction, anxiety, etc! ”

“Dr. Foster is a fantastic therapist. She has helped me so much since I started seeing her about a year ago. I have been diagnosed with OCD, and she has helped me learn so much about my condition and the best strategies to manage it (ERP).
She is very knowledgeable in OCD, and it has been great to have a support system I can talk to when I am navigating my intrusive thoughts. She has also taught me the importance of giving yourself grace and having gratitude.
I am doing things I never thought were possible and have a positive outlook on life after seeing her. I am so grateful for her.”

Getting to know Dr. Karrol-Jo Foster
I’m Dr. Karrol-Jo (KJ) Foster, a licensed mental health counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, and recovery from substance use and addiction. I use evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies.
I work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, fear, or unwanted habits, and want to create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is structured, supportive, and focused on helping you build practical tools to move forward with confidence.
With over 10 years of clinical experience and a PhD in Counseling, I combine evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, supportive approach that helps clients feel understood, not judged.

Dr. KJ was the most effective therapist I have ever had. I learned so much more about how my brain works and about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and great at tailoring her approach to her client. She blends empathy and a personal touch with highly practical, actionable exercises that have truly helped me learn how to self-manage my OCD. I can honestly say that my quality of life has improved after my sessions with KJ. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with OCD, anxiety, or any other internalizing disorder. She is amazing!

I can't recommend Dr. Foster highly enough. She helped me tremendously through one of the hardest periods of my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for the support she provided.
What really sets her apart is how knowledgeable she is. She doesn't just rely on therapy techniques or theories—she has a deep understanding of the science behind how our brains work and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. That knowledge helped me better understand myself and why I was feeling and reacting the way I was.
She was always compassionate, understanding, and created a space where I felt heard without judgment. At the same time, she wasn't afraid to challenge me when I needed it. She pushed me in the best way possible, encouraging growth while making sure I always felt supported.
If you're looking for someone who is genuinely caring, incredibly knowledgeable, and committed to helping you make real progress, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I've been working with Karrol for about two months, and the progress I've made in that short time has genuinely surprised me. I came to her dealing with OCD, anxiety, and past trauma, and she's helped me make real progress on all three.
What stands out most is how she balances warmth with structure. She's goal focused and validating. I always leave feeling both understood and equipped with tools to help my OCD and anxiety.
If you're looking for a therapist who combines genuine compassion with real clinical direction, I can't recommend her enough. Karrol is a therapist who cares.
