Our Approach
Therapeutic Approach
Karen’s therapeutic work is based on Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy(PIT) ®.
Pia is a pioneer in the field of addictions and relational trauma. She remains a fellow and world-renowned expert at the Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona. Karen began her training in Pia's model in Arizona in 2009. Pia’s therapeutic work explores the clients' childhood background and how less than nurturing and or traumatic events can create impaired relational and intimacy issues.
Our Story
More About Pia's Model...
The core of Pia's healing model is to help her clients “remember” their inherent worth, develop a system of personal and interpersonal boundaries, and function in a mature manner in all relationships.
The therapeutic alliance and work create deep and lasting healing in the lives of her clients. This healing ultimately opens space for spirituality and the awareness of inner peace.
Additional Training and Methods of treatment
Karen has a degree in Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She has received training in hypnosis from the Milton Erikson Institute in Dallas, Texas in 2007. Recently, she completed an EMDR training in 2019. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
