Karen Cowell
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
About Karen
Welcome! I’m Karen Cowell, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to feel heard and understood.
I work with adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions to help you build coping skills, increase resilience, and create meaningful change.
Seeking therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. Together, we’ll work toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you.

What clients say
- “She is so understanding and wonderful.”
- “She is very knowledgeable on trauma informed care, she is down to earth, kind, respectful, very caring and easy to talk to. I struggled to connect with the therapists I was seeing for a long time, and it felt like a relief once I met Karen. She makes you feel heard, seen, understood- and also helps you put a name to the feelings you are having and guides you to process them. I would highly recommend her, especially if you are struggling with trauma because she has that extra knowledge and a solid approach.”
- “Karen Cowell is an extremely professional and very very helpful mental health professional. I am very happy with the work we are doing to improve my life.”
