"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin Hello. My name is Karen Gano, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Australia. I received my Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, and I have over 30 years of clinical counseling experience. My specialty is what I call Empowerment Counseling. I have a Motivational Interviewing style, and I use Compassion-Focused, Client-Centered, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Mindfulness, and Strength Based therapies to assist clients in improving their outlook and life. I have a holistic and goal oriented practice, working primarily with women who are going through some type of life transition whether it be separation, divorce, career changes, relocation, empty nest, illness, etc. I also provide counseling to healthcare workers as I have been a practicing medical social worker throughout my career, and I have worked in trauma, emergency medicine, critical care, oncology, palliative care, and domestic abuse. We can all benefit from talking to someone now and again. It is my primary goal to empower clients so that they can build and expand their "team," discover their voice, increase self-awareness and esteem, and make wanted changes in their life. My professional and personal mantra is "Self-Care + Time = Healing." I can help you with healthy coping strategies and tools to guide you from surviving to thriving.

Hi, my name is Amber and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for Florida and Maryland who obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I am focused on improving the overall well-being and mental health of my clients through evidence-based practices. I have hands-on experience with individual, couples, family, and group therapy for numerous diagnoses including mental health and substance use disorders. I try my best to stay on top of demands in fast-paced environments by keeping up-to-date with training on topics such as suicide prevention and crisis management as well as other crucial therapeutic interventions. I am reliable and ready to take on challenges using problem-solving and task-prioritization skills to help clients become better versions of themselves. A therapeutic safe space is what is strived for in every therapy session. I have previous experience working from ages 5 to 95, but do best with children, teenagers, and young adult needs. My niche includes emotional management, stress management, child-centered play therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. If it sounds like we will be a good fit, please reach out as I would love to help you on your therapeutic journey! ** Please contact me directly to schedule an appointment. I have specific times that work best for live chatting (usually between the hours of 8 am to 9 pm). I accept first come first serve; therefore my availability week to week may vary. Communicating directly with me for scheduling is ideal so that I can also accommodate as much as possible to your availability. Thanks! -Amber

10 years offering treatment
I am a licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist, Health Psychologist, and Military Psychologist with 10 years of experience and a Doctorate of Clinical (Health) Psychology, who takes a neuroscience approach to behavior. I specialize in severe mental illness, including depression, anxiety, trauma, medical illness adjustment, and eating disorders and related issues (i.e. behavioral management of diabetes and weight-loss). I also specialize in neurocognitive disorders, including ADHD, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, and memory disorders of advancing age, dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases. I work from a biopsychosocial orientation and believe in identifying purpose and meaning in life in order to overcome personal challenges, while helping you address biological causes to your behaviors and emotions. I adjust treatment based on individual differences, with a respect for personal needs and culture, and value your ability to become autonomous and independent in life enroute to your own personal definition of self-actualization. Doing so requires acknowledging your past psychological influences and decisions, their impact on your present state, and an appreciation of how these factors can influence your physical and psychological health in the future.
