Hello, my name is Karen Kavaloski and I am a LPC in New Mexico, North Carolina and in Missouri. I was originally licensed as a counselor in 2009 while working in Arizona by the State of North Carolina after making a career change from a almost 30 year history in nursing. My passion since I was a young adult was counseling and it took me almost 30 years to achieve my goal of becoming a counselor. I was a Marine wife for almost 30 years and have traveled allot, I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My youngest, a son, and one of my grandchildren are severely autistic so I can identify with the stress and struggles some families have with managing special needs within their family. I am also a cancer survivor. I believe we all have an ability to heal the body, mind and soul and I consciously strive daily to be an active participant in my life and support and encourage others to do the same. My education beyond my nursing and counseling includes a Masters in Business Administration and a Doctorate in (Christian) Ministries. I have worked primarily over this past 15 years with trauma and substance abuse in the adult population with about 3 years working with the teenage population in these areas. I also have worked about 5 years total with prison reentry and counseling individuals and families with histories of incarceration in state and federal prison. I believe in working with individuals and families to achieve their highest goals. I believe the client is the expert in his/her own life and I fully encourage one to strive to work towards building a strong foundation within themselves and their families whatever that looks like to them, to that end I use focused solution therapy, internal systems therapy, mindfulness/compassion therapy, cognitive and cognitive behavioral, dialectical therapy, emotional freedom techniques and/or neurolinguistic techniques . Outside my therapy practice, I spend my leisure time reading. meditation/praying and gardening. I do light exercise daily.

Hey, my name is Andrew. I enjoy staying active in my free time and my hobbies include running, hiking, reading, and writing. Family and travel are important to me. I have been working in the mental health field for a little over 8 years. I have worked in a jail diversion program for teens, a residential evaluation hospital for children and adults, and a community-based program for at-risk children, teens, and their families. I believe that as humans our identity is very important for our well-being. Understanding our personality in terms of genetic and spiritual factors, our family dynamics, and social connectedness is essential. Having a healthy and positive perspective of ourselves, our lives and our relationships with others can have a big impact on mental health. Our thoughts can be very powerful and I believe they can be a starting point for achieving our highest potential. For this reason, my therapeutic approach emphasizes interventions from Positive Psychology and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. My approach is informed by many treatment modalities including Adlerian Individual-Based Counseling, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Collaborative Problem-Solving, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential Therapy. Therapy is also supported by measurement-based care and informed by neuroscience. In our work together we will take a look at your strengths, likes, and interests and work to maximize them, while also taking a look at daily routines that can build skills in areas of struggle.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 10 years of experience in counseling adolescents and adults. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, coping with stress, spirituality, disordered eating, assertiveness, parenting difficulties, codependency, abusive relationships, family of origin issues, LGBT-related issues, and ADHD. I have also worked with people who have experienced psychological abuse, and issues related to being highly sensitive and neurodiverse. My communication style is gentle, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. I believe in each person’s right to decide what feels right for them, as well as each person’s responsibility to craft durable solutions for a life they can feel safe in and proud of. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, trauma-focused, and solution-focused methods. I also draw from somatic approaches and I offer energy tapping (EFT) to address overwhelming feelings and to shift unhelpful beliefs. This popular process is highly effective at making rapid and noticeable improvements in specified areas.
