“I see Karen’s work as holistic. Our work together has encompassed examination of my childhood as well as marriage and family issues which have influenced my daily life. I began my work with Karen in response to addiction issues in my family. I found her to be straightforward and compassionate as well as insightful from the beginning of our work together. I returned because I had the sense that Karen had a deep understanding of the issues that I was facing and I was right. Karen has helped me integrate parts of myself through the exploration of long standing issues and family patterns. Prior to my work with Karen, I was unaware of how these issues infiltrated all parts of my life. I now feel more peaceful and my work with Karen has had powerful and positive influences in my family and professional life so that I can respond to events and issues in my life with more clarity and less reactivity.”

“Put quite simply, Karen Levin saved my life. I was on a fast track to self-destruction in my late twenties when I first met her; I was frightened, isolated, trusted no one, and was fully prepared to die. As a child who had grown up in an alcoholic environment, I had learned at an early age to hide – even from myself. My fear and shame were all-consuming. Karen was the compassionate, consistent, trustworthy figure I had always needed, and under her care I slowly felt safe enough to come out of hiding. With insight, intuition, and patient guidance, Karen helped me to excavate the root causes of my behavior and accept myself exactly as I was at any given moment. Her non-judgmental approach to the process allowed me to be less critical of myself as I stumbled along the path to healing. Putting my trust in her, she guided me to eventually put trust in myself. She gave me the tools I needed to move forward in the world without crippling fear. Life now is not something to be avoided – it is beyond my wildest expectations. As I continue in my emotional growth, Karen’s versatility and scope of knowledge become even more apparent. She has been able to meet me exactly where I am and intuitively provide exactly what I seem to need at the time, so I continue to learn and grow. I feel so lucky and grateful to have Karen in my life!”
