She began her post-graduate training in a community mental health setting and has worked as a military and family life counselor providing in-person counseling to active-duty service members and their families in Europe, Asia and the United States and maintains a private practice. Karen is a Massachusetts LMHC, has her LPC in Alaska and is permitted to practice psychotherapy in Germany by the German Department of Public Health.
