Kari Englund-Moreton, MSW, LCSW

I strive to provide a warm, safe environment in which you can feel safe to share and process current experiences and past experiences that may be causing difficulty to your system. I believe that positive experiences and relationships are central to trauma recovery and are important to general well-being.  I believe that psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery.  The purpose of psychotherapy is to assist with knowing the self, connecting with your intrinsic goodness, wisdom, and strength and to encourage you to be in consciousness with the self.  

I approach therapy from a trauma informed, holistic perspective that honors all aspects of a person as an integrated whole, using body based somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques at the core of my practice.  When we begin to slow down and explore our mind-body experience with curiosity and care, we can start to notice and transform old wounds and patterns that are interfering with our ability to live a full life of ease, passion, and connection.  I come from a place of co-creating a journey with you that deeply honors the wisdom and strengths you already carry while also encouraging you to be in consciousness with the self: ultimately aiding you in accessing a more balanced, peaceful, and productive life. 

I have experience working with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, substance abuse issues, and other difficulties that were negatively impacting their lives.  I have experience working with adolescents in an inpatient psychiatric setting as well as working with adolescents in a long-term substance abuse treatment facility.  I also have experience working with active duty military members and their families as well as veterans in a housing program.  I have worked in the private practice setting for 3 years and I am committed to my own personal and professional growth to make psychotherapy a creative process, a place of safety and security, where you will not feel judged or criticized.  I look forward to meeting with you.

A note about No-Shows/Late Cancellations:

In the event of a no-show or a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice I will charge a fee to recoup the time and earnings lost. The fee is not intended to feel punitive, but rather to ensure I am able to continue to support my family as a small business owner. I thank you in advance for your understanding of this policy and practice.
