About Karen Phillips, PhD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of experience working with adults and adolescents.  I specialize in trauma-informed brain and body focused psychological treatment.  In addition to traditional talk psychotherapy, I use Brainspotting* as a particular method to help patients heal from trauma, improve performance, and expand health and creativity.

I treat patients dealing with issues of

• personal growth and development
• grief and loss
• trauma and childhood family dysfunction
• dissociative phenomena, parts, and insiders
• death and dying
• destructive cycles in relationships
• self-criticism and negative core self-beliefs
• depression and anxiety
• identity and meaning
• psycho-spiritual struggles
• enhancing performance

*How can Brainspotting help you?  “Where you look affects how you feel.” (David Grand, Ph.D., Brainspotting Founder and Developer).  For more information, visit the Brainspotting website at www.brainspotting.com.
