About me

I am licensed in Florida with 19 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I feel working with teens is my most accomplished area . I enjoy watching a youth gain benefit from the helping process and develop and increase their coping skills to make changes to make healthier and better decisions with their choices that will shape how they problem solve and increase their insight. I am liberal and nonjudgemental and enjoy being able to support youth in finding solutions to their concerns. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Birchette. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

Written on Dec 27, 2022 after therapy with Karen for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and adhd

When I was first placed with Karen Birchette, I told her that I didn't like therapy due to past bad experiences; she acknowledged my concerns but, somehow, she got me to open up about my issues in our very first session. I was extremely comfortable speaking to her, as if she were an old friend.

Karen is a very kind and relatable soul who is very quick to realize the root of an issue. With her gentleness, she was able to help guide me to certain self-realizations which lead to solving my larger problems as a whole.

I couldn't recommend her enough and believe that, with her patience and support, others would
too have a good experience with therapy as I did with her.

I really enjoy talking with Karen. She does not judge me at all. In fact she pushes me to strive to find self love and allows me to train my brain to think differently in certain situations. She calms me down whenever I call her with an urgent matter and I appreciate how she is able to do so! She is great!
