It's time to put yourself first, and I'm here to help you do that. With my experience working with adults from a diverse population, I understand how difficult it is to prioritize yourself in life which can lead to depression, anxiety, emotional distress, and unnecessary stress.

I believe our mental health is key to living a healthy, productive life. I support people who may find themselves stuck in guilt, shame, denial, complacency, anger, anxiety, depression, or patterns that are affecting their relationships and day-to-day life. I work with clients navigating family issues, identity concerns, trauma, PTSD, panic, grief, and stress that can leave them feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. I enjoy being on the journey with individuals as they work through their issues and become the version of themselves they already knew existed.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) with 15+ years of experience across school counseling, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. I hold an M.Ed. in School Counseling and am a Certified School Counselor (1–12). I provide individual telehealth counseling and specialize in supporting students navigating school reintegration after hospitalization, residential placement, or extended absence.

Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!

I know starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re expected to open up to someone you’ve never met. I try to make that process easier by being approachable, genuine, and down-to-earth. You don’t need to have the right words, know exactly what you want to work on, or show up with everything figured out.

I’ve been a therapist for over 16 years, and I value creating relationships where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My style is warm and conversational, and humor has a place in therapy when it feels natural. I want you to feel like you’re talking with a real person, not someone who is analyzing everything you say from across the room.

I work with people from many different backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I’m especially comfortable talking about topics people sometimes find difficult to discuss, including trauma, sexuality, relationships, identity, shame, and the parts of ourselves we don’t always share with others. Whatever brings you to therapy, you’ll be met with curiosity, respect, and without judgment.

"Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of your thoughts and experiences? You may appear to have things together on the outside, while internally feeling stuck, anxious, on edge, or unsure of how to move forward"

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, and life transitions. Together, we create a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, process what you're going through, and begin to show up in your life with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

You look like you're holding it together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted.

Maybe your mind never shuts off. You replay conversations, expect the worst, overthink every decision, or feel constantly on edge. You put everyone else first, struggle to set boundaries, and wonder why you keep ending up in the same painful relationships or patterns. You tell yourself to "just move on," yet your body still reacts as if the danger never left.

Trauma doesn't always look like one big event. Sometimes it looks like years of feeling unseen, walking on eggshells, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional neglect, or growing up believing you had to earn love by taking care of everyone else.

The truth is, you're not broken. Your brain and nervous system learned how to survive. The problem is those survival patterns can keep you stuck long after the danger is gone.

As a Neuroscience-Informed Trauma Specialist, I help adults understand why they feel the way they do and, more importantly, how to change it. Using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, attachment-focused therapy, and nervous system regulation, we'll work to reprocess painful experiences so they stop controlling your present.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, therapy is more than talking about your week. Together, we'll uncover the root of what's keeping you stuck, quiet the constant mental noise, help your nervous system feel safe again, and create lasting change from the inside out.

You deserve more than simply surviving. Imagine waking up without constant anxiety, trusting yourself again, setting boundaries without guilt, building healthier relationships, and finally feeling like your life belongs to you instead of your past.

Healing is possible. You don't have to do it alone.
