One thing we can be sure of is that we will go through changes, struggles, good times, deep sorrow, and great joy.
People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change their personal or family situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging, difficult, and even painful. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change. I think when a counselor and client both put forth an honest effort, many wonderful outcomes are possible!
My name is Karen A. Cauthen, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have a Bachelor of Science in Religion and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. My approach to helping people is Eclectic Therapy. I integrate multiple psychotherapies from a variety of disciplines to customize the best possible therapeutic process for each unique client. Whether using a single treatment or a combination of treatments, each counseling session and each treatment plan is adapted to the needs and goals of each individual client.
My services are just that, service. My counseling style is pretty laid-back. I have been described as supportive, caring, challenging, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I’m here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I may have an opinion, but I leave judgment to God. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help. I look forward to meeting you!
“"Buried feelings never die. They claw their way out of the ground like "The Walking Dead" and try to eat you." Karen A. Cauthen”
Therapy with me looks like: My approach is fairly simple. I pull skills and tools from many different therapies to customize the best possible treatment plan for each unique client. Each counseling session is focused on understanding and meeting the goals of the client. Whatever the immediate goal is, the long-term goal will always be to provide each client with the necessary skills and tools to be able to face stressful and often scary situations and come through them still standing.
My favorite kids game: "Go Fish" and "Sorry"
Fun fact: I used to play the trumpet and sing in a band.
My favorite hobbies: I enjoy building things and designing "Inspirational" cards.
