What Our Customers Say
"Working with Karen for nearly two years has been genuinely transformative. She brings a powerful range of therapeutic tools that go far beyond traditional talk therapy, fundamentally shifting how I see myself and relate to others. Her work is both insightful and impactful, and what makes it especially effective is how closely she listens and responds—her guidance feels deeply in tune with who I am. That level of understanding has made our work together incredibly meaningful, and I’m deeply grateful for the care and intention she brings to every session."
"I’ve been seeing Karen Schipani-Tedrahn for a couple of years now. I have multiple issues that I had been ignoring for years, including childhood sexual abuse, abandonment issues, and feelings of being invisible and not mattering. It has been a difficult journey, facing emotions that I had bottled up for so long.
I’ve seen many therapists before, but I often felt lost and confused, like no one truly understood me. I was frustrated and ready to give it one last try. That’s when I met Karen Schipani-Tedrahn, and I connected with her right away. She helped me develop tools to work through my pain and understand its roots.
Over time, I began to let my walls down, which supported my healing process. I came to understand that the little girl inside me was scared, and I needed to reassure her that she was safe now. It was a long journey, but Karen was there for every small step I took—steps that eventually became leaps.
I have finally allowed that hurt little girl, who once had no voice, to grow—speaking up and being seen as the strong woman I am today. This progress came through the tools Karen taught me and her ability to truly listen and hear me. I continue my journey because I value our sessions and am still growing and learning about myself."
