Dr.
Karol is a licensed psychologist (PSY 19847) and a certified parent educator.
Her philosophy in working with clients consists of a combination of Gestalt
therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), SE (Somatic
Experiencing), and energy work.
EMDR is a powerful new method of doing therapy. At times, when a trauma occurs it seems to get locked within the nervous system. EMDR works to unlock the nervous system and allow the brain to process the experience and visualize disturbing material in a new and less distressing way.
SE is a naturalistic approach to the healing of trauma. SE employs the awareness of body sensations to help heal people the trauma rather than relive them.
Through the combination of these techniques and the energy work, in sessions you will learn how to center your self within your body, cleanse impurities, and defend yourself from other people’s negative energy.
Dr. Karol is also certified in RCB (Redirecting Children’s Behavior), which is a set of parenting skills. RCB teaches you to redirect your children’s behavior through loving guidance and peaceful conflict resolution.
Dr. Karol has practiced psychotherapy since 1998, and has extensive experience working with children and their families, couples and women in relationships. She has also conducted various group therapies for parents, new mothers, and pregnant women.
