About Karen
Karen Murphree is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with thirty years of experience helping adults navigate life’s hardest moments. She blends practical psychotherapy with a broader focus on body, mind, and spirit. Karen aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what is painful and find steps forward that fit their life.
Karen’s background includes nursing experience and graduate-level studies in natural and alternative healing. Over many years she has developed an eclectic, strength-based style. She combines familiar talk therapy with creative tools such as guided imagery, music, art, movement, and rituals.
Her work uses evidence-informed methods alongside experiential practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her toolbox. She also draws from attachment ideas and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and regulate emotions.
Karen is LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and explicitly affirms polyamory, kink, neurodiversity, and expansive spiritual identities. She encourages clients who have drifted from organized religion to explore their own sense of meaning.
Sessions often include practical education, resource links, and lifestyle ideas that connect food, sleep, and movement with mood and coping. Her goal is to help people identify limiting beliefs and try new ways that actually work for them.
Outside of practice she enjoys animals, gardening, making herbal products, and spending time in mountains and near water. She describes her approach as collaborative and rooted in kindness, curiosity, and respect.
