"I Cannot Teach anybody anything. I can only
make them think."

About Karen

I earned my Master’s degree from Saybrook University, located in San Francisco, California.  Saybrook University is a Humanistic school, and as such, I learned to focus on the strengths inherent in each individual, couple, and family.   My fundamental belief is that people are innately good and that psychological and mental problems often stem from a rigid or outdated coping system.  In therapy, I highlight each individual’s growth and emphasize the importance of self-actualization.  In couples’ therapy, there is an emphasis on learning to listen to the emotional truth of the other, while also gaining greater authenticity in expressing one’s own truth.  Through self-awareness and genuine appreciation of one another, couples can learn to re-create, or perhaps experience for the very first time, true understanding, connection, joy, and love.

Please visit my “Individual Therapy” and “Couples Therapy”  pages to learn more about how I approach individual and couple therapy.  To contact me for an appointment or for any other reason, please call and leave a confidential voicemail at (907) 727-7253, email me at kcunningham511@gmail.com, or visit my “Contact” page and fill out and submit the form.  I will get back to you within 48 hours.  Thank you!

Welcome:

Do you want to live more wholeheartedly? Do you want to improve your relationship with yourself and others? YOU CAN, and I would love to walk alongside you as you do.

Living life on life’s terms can be challenging at times, and everyone has times when they feel stuck, anxious, or hopeless. However, you can develop what it takes to face the challenges and even experience peace and joy along the way. Together, we can navigate the journey toward growth and healing.

When you are ready, I am here for you!

Bio:

I am a mom of 2 young adults and 1 teenager. I love hiking, biking, and connecting with people in my community.  I graduated with honors from the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Capella University. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, relational issues, attachment issues, phase of life issues, and grief. I completed post-graduate training in the Gottman Method, EMDR, and Discernment Counseling (for couples on the brink of divorce).

I believe in the inherent goodness and capability of humanity. I believe everyone has unique strengths and limitations, and achieving peace in our lives requires us to embrace both. We can learn to love others in their imperfections as we embrace our own; without tolerating abuse or causing harm. I enjoy working with couples, individuals, and families.

I am a very open-minded and non-judgmental therapist who wants to help you explore the thoughts and feelings you do not easily share with the world. My goal is to provide you with the right tools to help build a healthier relationship, not only with yourself but with others. We all know that “life is going to life,” so I hope you will allow me to make life more manageable and help you build the life you have always envisioned.
As one of my favorite Star Wars quotes says. “You will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view.”
