Karen Shay

Registered Psychotherapist

Hi there! My name is Karen.
I'm a registered psychotherapist with a unique background (M.A. in Art Therapy, New York University). I offer online & in-person talk therapy to adults of all ages facing various life challenges & transitions.
I get a great sense of fulfilment helping clients integrate their life experiences into positive & meaningful personal narratives by setting goals & regulating emotions. In our sessions we will explore the underlying causes of your distress while also building skills, fostering growth & improving self-esteem.
Modes of therapy include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), psychodynamics & mindfulness.
Contact me today and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
