MFT Karen Flynn, MFT
Specialties: Couples Counseling, Attachment Issues, Depression, Family Conflict, Marital and Premarital,

Introduction

I am passionate about my work and dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families repair and strengthen their relationships using evidence-based approaches. My specialty lies in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman-focused techniques, and I bring both extensive education and practical experience to these modalities. I am certified in EFT for couples, individuals, and families, and have received clinical training from UCSF's Infant-Parent Program in San Francisco, The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley, and The Women's Therapy Center in Berkeley. I offer relational work tailored to couples and family members—including adult children and their parents. Grounded in attachment theory, my approach recognizes that we are inherently wired to connect, and that disruptions in key relationships can lead to both emotional and physical challenges. I believe that repairing connections is a learnable skill, one that can foster resilience and deeper, more authentic relationships. Recognizing that every therapist’s approach is unique, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to explore whether my style aligns with your needs. If you are seeking greater authenticity and honesty in your relationships, please reach out—I look forward to connecting with you.
