SERVICES I OFFER AND MY APPROACH TO THERAPY: I believe that as humans we were not meant to walk through life alone. Yet, oftentimes when we face the hurt and deep wounds we have incurred over time, we find ourselves feeling isolated and hopeless. More than anything, what we need is the help of others who will delve into these sacred places with us and help us navigate through the uncertainty and emotions that lie beneath the surface. As your therapist and guide, I am here to help carry these burdens with you so you can walk in emotional freedom and get to the root of the pain. I provide a safe space to hear your story as we walk through the pain together. I use a wide variety of therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Christian Spiritual Direction, EMDR, and Trauma Informed Therapy to uncover the belief system that may be hindering your growth process. From there, I assist you in identifying healthy beliefs to create new ways to see yourself and the world around you. My goal is to help you grow from these struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. MY PERSONAL JOURNEY: On a personal level, I understand the journey you are about to take. Growing up in an abusive environment, I lived with perpetual feelings of sadness, fear, depression, and anxiety throughout my life. While most didn't know it, I covered the pain up with a smile, good grades, and hard work. I found myself oscillating between rebellion and pleasing others to feel better about myself. It wasn't until 2006, the year my parents divorced, that I realized I could not continue living in inner turmoil. What felt like the most painful time of my life ended up being one of the most fruitful blessings. I attended my first session with a licensed counselor and, little by little, God began to heal my heart. I am thankful for therapists who gave me time, space, and safety as I processed the hurt I had felt for so long. Throughout the years God brought many wise therapists into my life to guide me to a place of fuller healing. I realized I had to walk through the pain in order to be set free from it. I don't profess to be completely "healed" as I believe the healing journey has no time limit and won't be complete on this side of Heaven. However, I do believe that it is possible to live in greater freedom every single day. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband, stepdaughter, and our cat, Pumpkin. On weekends you can find us serving at our local church or checking out local foodie spots in Katy. For all inquiries, please email me at karlichcounseling@gmail.com or send a text to 346-298-5950.
