Counseling
One beauty of being human is we have the capacity to change. We can be frustrated and discouraged by our current state, but we never have to settle and stay there. It's not easy to heal, but as long as we are breathing on our own, we can do it. We need support, kindness, patience and the help of a skilled counselor. That is what you will find at Journey Forward. Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. You need a counselor with the education, training, and style that fits your unique situation.
Counseling Focus
Dr. Karen Thacker is a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in several effective methods, including: EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Compassion Meditation, and Yoga.

Often, trauma, whether severe or mild, can interfere with our ability to maintain healthy relationships. Dr. Thacker combines her knowledge and wisdom, with compassion. She will meet you where you are and journey with you on your path toward healing.
