WHAT I DO
Specializing in Trauma & Anxiety Disorders
I offer therapy sessions that focus on trauma and anxiety disorders both in my office and via Telehealth. Beyond the office, I offer specialized consulting and training for coaches and athletes wanting to learn how to utilize sport’s inherent ability to mitigate stress, while also optimizing performance. My mission is clear- your progress is my purpose.
Trauma & Anxiety Recovery
My practice primarily focuses on treating clients experiencing anxiety disorders, often following traumatic events.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a technique that builds on EMDR principles by utilizing specific eye positions to tap into unprocessed trauma in the brain.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences.
Athletic Consulting & Training
Beyond the confines of my office, I offer specialized programming to help bridge the gap between mental health and sports.

Meet Karen Kravec, LCSW
I’m Karen Kravec, a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience in mental health care. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Providence College and my Master’s from Fordham University, which laid a solid academic foundation for my practical work.

I believe in building genuine relationships and taking a compassionate approach to empower my clients in their journeys toward lasting mental well-being and peak performance.
I believe that knowledge is power when it comes to mental health, and I create an environment where you will learn how to grow beyond resilience, often with humor along the way.

GROWTH BEYOND RESILIENCE
Expertise You Can Trust
In today’s fast-paced and often stressful environment, many individuals grapple with anxiety, trauma, and stress reactions that hinder their personal and athletic performance. These challenges can manifest as overwhelming feelings of distress, difficulty concentrating, and the inability to move past previous experiences.
My practice is dedicated to addressing these issues head-on. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their struggles and learn effective strategies to navigate their emotions and thoughts. By employing evidence-based interventions like EMDR and Brainspotting, I help clients break the cycle of pain and anxiety, fostering healing and resilience.
Together, we tackle these obstacles, enabling each individual to reclaim their narrative and thrive once again.
