I've been helping individuals and couples for 25 years to improve relationships, heal from trauma and abuse, eliminate self-destructive behavior patterns, overcome codependency and addiction, and generally feel more secure. As a therapist, I am interactive, down-to-earth and practical.
I believe therapy is a co-creative process, and I take great care to ensure my clients develop practical tools and strategies to help them thrive personally and in relationship.My core belief as a therapist is that change and growth are an inside job. When people feel unhappy they often look to other people, career, money or substances to make themselves feel better, but this doesn't work long-term and creates dependencies that harm them.

I do not recommend Karen Wise to anyone. My daughter and I went to see her because of a recent conflict we were having. Halfway through the session, Karen told my daughter that she would need to cut me out of her life (because I didn't see things in the same perspective as my daughter). That should never even have been an option as a solution! My daughter and I are close and have been able to resolve previous conflicts that we've had, so why would Karen even suggest something like that? There were a few other red flags that I saw, but this was the one that bothered me the most.

My mother (Leigh Ann) posted a one start review for Karen, whom I consider I be very helpful in my healing process.
My mothers review is a reflection of her inability to take accountability and disregard for truth and facts. Apologies to Karen for getting caught in the cross fire of our family feud.

We went to see Karen Wise who immediately sized us up and decided for herself that we shouldn’t he married. She talked about things we “need” to do but then when I asked for actions items or exercises she said it didn’t work that way. She basically wasted our time for $150 an hour. I do not recommend her to anyone unless you want a divorce.

I've been in therapy in NYC and Denver for most of my adult life and my time with Karen continues to be the most transformational. Karen is helping me unpack trauma that I've run from all of my life and is doing so in a way that is direct, yet tender (a wonderful theraputic combination, in my opinion). Karen is getting at layers of me that other therapists haven't been able to reach. She challenges me to do the hard work required to heal and I've never felt more supported. She is helping to open doors and clear hallways to help reduce chaos and add more authentic love. I work with Karen not only

I have been working with Karen for the last three years and am a completely different person because of her wisdom and knowing for exactly what I need to heal. I always joke that there is a reason her last name is Wise. :) From the get-go I felt safe with her. I never felt a match with other therapists and was about to give up when I happened upon her. I am so grateful. She gave me the tools I needed and helped me to feel confident again as a mother after some severe family mental health issues with my children. She validated my feelings, as well and brought me back from the brink of hopelessness

I have been seeing Karen for almost two years, on a weekly basis. She has walked me through the hardest part of my life, been there as I walked through the fire, guiding me towards true healing and helping to create the shifts that i have desperately sought my whole life and couldn't with other therapists or groups. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
