How likely are you to recommend Karen Forsthoff?
I worked with Karen for about a year and a half. At the time that we started our sessions, I was stuck in an abusive relationship, felt deeply unhappy, and was floundering in many aspects of my life. Karen provided a space for me to listen, learn, and connect with myself and my body. She was always punctual, kind, attentive, and thoughtful in her communication. She never told me what to do or tried to diagnose me or force me in a direction-- she gently but firmly nudged me to make my own decisions to improve my life. Our work together completely transformed the trajectory of my life-- she helped me heal past trauma, inspired me to make changes that ultimately benefited my life, and taught me techniques to manage my depression and anxiety. I recommend her with full confidence and wish I could still work with her even though I moved out of state!
