About Me

Hello! I'm Karla Drake, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about guiding individuals on their journey toward holistic health and well-being. I believe in the immense potential for healing and personal transformation, and I'm dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space where you can explore your concerns and achieve lasting change.

My Approach

My holistic approach to psychotherapy considers the intricate interplay between the mind, body, spirit, and environment. I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to heal traumatic experiences
• Gestalt Therapy to cultivate mindful awareness and presence
• Neurofeedback Therapy to regulate emotional and cognitive functioning
• Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to release emotional blockages
• Enneagram personality model to gain deeper self-understanding

What I Treat

I support individuals struggling with:

• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Eating disorders and body image issues
• Relationship problems
• Grief and loss
• Emotional regulation difficulties

My Philosophy of Wellness

I believe true wellness extends far beyond the absence of disease. It encompasses a harmonious balance between the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of your being. My goal is to empower you to:

• Strengthen your sense of self and resilience
• Develop effective coping mechanisms for stress and adversity
• Enhance your emotional intelligence and communication skills
• Optimize your physical health through mindful nutrition and movement
• Connect with your spiritual side and find meaning in your life

Collaboration and Empowerment

I believe therapy can be a collaborative experience where we work together to identify your unique needs and create a tailored treatment plan. I will support you every step of the way, offering encouragement, guidance, and practical tools to empower you on your journey toward wellness.
