Karen Gonzalez Videla, RMHCI
Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern
Karen is an Argentinian therapist who has lived in Florida for over a decade. Immigrating to the United States while growing up gave her a different perspective on life and she uses that experience as motivation to learn about different cultural realities in the counseling setting.
Karen employs a humanistic approach first that prioritizes empathy regarding these lived experiences and places clients' wants and needs at the forefront of the therapeutic journey. She also incorporates evidence-based approaches like reality therapy and solution-focused therapy that focus on goal setting and implementing life changes. Additionally, she believes in the power of nature-inspired interventions and will be happy to incorporate those with clients who want a therapeutic approach rooted in environmentalism.
If you are struggling with general anxiety, eco-anxiety, the immigrant experience, or recent life changes, Karen will work with you to help you manage these and become the best version of yourself that you can be. Karen offers individual counseling sessions in both English and Spanish.
