About Dr Karen Hawk Gilbert Psychologist

Happiness is not merely a goal; it is a lifestyle.

My goal is to assist individuals who feel trapped in despair. Having experienced this myself, I understand the difficulty of navigating through such times. However, with appropriate guidance and encouragement, it is possible to rediscover hope and lead a joyful, meaningful life.

No situation is too great to prevent you from fully embracing life! Keep in mind this mantra: 'Happiness is a State of Mind.' As a therapist, my goal is to illuminate the path for my clients, helping them uncover their own inner radiance.

Dr Karen Hawk - Empowering You Through Knowledge and Expertise!

I began my professional journey in psychology by obtaining a bachelor's degree, which provided me with foundational knowledge of human behavior and psychological principles. Subsequently, I earned a master's degree in mental health counseling, where I developed practical skills to assist individuals facing mental health challenges through therapeutic interventions.

I pursued further education to obtain a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. This extensive training enhanced my comprehension of psychological disorders and their treatments. It also prepared me to evaluate psychological conditions, make diagnoses, and provide advanced therapeutic care to my patients.

Holistic Approach to Deliver Effective Support

To effectively address an individual's mental health issues and the difficulties encountered by them or their family, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of all relevant details. Therefore, I, Dr. Karen Hawk, utilize a holistic, trauma-informed methodology in conjunction with a range of evidence-based therapeutic practices. In essence, I consider the whole person—mind, body, and emotions—when evaluating and tackling their challenges.

My trauma-informed methodology focuses on acknowledging the extensive effects of trauma and comprehending its influence on a person's thoughts, emotions, and actions.

One person's defeat can be another's victory! You've likely heard this before. In life, if you maintain a negative outlook, you will struggle to recognize the positives surrounding you. I advocate for straightforward solutions to help shift your perspective. From my experience, I've discovered that while two individuals may face the same issue, there is no universal solution that applies to everyone.
