Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

Courage and Grit Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, No Frills. No Bullshit. Real Therapy.
No Frills. No Bullshit. Just Jesse.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. What does that mean, Jesse? Well, it does not necessarily mean the obvious. I am a systems-trained therapist, which means that when I work with my clients I look at the overall system that they are operating in. In our work together, clients can expect to take a deep dive into their family of origin and upbringing. We will get curious about patterns that repeat in your family and how to break patterns of generational trauma. We will talk about attachment wounds and do our best to heal the deep rooted pain. We will also take a look at your life currently and explore together what healing looks like for you.
