Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
The therapeutic relationship is vital for therapy to be effective. It is also important for the therapist to have great knowledge in the area of focus. Clients often benefit through treatment within the first few sessions. It is helpful to know your goals so that you could assess whether the treatment is helping the progress of reaching your goals.<br><br>I provide a relaxing, and non-judgmental atmosphere. In therapy, you will learn new skills including problem solving, assertiveness, and goal setting. You will learn to communicate more effectively, learn about your patterns, and manage your day-to-day living more effectively. Depending on your goals and needs, the approach used with be customized specifically for you.<br><br>I practice out of two locations: Sherman Oaks and Tarzana. I integrate both Cognitive Behavioral work and Thought Field Therapy into my practice. The latter is a very effective and quick approach for reducing and eliminating fears, anxiety, stress, obsessive compulsiveness, and trauma.

Karen L Kleckner, M.A..

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Walnut Creek, CA

At the core of many personal issues lie old messages of your sense of worth. Those messages conveyed to you while growing-up that minimized your self-esteem. The journey inward toward your past can often be frightening and disheartening. By slowly revisiting the wounded part of yourself, old repetitive behaviors can cease to exist. A new sense of kindness toward yourself will begin to emerge. Allow me to travel with you to discover what is buried deep inside of your soul, exploring what keeps you from becoming all that you want to be.
