Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
Everyone needs to be understood.
We all have a right to have peace and satisfaction with ourselves and the life we lead.
Each human being has a unique makeup with different needs and issues, whether it be motivational, inspirational, emotional healing, tools for a relationship, or spiritual support.

It is my utmost priority to make myself available as an instrument for maximizing the potential of every person that comes to me for help according to mutually derived goals. To do this, I furnish a warm supportive, and non judgmental environment. Drawing on many years of personal experience and training, I exercise great sensitivity to approach the client in the manner he or she is most sync with. I look forward to working with you!

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.
