Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
I work with individuals on a variety of issues including relationship concerns, depression, bereavement/loss, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, end of life issues, caregiver stresses, and life transitions. I am especially interested in working with couples in all stages of relationship, and families in all stages including parenting, blending families, launching children, and divorce and co-parenting concerns. My work also include children and adolescents with difficulty coping with the divorce of parents, emotion regulation and expression, conflict resolution, self-esteem and behavioral problems, weight issues, social skills, and other daily life conflicts unique to their age. I take a collaborative approach to treating children and adolescents, working together with a child’s parents and their educational system to achieve the most positive outcome. The use of spiritual disciplines is an important component of my practice for those clients that desire to incorporate them into their therapy process.

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.
