The Heart is the Capital of the Mind

The Heart is the Capital of the Mind --
The Mind is a single State --
The Heart and the Mind together make
A single Continent --

One -- is the Population --
Numerous enough --
This ecstatic Nation
Seek -- it is Yourself.
--Emily Dickinson


Welcome


Karen Fraley, experienced psychotherapist, specializes in counseling and psychotherapy for adults and couples, in Exton, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 19341. If you are searching for help with depression, anxiety, stress or relationship problems, I can help.

Difficult experiences in your life can bring up emotions that may feel powerful and scary. As a therapist with 16 years of practice and training, I can help you get comfortable with all aspects of yourself, as you begin to move towards the goals you want today.

Many of my patients function well in life but they still don’t feel good about themselves inside. They say they just don’t feel right. I am good at helping those who have a vague feeling of not being where they want to be, as well as those who are articulate and directive.
I focus on the present, basing our work on what you want to accomplish and change and will help you navigate past stuck places.

If you are someone who has been in therapy before but are still not satisfied with your life I may be the right therapist to help now. My patients often tell me that, “Although I have seen other therapists, no one has ever been able to make the connections and help me get the perspective you do, Karen.”

My patients also appreciate that I am punctual, organized, and help them understand the process of psychotherapy.

I know that picking up the phone to call me may be a hard step to take. It's an important action, and I want you to know I return calls quickly so we can set up our first session as soon as possible. Please call me at 610-827-1641 when you are ready, so that we can start to help you have an easier, calmer, more peaceful life.

  • Most therapists have been in therapy themselves and this is an important part of learning to be a therapist.

  • A therapist will help you determine your goals and how to reach them.
