Challenging the Status Quo
A History of Compassion and Empowerment
Karuna Counseling's origins stem from 1974, a period of immense social change. Founded as a feminist collective, we were driven by a passionate vision to provide accessible and affirmative therapy to women and the LGBTQ+ community. While our reach has evolved over the years, our core values of inclusivity and radical compassion remain firmly rooted in our practice.
Our Approach to Therapy
We believe in the power of "compassion in action" to facilitate healing and growth. This principle underscores our therapeutic approach, where we meet clients with understanding, non-judgment, and genuine empathy. We prioritize a holistic approach that considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
The Significance of Individuality
Recognizing that each individual is unique, we treat the "whole person" rather than just addressing isolated symptoms. We consider the intricate interplay of culture, class, race, gender identity, physical ability, sexual orientation, and spirituality in shaping our therapeutic approach.
