Karen Stewart, LCSW

Welcome

I offer professional support, an experienced ear, and a compassionate, open heart for those ready to reimagine their lives. We’ll work collaboratively to create greater access to all that you truly are. I especially enjoy working with those committed to personal growth and collective responsibility, as I believe we are all interconnected, and thus so is our healing.

About

As a mental health psycho-social support specialist, I have 30-plus years of experience in a wide variety of settings, from community mental health to hospital psychiatric emergency. I identify as queer and prioritize creating safer LGBTQIA+ spaces. For 10 years, I served as a mental health specialist for Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontiéres - MSF) throughout Asia and Africa. I am also in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol, a certified meditation teacher, and an experienced psychonaut. I specialize in the preparation and integration of the psychedelic experience and offer the therapeutic modality of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I am licensed in CA & CO and draw from many tools and modalities, including (IFS) Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

Background

Treatment Approach

A medicine journey can be life-changing. We can prepare for and integrate these experiences in a fully supported way. Let’s take the transcendental and make it practical for your everyday life.
