Owner/Founder
Karen Rivas Cobar, LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked in mental health for 13 years. I have extensive training in using Attachment work, CPP, and EMDR modalities in clinical care. I have also taught courses in multiple university programs focused on child abuse, clinical diagnosis, and clinical care in a community setting. I have helped hundreds of people of all ages to heal from trauma, distress, divorce, immigration issues, abuse, difficult family dynamics and life stressors. The work with my clients focuses on the release of anxiety, reducing depression or changing unhealthy coping or behavioral patterns. I specialize in treating trauma, healing relationships, and helping my clients come into their own strength and power so that they can live the life they want and dream of.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help individuals of various ages process and overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, grief, stress, relationship issues and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, strength-based and client-centered, blending evidence based techniques with a warm, supportive presence to help individuals build skills, gain insight and move toward a more fulfilling life.
