WHAT YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING
Maybe you’ve spent a long time wondering why life feels harder than it seems like it should.
You might feel things deeply, notice what others miss, or find yourself overwhelmed by things that don't seem to affect other people in the same way.
Maybe you've learned to get through life by overthinking, people-pleasing, masking, or constantly paying attention to what everyone else needs.
And even when things look fine from the outside, you might feel exhausted from trying so hard to keep up.
You might recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
Chronic overwhelm Burnout and nervous system exhaustion
Masking or over-adapting Anxiety and overthinking
Sensory sensitivities Perfectionism and self-monitoring
Feeling “too much” or “not enough” Difficulty trusting yourself
Imposter syndrome A history of trauma
You don't need to work harder at being someone else. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and find ways of living that feel more like your own.
YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR PACE
The work we do together.
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and I don't believe it should be.
Our work is shaped by your experiences, your needs, and what feels important to you. Sometimes that means talking through patterns you've noticed for years. Other times, it means slowing down and paying attention to what your body and nervous system might be telling you.
We work together to find an approach that feels meaningful and genuinely useful in your life.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
A space to explore your experiences without pressure to mask, fit in, or change the way your mind works. Together, we can make sense of patterns, sensory needs, relationships, and the ways you've learned to navigate the world.
Somatic Therapy
Sometimes understanding something intellectually doesn't change how it feels. Somatic therapy brings attention to the connection between your body, emotions, and experiences, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
EMDR Therapy
Difficult experiences can continue to affect how we feel, respond, and relate to ourselves. EMDR offers a structured approach to processing distressing memories and experiences, at a pace that considers your needs and readiness.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Karen.
I'm Karen Bommentre, a licensed marriage and family therapist, somatic therapist, and PhD student in somatic psychology.
I work with highly sensitive, deeply feeling, and neurodivergent people who have spent a lot of their lives trying to understand themselves or figure out how to fit into a world that doesn't always make room for their needs.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in somatic psychotherapy, neuroscience, and curiosity about the ways our experiences shape us.
I believe therapy should be a place where you don't have to mask, perform, or become someone else to feel understood.
A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH
What guides my work.
01 - COMPASSION
You don't have to prove that your experiences are difficult enough to matter. We approach what you're going through with care, respect, and without judgment.
02 - CURIOSITY
Rather than assuming something is wrong with you, we explore your experiences, the patterns you've developed, and how they've helped you navigate life.
03 - INTEGRATION
Understanding yourself is one part of the process. We also make space for how that understanding shows up in your body, relationships, and everyday life.
04 - AUTHENTICITY
Therapy isn't about becoming who you think you should be. It's about understanding yourself more fully and finding ways to live that feel true to you.
BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE
You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
Starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions. You might not know exactly what you need or even how to put what you're experiencing into words.
That's okay.
We can start with a conversation about what's been going on, what you're hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
