Karen Wolfe

Karen has a wonderful passion for working with children and adolescents in therapy! Her warm and engaging presence makes it easy for both parents and children to work with her. Having trained with her as a colleague I fully trust her skills and experience and happily recommend her to families looking for therapists for their children.

My son Adam loved Karen Wolfe’s summer program and says it was really fun! He
especially liked that it was in a playground, and that it was a small group with lots of attention from Karen and the other teachers. Here are his words: «I think it’s good because it encourages children to learn and to be polite in a social community. We read a book about a character called Superflex and his enemies, The Unthinkables, and we also did plays about that book. It was fun.»
As a parent, I was so impressed at how, in such a short period, Adam began to apply his new skills both at home and at school. At home, Adam became much more tolerant with his brother. I even slept in for the first time in eight years due to lack of sibling conflict in the morning. This was incredible!
At school «I made many more friends,» reports Adam. «Karen is nice, and she doesn’t get mad when you do something you’re not supposed to. She also has a very helpful reward system.»
Karen has structured the ideal environment in which to encourage social and emotional growth in children. She is warm, caring, nonjudgmental, and an expert at supporting kids and parents in navigating the ongoing challenges of growing up. Her program and consultation services are highly recommended.

Karen is like a child whisperer. In a one hour talk she gave me great parenting tools and a better way to think about discipline as a parent. If you’re having trouble as a parent, she will help you feel more confident and less discouraged. She’s extremely knowledgeable and also warm and relatable.

I have a pediatric office in the City and I have been working with Karen to co-​manage patients for about 3 – 4 months. What I found is that Karen is extremely passionate about her work and is always striving to expand her professional knowledge. She is a very patient, understanding and compassionate person. I feel very fortunate to have found a genuine and caring place to refer my patients, where I know they will be welcomed with a warm smile and treated with the highest respect.

Our family has been working with Karen for the last couple months in her Lafayette office. I have to say that in all honesty compared to ALL the other interventions/​methods we’ve tried (including meds) I have seen the MOST results come about from my child’s sessions with her. She is extraordinarily loving, engaged, and knowledgeable about kids and what makes them tick. She really is a natural in every sense of the word. If you have a child who needs a little extra help navigating through the challenges of childhood then a person like Karen can truly change everything for the better. I don’t expect that our issues will be solved immediately but it is very nice to see a light at the end of the tunnel ;-).

Karen worked with our son at his school and at home and she was wonderful; responsible, respectful and full of insights into the social situations of school in general. She was also great at helping our son puzzle out problems as they came up and was great with teachers, staff and other parents, and all the kids.
