Karen Motan, PhD

Karen Motan is exactly what everyone has said, compassionate and intuitive. Her understanding of people and her active listening technique makes you realize she understands what you need. She has very practical experience in life and that always builds my confidence when it comes to a therapist. She’s experienced and provides real feedback and shows genuine interest.
I think there is nothing’s better than feeling like you can speak to someone and they help you make changes in your life instead of talking to someone who you feel like you’re just updating every week.
In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

Excellent Couples Counselor. My husband and I have been going to Karen for a few months now and we both could not be more pleased with the new communication tools Karen has helped us discover and develop. Karen is the epitome of a professional, but is also warm and supportive. She does not «take sides» in our disputes, rather, she helps us see our own piece of the puzzle, how to own it, examine it and change it. Her insights are spot-​on and her advice is practical and manageable. I have experienced a tremendous amount of personal growth in a very short period of time working with Karen; our marriage is much stronger and our communication skills have expanded exponentially. Others have said this in their reviews, but it bears repeating — Karen is a truly gifted healer.

An excellent counselor with practical and very useful advice.
