Karen House

Karen House is a Colorado-based counselor with 25 years of experience working with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, LGBT issues, family challenges, sleep difficulties, anger, and depression. She maintains a relaxed, approachable style while centering her work on practical problem solving, aiming to equip people with tangible strategies they can use right away.

Her goal is for each person to leave the first session with a couple of tools that, when applied, can ease the presenting problem. Sessions then build on that foundation, expanding the client’s skillset and addressing new issues as they arise. She listens carefully and works to uncover connections and patterns that can lead to meaningful relief. Counseling is collaborative - clients are expected to engage actively between sessions through suggested activities and homework to support their progress.

Karen has particular experience supporting military-connected people, including active duty service members, veterans, Regular and Special Operations Forces personnel, and their spouses and families. She is licensed to practice counseling in Colorado and also holds clinical counseling licensure in New Mexico, reflecting her formal training and state certification to provide professional therapeutic services.

She believes in empowering clients to heal and move through difficulties with strength, integrity, and grace.
