Karin Fils-Aime

Karin Fils-Aime is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 22 years of professional experience. Her interest in counseling traces back to childhood curiosities about advice columns and interpersonal problems, a thread she followed into a lifelong career. That early fascination translated into formal clinical training and two decades of practice supporting people through a wide range of concerns.

Karin works with issues that include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating concerns, parenting struggles, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas listed for her practice include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, domestic violence, family of origin challenges, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, life purpose, mood disorders, and panic disorder.

She leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as primary clinical approaches. Karin describes her work as grounded in listening and clinical skill, collaborating with people to examine patterns of thinking and to address difficult past experiences while attending to current circumstances.
