about me

Hello, I am Karen A.F., (LMHC, LCDP)

I am the owner of K.A.F Counseling and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in Rhode Island; who has training in anger management, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders.

I use techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management therapy, trauma intervention, and dialectical behavioral therapy, to name a few.

I am a humanistic counselor inclined toward the teachings of Carl Rogers, the godfather of therapy, who believed that a counselor should treat all clients with unconditional positive regard and help each client discover that the answers to their problems are within them.

I believe that a counselor’s job is to help them unpack these answers and also positively endorse and edify the client.

My focus is to provide my clients with a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe, peaceful, and positive environment, so we can explore their life’s issues as we together work on the answers.

Let me help you to explore your inner world of the mind and emotions and help you to meet life’s challenges as you discover how strong you really are.
