Karen Lese-Fowler
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
I have a longstanding commitment toward embracing and affirming the many identities that are important to college and graduate students.
Hello! I'm a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Working with college and graduate students has been an emphasis in my work, and during my career I worked in five different university counseling centers. I have a strong commitment to diversity, broadly defined. My work combines ACT/mindfulness approaches along with a relational/interpersonal perspective, with influence from traditional CBT as well. I am EMDR trained and greatly honor working with those who have suffered from traumatic experience.
