Karen Haines provides psychotherapy to individuals age 18 and up.

​

      Hello! I am Karen Haines. I work as a Registered Psychotherapist licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

 

My psychotherapy work has a Trauma Therapy focus.

 

I often employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy in work with clients and I engage in regular professional consultation to ensure that my clients benefit from the highest standard of safe and effective care.

​

My passion is to provide psychotherapy to individuals; assisting you to build a more fulfilling life in today’s challenging world. 

​

I offer therapy to address the after-effects of trauma including, short-term stabilization work to aid with depression, anxiety, self-injury, grief, and emotional distress and longer-term therapy to work on attachment and trauma related relational wounds. I draw from a wide range of training and best practices to help you move forward in your life.

​

At Western University, in London Ontario, I earned a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Nursing. I am now retired from my nursing career.

​

My ongoing study in mental health and trauma therapy has focused on: Developmental, Attachment and Trauma Theory, Stabilization and Trauma Treatment, Imaginal Nurturing, Developing A Secure Self, Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

​

I have worked in mental health care in Southern Ontario at the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Hamilton Family Health Team, London Health Sciences Centre, and My Sisters’ Place, London.
