Karen Elliott, LCSW

I walk with families and individuals facing the realities of Alzheimer’s, helping them cope with the changes it brings to memory, identity, and relationships. Together we explore ways to ease stress, strengthen support systems, and nurture meaningful connection. My approach is compassionate and practical, aimed at reducing isolation and helping you find resilience and moments of peace along the journey.

I walk alongside adults navigating the changes that come with aging—loss, caregiving, shifting roles, or health concerns. Together, we honor the wisdom you already carry while making space for grief, hope, and new possibilities. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to face this season of life with resilience and peace.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it helps clients see the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful patterns and learning new skills, my clients gain practical tools to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, and grief. CBT offers structure while still being flexible, allowing us to focus on what matters most to you and create lasting changes in daily life.

I specialize in supporting individuals and families facing Alzheimer’s and related dementias. My professional training and years of counseling experience are enriched by my personal journey as caregiver to my father, who passed from Lewy body dementia. This blend of expertise and lived experience allows me to offer compassionate, practical support—helping clients navigate memory loss, caregiving stress, grief, and the complex emotional impact of dementia.

I help adults navigate anxiety with compassion and practical support. Drawing on years of professional experience and understanding life’s challenges, I guide clients through worry, rumination, and overwhelm. Together, we explore triggers, develop coping strategies, and create space for calm, confidence, and clarity, helping clients feel more in control and at peace in their daily lives.
