Introduction

Hello! I'm Karen Knappenberger, LSCSW RDT/BCT. I am a clinical social worker and registered drama therapist/board certified trainer who works with adults ready to make a change but not ready, or knowing how to do it alone. I specialize in Women's Health and Sandwich Generation Caregiving. I'm trained in several treatment approaches, specializing in treating trauma, anxiety, depression and life role transitions (chronic health conditions, parenting, career change, college transition/emerging adult caregiving, retiring, navigating health changes, including perimenopause).  I believe that YOU are the expert on yourself and I work with you to determine the best approach for YOU. Currently I offer telehealth sessions for Kansas residents. Clients close to Topeka may elect for walk-and-talk sessions. I am insurance friendly and can assist in accessing your out of network benefits, or you may elect to private pay for services. I am pending in-network insurance approval. Hardship rates are available for eligible clients. ​ ​
