Introduction

I’m Karen Tessandore, a Licensed Professional Counselor, providing therapy via telehealth to women statewide in both Alaska and Colorado under the business name Counseling for Her. Why Counseling for*Her*? Being a woman is a distinct cultural experience, with financial, medical, social, physical, and political aspects that affect our mental health. We deserve specialized care that reflects those needs. I’ve chosen to focus my training and career on looking at mental health through the lens of this cultural experience, and feel privileged to do so. You are the expert on your own life. I bring psychological expertise, from a feminist perspective. Let’s partner together to prioritize healing and growth. I’m excited to see what’s next for you! Insurance Note: Although my practice is self-pay, as an out-of-network provider my services are widely covered and reimbursable by many insurance companies, depending on your specific plan. (See my website for questions to ask your provider: https://counselingforher.com/rates) Staying out of the insurance process frees me up to remain creative and responsive as your therapist, allowing me to deepen my therapeutic knowledge, improve my skills, and stay fully present and available for the small group of remarkable women I serve.
