Karen Welch Buttars, LMHC
Introduction
Do you find yourself constantly worrying, overthinking, or feeling like you are falling short. Welcome! Maybe you're the person everyone depends on, yet inside you're exhausted from carrying so much. You may struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or an ongoing sense of pressure that never seems to let up. Externally, your life may appear successful and put together, but internally you feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from yourself. You know something needs to change, but you're not sure where to begin. You may also be navigating a major life transition, relationship challenges, burnout, or a season of feeling stuck. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don't have to figure it out alone. My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate and effective therapy that helps you understand the different parts of yourself that shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Instead of judging or trying to get rid of the parts that create anxiety, perfectionism, or self-criticism, we'll explore them with curiosity and compassion. As we understand what these parts are trying to protect, healing and lasting change become possible. Together, we'll create a space where you can slow down, gain clarity, develop greater self-trust, and reconnect with the calm, confident Self that already exists within you.
