Karen Salsman

Hello, my name is Karen Salsman. I completed my Master’s of Science in Education for Counseling at Missouri Baptist University in 2008. I became a fully licensed therapist in the state of Missouri in 2010. From 2008 until 2015 I worked as a Counselor/Case Manager at an outpatient mental health clinic. I also worked as a Counselor in a prison from 2015-2021. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and trauma issues. I have experience working with adults from different cultural backgrounds and ages. I will show you the respect by getting to know you as a unique individual. My approach in therapy is to utilize CBT, Mindfulness and Solution Focused therapies. However, as I get to know you, there could be a type of therapy that works better for your situation and we can adjust as needed. “Don’t let the entire staircase overwhelm you. Just focus on that first step….one step at a time.” I would love to be that someone to help support you and to be part of your journey towards the goal of a more fulfilling life.
