Karen Kerschmann, LCSW

Karen is a great therapist. She made me feel completely at ease with the hypnotherapy process. I was skeptical but interested in hypnotherapy, I wasn’t sure if I could be hypnotized, but I’m glad to say I was wrong. Karen did a great job at explaining the entire process to me before starting our session. I was impressed with her ability to ask questions that got to the core of what I needed, so she could work with me effectively. My sessions were on stress reduction and relaxation, and I felt great after each. She included posthypnotic suggestions that were very helpful. Also, unexpected, but very helpful were the homework assignments. I have seen therapists in the past and have never had «homework». I found this very helpful in maintaining my progress and to help me further explore my issues. If you are in San Diego or even the surrounding area I would recommend Karen if you are looking for a «regular therapist» or hypnotherapist is you are in need of one.

When I visit San Diego, I always try to meet with Karen. She is an experienced therapist, who exudes empathy, genuineness, and respectful interest in our discussions. She is always attentive and provides specific insightful feedback without any judgment. At times, Karen challenges me and my beliefs, which usually results in me seeing another perspective to the issue at hand. Her commitment to her work is evident as soon as you meet her.
