Karen Smillie

Virtual therapy focused on relationships is the core service. Karen Smillie, a licensed marriage and family therapist, works with couples to explore communication, needs, desires, fears, and relationship patterns. Sessions address anxiety and security, shared values and dreams, and ways to communicate more openly. Her approach varies by client and includes advanced training and supervision in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which focuses on building secure bonds between partners. The practice is sex positive, anti-racist, affirming of queer and transgender people, and kink and poly friendly. Karen provides therapy virtually from San Francisco.
