About

My name is Karen Walter. I am a licensed mental health counselor in MA and ME. I identify as neurodivergent, and have lived experience with many of the challenges you may want to work on. That said everyone's journey and perspective is unique, and I am a good listener. My goal is to help you identify your unique strengths, develop new skills, and reach the goals you have for yourself. As a clinician, my style is warm, direct, and empathetic. I look forward to joining you on your journey!

Education & Licensure

M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Salem State University; B.A. in English / Creative Writing from Trinity College

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic adults comes from my desire to help others by providing the support that previously was not available to kids and adults with autism. I understand how difficult it can be to have a brain that works differently in a neurotypical world, and want to help create a safe space where neurodivergent adults feel more seen and heard.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I strive to be observant, thoughtful, and kind, and to help clients find balance, support and understanding. We will work together towards goals based on your personal values and the change you would like to create in your life.
