									<p>Dr. Karen Bisgay specializes in psychotherapy with adults, ages 20-120. Her general approach involves helping people who feel “stuck” in their lives and experience emotional suffering to become more self-confident, peaceful, and better able to reach their goals. Dr. Bisgay teaches her clients to live more in the present moment without judgment and helps them to let go of suffering that they have been holding for years. As a result, clients develop adaptive coping skills, self-acceptance and clarity regarding what is meaningful in their lives. As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Bisgay provides individual and group therapy, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting.</p>								</div>
