Karen Perlman, LCSW is a seasoned clinician, with over 3 decades of experience, who works with individuals, couples, families and groups. Her early training from NYU Silverman School of Social Work, and Ackerman Institute for the Family informed her treatment as a family systems therapist. In more recent years, she has incorporated an evidenced based approach using CBT to treat depression and anxiety, as well as a relationship model that helps her clients disentangle from power struggles and learn skills for more effective communication. Professionally trained as an ADHD coach, she often uses coaching in combination with CBT for her clients with executive function challenges. With expertise as an integrative nutrition coach, she naturally employs a holistic approach to her understanding and treatment of a variety of emotional and health oriented issues. Currently, she is deepening her expertise in helping patients with OCD using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). She is guided by her keen intuition and strong knowledge base in a variety of therapies, deep empathy and sense of humor, when helping her clients achieve their therapeutic goals and ultimate potential. As a therapist with a disability, she has a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering and has learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities,"
