Karen Cooper has a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Seattle Pacific University. She is a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in working with people who have been affected by sex addiction, substance use disorders, trauma (including combat trauma, medical trauma, first responder trauma) and co-occurring mental health issues like depression and anxiety. She is certified as an EMDR Level II clinician. She has additional training in Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention and other mindfulness practices. She is a registered Substance Use Disorder Professional in the state of Washington as well as a Washington State-approved clinical supervisor. She has worked in the field for over twenty years including private sex addiction practice, treatment centers, inpatient psychiatry and emergency rooms, and outpatient substance use disorder treatment.
Karen has been fully trained and certified as a sex addiction therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals in 2015. She has worked with thought leaders in the field of sex addiction such as Rob Weiss, Phd, LCSW, CSAT-S. Karen enjoys working with addicts utilizing the trauma focused task based model in the CSAT training. She has facilitated men’s sex addiction recovery groups, and worked with shared clients with Heidi Kinsella in a private sex addiction practice. Karen is currently undergoing CSAT recertification.
Karen has been in recovery since 2012 and understands the sometimes complex road in recovery for those individuals who experience substance use disorders, sex and love addiction, trauma, and mood and anxiety disorders like PTSD. She believes the path of wellness involves addressing all of the issues that get in the way of a wholly lived life with quality sobriety. Sometimes there is past trauma that has not been dealt with, and becomes a trigger for use of substances or sexually compulsive behaviors. Other times, individuals have undertreated mood and anxiety disorders that can also trigger these destructive behaviors. Whether you are new to recovery, or you have been sober for awhile and need some help with sexual compulsivity, that is causing damage to you, your mental and emotional health, and your relationships, Karen is here to walk along side of you on your road of recovery.
