Karen Huie, MS, LMFT

Karen Huie, LMFT, offers compassionate and individualized mental health care to adults and seniors across California through LifeStance Health. She supports patients navigating challenges such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression by providing a safe, welcoming environment where they can explore their experiences and build skills to enhance their quality of life. Karen utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide patients toward greater resilience and emotional wellness.

Karen is especially passionate about working with individuals exploring gender identity and supporting women through life’s unique challenges. She is dedicated to creating affirming, inclusive spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals and women feel seen, understood, and empowered. Through both individual and group therapy, Karen helps patients deepen their self-awareness, strengthen self-compassion, and develop tools for navigating identity, relationships, and transitions with confidence and authenticity.

In addition to treating anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, Karen offers specialized care for a range of other emotional and relational concerns. She tailors each treatment plan to align with the patient’s goals and lived experiences, ensuring a collaborative and supportive journey toward mental health. Karen’s approach is deeply rooted in empathy, clinical expertise, and a commitment to patient-centered care for the diverse communities she serves in California.

Outside of her work as a therapist, Karen enjoys spending time with loved ones, exploring new cooking and baking recipes, thrifting, reading fiction, and engaging with the outdoors and gaming communities.
