Karen Motan, PhD

Specialties

Over 15 years experience providing compassionate and effective psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Over the years, I have guided countless clients into a life of hope, happiness and deep well being. I believe that there is incredible transformation that can happen when you find a therapist who understands you, who helps you make sense of your suffering, who gently and persistently offers you a way out of the pain, conflict or confusion. This is my commitment.

A bit about my background; I received my doctorate from the California Instituted of Integral Studies, a graduate program that focuses on the integration of mind, body and spirit. Along with my psychotherapy practice, I also supervise and teach therapists-​in-​training at the Marina Counseling Center.

On a personal note, I have been happily married for 15 years and have an 13 year old son. I love my work, and find it a privilege to support and guide my clients, and to witness their journeys of healing and transformation
