Licensed Professional Counselor
Daring Way™ Trained Facilitator
Karen Conklin-Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Daring Way Trained Facilitator providing confidential therapy for individuals and couples throughout Denver, including City Park, Central Park, Cherry Creek, Wash Park, and Sloan's Lake.
City Park Counseling helps clients work through stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and the emotional strain that builds up when you are managing a demanding career, a marriage, parenting, and personal expectations all at once. Through individual therapy, couples and marriage counseling, and pre-marital counseling, Karen combines emotional insight with practical strategies that help clients communicate better, break unhealthy patterns, and build more meaningful connections at home and at work. In-person sessions are available at the City Park office, with virtual appointments available on a limited basis for individual clients when scheduling requires it.
Many of Karen's clients are high-functioning professionals such as executives, physicians, attorneys, business owners, and parents- all who are used to carrying significant responsibility while quietly managing stress, overwhelm, or disconnection underneath the surface. City Park Counseling offers a confidential, nonjudgmental space for people who are ready for greater clarity, stronger relationships, and a more sustainable way of living.

Evidence-Based Therapy (The Daring Way™)

My Approach
Integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with practical, real-world insight to support meaningful, lasting change for individuals and couples who are ready for something to shift.
Evidence-Based Clinical Therapy
We integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed) parts work, somatic grounding, and Gottman Method couples therapy. This blended, custom approach targets the distinct layers of nervous system arousal, emotional habits, and concrete communication tools that are central to relieving both intense personal stress and high-stakes relationship friction.
