Karin is incredibly kind, supportive, and good at what she does! I was nervous when I decided to begin therapy but she let me share at my own pace and helped me to feel at ease right away. Not only is she an expert in her field, but she is also very responsive as she continued to communicate with me on the app between our sessions. I highly recommend!!

Hi! I am Karin, a Licensed Therapist in Pennsylvania. This has been my life long dream, to be a counselor. When other kids were playing house or school, I was playing psychiatrist - though I am sure I didn't know how to spell it then! I used to write letters to my cousins that read more like a Dear Abby advice columnist than a kid's communication with their bestie. I poured over advice columns in teen magazines like, "was my face red..." and never cared about the current fashions as much as "could this marriage be save?"! So here I am, years later, living out my passion and realizing that I don't have the advice, nor do I want to! But that I have a listening spirit and clinical skill that can be of help to anyone that needs it. I lean toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but simply put, that means that there is a connection between what you think and then how you feel. So if you don't like how you feel, we look at what you are saying to yourself and if that is helping you to feel the way you want to feel or not! Pretty simple really. I want to help people feel as good as they possibly can right now... with the circumstances they have and with the past they have lived through. And it is possible to have lived through some really bad things and still have peace and serenity in your life. If you are not convinced, that could be a good reason why you need to work with me. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Karin Fils-Aime is a great therapist who has taken her time to really listen to me and have gave great coping skills to use. I feel heard with her and my anxiety actually feels at ease when speaking with her when compared to other therapists I have had elsewhere. She’s overall great, understanding, calming, and understanding.
Karin is kind and attentive. She is a good listener and offers opportunities for me to problem solve my issues and concerns.
Karin is the first therapist that I've ever had that i didnt feel judged, or like I was an inconvenience. She really listens to me, she offers both, advice and solutions. She always makes me feel like I can handle whatever my issue is, and she teaches me how to do that. And no matter how small the issue is, she hears me out and doesn't make me feel like im being over dramatic. She is legit amazing and I love having her as my therapist.
So far so good!
She is easy to talk to, friendly with a great sense of humor.
I love that she not only adds a Christian base to therapy but a little humor as well which helps me a lot. She is fun while helping me open up and see things didn’t realize where an issue for me
Karin is the perfect combination of Faith-based and Therapy needed to try and navigate my life challenges as a Christian man.
She’s a boss, terrified of therapy for years and now I’ll never quit. Can’t wait for every session.
Love talking to her. She understands the intricacies of what I'm trying to convey and gives me so much to think about. She's a real pro!
So far so good. Karin listens attentively asks questions and gives her advice. We've talked through some light issues I've been dealing with. I'm looking forward to continuing therapy.
