Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi, I’m Karen Tabloff, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker at Gathered Connections Counseling in Goodyear, Arizona. I work with children, adults, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, or major life transitions.
I believe therapy should feel comfortable, supportive, and human. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can feel understood, talk openly about what you are experiencing, and be yourself without judgment. I bring warmth, compassion, and a gentle sense of humor into the therapy room because sometimes a little lightness can make difficult conversations feel more manageable.
I have extensive experience in hospice and bereavement care, which has deeply shaped the way I support clients coping with grief, loss, caregiving challenges, and changes within the family. I understand that grief does not follow a set timeline, and I work with clients at their own pace as they process difficult emotions, adjust to change, and find ways to move forward while honoring what they have experienced.
My approach to therapy is practical, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from brief therapy, cognitive-based strategies, and creative therapeutic approaches to help clients better understand their emotions, develop useful coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
The therapeutic relationship is an important part of the healing process, and I strive to build a connection grounded in trust, respect, and authenticity. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, navigating relationship concerns, or adjusting to a major life transition, you do not have to work through it alone.
If you are looking for a therapist in Goodyear, AZ for anxiety, depression, grief counseling, relationship support, or life transitions, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater balance, healing, and connection.
