Hello and thank you for checking out my personal information on the platform of Better Help. My name is Karen A. Owen Jiménez, I am a bilingual clinical psychologist originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, currently licensed in the state of New Jersey. I have over ten years of experience helping my patients understand their emotions and their personal situations in order to work with them to become better versions of themselves. My education, training and experience in the field of clinical psychology has provided me with a solid background in individual, adolescent, couples and family therapy.

I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced complex trauma. Also, i work with clients that experience anxiety and depression. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between the client and therapist. My role is to work with my client at their own pace to reach their personal therapeutic goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Comical, caring and knowledgeable are the top characteristics I would describe Dr. Jimenez by. She is always quick to respond to patients and flexible to accommodate any time frame/special needs her clients desires. There have been sessions where I can video chat with her 9:00 PM at night because that's the only time that lines up with my schedule, and there are days when we text back in forth when I can't find time to talk with her over the phone, but still need to reach out to someone for guidance.

I came into this program with a myriad of concerns. Dr. Jimenez has helped me to prioritize my life goals and start to accomplish the necessary tasks to succeed in them. These goals are my primary focus right now and the Dr. has helped me through some really tough spots and continues to assist me through others. She has been an amazing support and I don't think I could be doing what I am doing without her help. I have many other issues that I need to tackle with her and look forward to doing so as soon as possible. However, right now, the prioritization of these near-term goals is the only thing I care about. When I have brought up some other things, she has been more than helpful. Returning my focus to the tasks at hand while helping me cope with the other things that are cropping up. I could not ask for a Better experience and Dr. Jimenez has been perfect.
