Tired of Holding It In?

You’ve been running on empty for a while. You’re carrying more than anyone sees, and it’s getting harder to keep pretending you’re fine. The same issues keep showing up. The same arguments. The same stress. You’ve probably told yourself you should just handle it, or that others have it worse. But deep down, you’re wondering what it would feel like to finally get support. If you’ve found yourself searching for therapy in Petaluma, you’re already closer than you think. Does any of this sound like you?


  • You feel anxious most days and can’t turn it off
  • Conflict with your partner leaves you feeling hopeless or shut down
  • You’re overwhelmed by parenting or trying to break old cycles
  • Sleep is tough and your thoughts are loud
  • You keep asking yourself why everything feels so hard


You don’t have to keep doing this alone. Together, we can slow things down and get underneath what’s really going on. We’ll start right where you are, with no pressure to have the answers.

Meet Karen Collins, Therapist with 20+ Years Experience

I’m Karen, and I help people untangle the stress, pain, and stuckness that can build up over time. I’ve spent two decades supporting individuals and couples in Petaluma who are ready to feel different, more calm, more clear, more connected to who they are and who they want to be. I bring my full attention to every session.


That means I’ll listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and share honest reflections that help you feel understood. Clients often tell me therapy with me feels like talking to someone who really gets it. That’s the goal.

A friend of mine recommended Karen Collins. My friend sang her praises and he was so right! She helped me recover from my life long depression and anxiety. I had some situational life stuff happening that was quite difficult and Karen was a life saver in dealing with those transitions. My friend who recommended Karen saw her for couples therapy. So apparently, she is great with couples too!

Karen Hamilton has been immeasurably helpful to my son and our family. Skilled and professional, my son always looks forward to his sessions with her, both as he navigated high school and now college. He has some challenges here at home as Dad has significant health issues. We cannot say enough about how much relief it has brought to have someone to buoy our boy while maintaining his privacy, thus enhancing the trust they share and our confidence in the benefits of her treatment.

I have searched for a therapist that I felt comfortable with for so long, and finding Karen has helped me so much over these past couple of months, particularly with the holidays near. I feel that she really understands my issues and cares about seeing me succeed. I have already learned so much from her. She is a good listener and when I think I may miss something important, she will ask me about my thoughts or actions regarding that thing or situation. My time with Karen is very beneficial.

Stop Just Surviving

When stress keeps piling up, it starts to change the way you move through the world. You might start pulling away from people you love. You might start doubting yourself more often.


The longer this goes on, the more disconnected and heavy everything feels. But therapy can offer you a different way. Together, we’ll make space for your story, your needs, and your next steps, without judgment and without rushing.
