Dr. Karla Mowdy

About Us

Karla’s goal is to create an environment that is comfortable, empathetic, safe, and non-judgmental. Her approach is informed by her work witnessing the ways in which many aspects of life (housing, work, economic security, racial identity, gender identity, and sexuality) impact mental health. She takes a strength-based approach that is client-centered and works with people to determine what tools work best for them at the time; healing is not always linear. When psychiatric symptoms are too overwhelming and difficult to be addressed with psychotherapy alone, many clients may seek treatment with medications. , " As a Psychiatric APRN, Karlas specialty is psychiatric medication management. She provides psychiatric assessment to determine diagnosis, and explains the risks and benefits of different treatment options. Her goal for you is to understand and feel comfortable with the treatment options that are available so that you may live your best life. ", Karla’s passion for mental health comes from seeing friends and family struggling, as well as the stigma and what the lack of treatment can do to people and families. It can feel stressful, lonely, and confusing when facing mental health issues; Karla hopes to create a space that feels supportive, no matter where someone is in their journey.
