Karen Dainer-Best, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Coral Gables, FL & New York City, NY
I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist for over 30 years, treating adults, young adults, adolescents, older children, and couples. I was in private practice in the South Miami / Coral Gables area for more than 30 years. I am currently seeing all patients online. I am licensed in Florida and New York, and see patients from both states.
Services:
Treatment is tailored to the needs of the individual and may include Psychodynamic or Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or Couples Counseling. My areas of specialization include treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Trauma, Personality Disorders, and Eating Disorders.
Statement:
My goal is to help people to understand themselves more fully, in order to alleviate suffering and self-defeating behavior and to enable them to experience greater satisfaction in their lives. A supportive, confidential therapy environment is essential for accomplishing this.
