5 star rated on Google

With over a decade of experience in social work and trauma-informed care, I help adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. My practice is built on the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow when given the right tools and guidance.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns, build emotional resilience, and rediscover balance. I provide culturally responsive care and a safe space where clients can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Clients often describe our sessions as empowering and restorative. Together, we focus on building practical coping skills, improving communication, and fostering self-awareness to create lasting emotional growth.

    If you are looking for a counselor, look no further. Karon is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. His therapeutic approach comes from an authentic desire to guide clients to the strength they have within to shape the life they desire. He is approachable and down to earth and he never makes anyone feel judged, shamed or less than. Each time I see him, I leave feeling empowered, confident in my abilities and hopeful for a bright future.

    Karon is honestly amazing! He is easy to talk to, understands in a professional, yet kind manner, and genuinely wants to help his clients! He has always checked back in to see how things were going. When I had no clue as to which way to go, he listened my present problems in life, found different resources to help along the way, and reassured me that things will get better with time! They did and I seriously can't be more grateful for Karon!

    Mr. Hopkins was great therapist. He was able to help me during a tough time during personal and professional transitions. I feel more confident with the coping strategies to help with my anxiety. Mr. Hopkins is definitely a counselor for the working people with his flexible hours after work and weekends. I would highly recommend him for anyone in the community.

    I've had the opportunity to work with him and I couldn't have had a better experience. He listens and uses real world examples to help people with their issues. I've seen many counselors judge others and their situations, but Mr. Karon is very nonjudgmental and wants to help you. Honestly, meeting with him you'll feel like you're talking to a close friend and not a counselor.
