Residential Therapist
Lindner Center of HOPE
Karly is a full time Residential Therapist, serving both Sibcy and Williams House at Lindner Center of Hope. She also serves as Adjunct Faculty at Xavier University.
With undergraduate degrees in both Theatre and Interpersonal Communication, Karly employs an innovative, interpersonal, and systems-based approach to therapy. As an avid arts practitioner, she utilizes expressive and creative interventions to initiate change and healing, while increasing inter- and intrapersonal efficacy and functioning. Further, she is passionate about creating a collaborative therapeutic alliance, coupled with evidence-based practices to assess, and address, mental health concerns along the spectrum of the DSM.
Karly has worked in a variety of settings, providing both clinical and consultative services and trainings, short- and long-term treatment, and in varying levels of care. She began her career right at UC Health working in the Employee Assistance Program. She then worked as a Residential Therapist at the Center for Addiction Treatment. After a brief stint in private practice, she has returned to working in Residential Treatment to continue providing excellent clinical care through an ecological and team-based approach.
Karly is planning to combine her areas of study, and advance the field, through further development, outreach, practice, and study within the intersection of theatre, communication, and the art of therapy.
