Karrington Pease

Karrington Pease

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.

I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!
