Pivots Potential Team

Karen Quiles, LCSW-C

Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here

If you are carrying the weight of past trauma, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling to feel safe in your own body, please know this: you do not have to navigate this journey alone.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in PTSD and trauma recovery, passionate about helping individuals move from surviving day-to-day to truly thriving. My work is rooted in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care—recognizing how our unique backgrounds, family dynamics, and lived experiences shape the way we process pain and heal.

My Approach to Trauma Healing

Trauma changes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Healing isn't about forgetting what happened; it’s about freeing yourself from the grip it has on your present.

In our work together, I combine evidence-based trauma treatments with a warm, collaborative, and grounded therapeutic approach. We will move at a pace that feels safe for you, using modalities tailored to your needs:

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): To help unstick complex thoughts and beliefs around safety, trust, and self-blame.

  • EMDR & Somatic Integration: To help your brain and body process distressing memories without overwhelming your system.

  • Culturally Grounded Care: Honoring your identity, heritage, and values so you feel fully seen, heard, and respected.

As a Latina therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where culture, family expectations, and identity don't have to be translated or explained. My goal is to provide a grounded, compassionate space where you can let your guard down and begin the work of reclaiming your peace.

Healing is hard work, but you are worthy of a life that feels safe, joyful, and deeply peaceful.
