About Karon Hopkins
Karon Hopkins

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.

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! - Tyisha H.Happy Client

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. - Joey DockeryHappy Client
