Dale Ann Karl, LCMHC

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NC, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, graduating cum laude with distinction in psychology, and went on to complete a master’s degree in psychology with a focus on counseling psychology from Union Institute and University.

Since 1984, I’ve worked across the field of human services, gaining experience in social work, rehabilitation counseling, college-level psychology instruction, and both personal and career counseling.

Now in private practice, I offer therapy that is tailored to each person’s unique needs. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in compassion. Drawing from a range of complementary methods, I help clients identify their strengths and take meaningful steps toward personal growth.

I love watching people grow and being part of the process.  I view the individual as coping with life in the best way he or she knows how, and view the individual's difficulties as understandable responses to life situations. Together, we begin to understand the difficulties, where they come from, and then move through them to a happier, healthier place.
