I founded Pathway to Freedom because I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate and personalized support on their journey to well-being. My own experiences have shown me the profound impact that counseling can have in helping people navigate life's challenges and discover their true potential.
My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can feel heard and understood, and where we can work together to achieve your mental health goals. I'm committed to providing care that empowers you to live a healthier, happier life. My journey of self-discovery has taught me so much and led me to find inner peace. I believe it is my purpose to guide others by sharing the insights I've gained. Pathway to Freedom is about empowering you to find your own inner peace and live your life at its healthiest and happiest.

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy approach designed to help you heal from distressing life events and trauma. If you're struggling with lingering negative memories or emotions from past experiences, EMDR can provide relief and support your healing. When a distressing event occurs, the memory may be stored incorrectly in the brain, making it feel as though the event is either happening again or reoccurring in the present moment. When a similar or triggering event takes place, the brain is reminded of the original incident and reacts as it did initially.
EMDR helps store the memory in a more functional part of the brain, recognizing it as something that happened in the past. Once a memory is processed, it no longer provokes distressing thoughts or feelings. The memory can be recalled without discomfort, allowing the individual to live in the present without being disrupted by the past.
Karen is absolutely amazing! She is not only a great therapist but also a friend. I feel so comfortable with her and she makes me genuinely feel better when I get off the phone with her. She is a gem!
I have seen over a dozen therapists in my life, and I have never felt so comfortable and safe with one as I have with Azat Karen Jones. She is knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and just the right amount of personal acceptance and accountability that is needed if someone truly wants to change and get the most out of therapy!
Karen has been wonderful. I have been through several therapists and none of them were helpful to me. None of them provided any feedback or suggestions on coping mechanisms. Karen provides helpful feedback, suggestions on coping mechanisms, helpful resources, and education.
