Today we’d like to introduce you to Karmen Tuivai.
Hi Karmen, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am the owner of Magnolia Tree counseling in Provo Utah
We are a group of therapists who care deeply about our community and we have formed a caring group of therapists who want to help our community
I formed Mgnolia Tree counseling after my son was missing and died on a hike and our neighbours in Provo gave us a Magnolia Tree as community support for our loss. I decided to make it the name of my therapy practice. With the same feelings of wanting to support our community.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My son died and I have lived OCD which meant my fear of losing the people I love happened.
B it through our Therpay group we have been helping people with different mental health issues — and it’s been positive.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a therapist and I am trained to work with people with OCD and I love what I a
Do
I am also EMDR certified and IFS informed.
And ART trained.
I have. A lot of experince helping people with their stuff!
What matters most to you?
My relationships matter most to me because when you lose someone you love it becomes more apparent that what matters most are the people you surround yourself with.
Magnolia Tree is based on what I learned as a greiving mother. That is we can care about our community in a way that makes lasting change and therapeutically this brings lasting change to others.
