I’m Karli Watkins, a Licensed Master Social Worker in Flagstaff, AZ. I received my MSW from California State University of Long Beach, close to where I grew up in Southern California.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a diverse range of individuals and families experiencing hardships and traumas, including homelessness, criminal justice, severe mental illness, poverty, substance use, and more. 

I am trained in various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Informed Care and EMDR.

I identify as a peer, meaning that I have experienced mental health and relationship challenges of my own. This experience contributes to my approach in therapy: to create a safe, non-judgmental, and genuine space for each person I get to meet with. My goal is to meet people where they are at with the hope to grow together into a more fulfilling future. I hold it as a privilege to be a part of helping others achieve more meaningful, empowered lives.
