Karen Smigelski

Licensed Professional Counselor

ART Trained Therapist
As a trauma-informed LPC and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with over 20 years of experience, I help clients ages 10 and up navigate life’s toughest challenges. In 2011, I founded WillowsEdge Counseling and Healing Arts Center, serving Oxford, Lapeer, and Romeo, Michigan. With a background as a former art teacher, adjunct professor, and counselor in the justice system, I bring a creative, grounded, and holistic approach to therapy.

Specialties include:

Addiction & Recovery: Substance abuse, gambling, and anger management.

Mental Health & Neurodiversity: Trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and chronic health issues.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you heal, adapt, and thrive.
