Karen "Ivy" Hylton

Karen "Ivy" Hylton, LICSW, brings four decades of professional practice to work with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep disturbance, depression, and compassion fatigue. Based in the District of Columbia, she combines clinical perspective with coaching skills to support those managing workplace pressures, caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness or pain, and the life changes that come with divorce or separation. Her approach acknowledges strengths clients bring to challenging situations and emphasizes collaborative planning toward more grounded daily routines.

Hylton has developed a practice that includes Sound Healing, Holistic Methodologies, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra. She offers focused support for concerns such as isolation, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Hylton frames professional coaching and therapeutic work as complementary paths, drawing on her background to tailor sessions to the needs named by each person seeking help.

Those who begin with Hylton will find a practitioner who values the courage it takes to reach out and the expertise each person brings to their own story. Materials and exercises that reflect holistic practices may be introduced alongside conversational therapy and coaching to address immediate symptoms and longer-term goals.
