Karin Tonkin, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
Read Full Bio
Dr. Karin Tonkin is a licensed psychologist with over 8 years experience providing individual, group, and family therapy. Dr. Tonkin’s specialization is working with individuals who struggle with body image, anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.
Given that eating difficulties do not exist in isolation, Dr. Tonkin also has interest in the areas of depression, anxiety, and trauma. Dr. Tonkin believes that the therapeutic alliance, the relationship between client and therapist, is the foundation to change. When a strong, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic relationship is established individuals feel safe and comfortable to discuss difficult issues and challenge themselves to make changes.
Dr. Tonkin believes that the goal of therapy is to empower individuals to reach their desired goals by identifying negative emotional states that contribute to the reliance on unhealthy behaviors to cope and reflect on internal and external issues that negatively impact their quality of life. Dr. Tonkin assists individuals in replacing unhealthy coping strategies with healthy behaviors and attitudes.
