Hi, I’m Kari
I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist who provides support and practical feedback to help patients move their lives forward.
I have a Doctorate of Social Work. I am the previous owner and clinical director of a private mental health group practice that had over 20,000 patient visits before transitioning from a group practice into Kari O’Neill Counseling in 2022. I am an affiliated medical staff member with Swedish Issaquah.
Voted an Issaquah Highlands Connections Newspaper fan favorite.
Ask Kari: How can we refuse an invitation to vacation again with our neighbors this year?
We have lovely neighbors who we spend a lot of time with. Last year they invited us to go away with them on vacation for a week and they have asked us to do the same again this summer. We really like them, but spending a week together full time last year was not fun for us. Our friends fought constantly about everything (the daily schedule, where we went to dinner, and how to take care of their children); it was exhausting and ruined our vacation. When we do things together at home, we just leave them if they start fighting, but that doesn’t work as well when traveling with them. How do you suggest we get out of this invite?
Ask Kari: How can I convince my mother to cut off my brother financially?
My older brother is addicted to drugs and alcohol. He has been using drugs since he was 14 and is now 44. He has been in rehab 8 times and is unemployed. He moved back in with my mom and is using her yet again for money, which she does not have a lot of. He lives rent-free in her house and takes what he needs from her. I have tried repeatedly to get her to see the light and realize that he is using her and that she is codependent to his drug habit but it all falls on deaf ears. How can I make my mother realize that he needs to be cut off?
Ask Kari: My husband is chatting with strange women on Facebook — what should I do?
I am so upset, I was paging through my husband’s Facebook page and I noticed that he chats with a woman I don’t know on his page quite frequently. When I asked him about her, he refused to engage with me. I feel that he owes me this information, since I am his wife. Now, I haven’t been able to think about anything else for the past week, as I am concerned that he is having an affair. What should I do?

What I want patients to know:
1. They matter
2. Their feelings are normal
3. They can move their life forward
4. Say the whole thing
5. Living well is a daily practice
