Psychologist Karina Kristoffersen McKenzie  - Specialist in clinical psychology 

I was between 2008 and 2015 employed as a psychologist by DPS Strømme connected to Sørlandet Sykehus. As an employee of the hospital at the south of Norway I have worked with treatment of different disorders, and I´have worked with children, youth and adults. During these years I worked four years at a psychiatric outpatient clinic for adults in Mandal, one year at an inpatient clinic for adults at DPS Strømme and one year with children, adolescents and families at ABUP. Between 2015 and 2018 I worked with clients with burnout and on sick leave at Unicare in Kristiansand. I now have my private practice at Helsehuset in Kristiansand, in addition to being in a cooperative venture with Solapsykologene in Rogaland. 

I have advanced training in cognitive therapy, affect consciousness therapy, schematherapy, mindful selfcompassion  og character analysis. I am also a trained art therapist.
