Private Practice

My name is Karen Reimers and I’m a board certified psychiatrist. In my private practice, I work with with adult patients and groups.

As a psychiatrist, I bring experience from thousands of patient encounters. My patients are my greatest teachers. Using a variety of approaches including psychotherapy, I can help people overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, and other mental health problems. It inspires me to see my patients recover and regain their quality of life.

Here are a few of the things I believe in:

  • Finding joy and happiness in everyday life, even in times of crisis

  • Synthesizing a variety of perspectives on health and wellness into my medical view of the mind and brain

  • Integrating psychotherapy with psychiatric medication management and other complementary approaches when appropriate

  • Fueling mental well-being through the power of nutrition

  • The resilience of the human spirit and the power of self help

I received my B.A. in political science at McGill University in Canada before studying medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich in Germany. I completed my psychiatry residency training at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where I trained in psychotherapy techniques as well as medication management.

In 2013, I began working at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, WI. At Mayo, I collaborated with colleagues across disciplines in outpatient, inpatient and hospital consultation-liaison settings. I later served as Treatment Director for a rural acute psychiatric hospital in Wisconsin, and treated patients in addiction recovery at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Minnesota and Florida.

Today I work directly with individuals and groups, treating illness and helping people thrive. Drawing from over a decade of clinical experience, research, and collaboration, I bring a diverse toolbox of real-world strategies to support mental clarity, emotional resilience, and lasting well-being.

I translate the science of nutrition and brain health into everyday habits that are practical and sustainable. My work also includes tailored lifestyle and resilience strategies, along with group sessions designed to encourage connection, learning, and shared growth.

Thanks for joining me here. I look forward to helping you.
