Dr. Kari Schall

Psychologist (34734)

clinical supervisor

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers


I work to empower clients to better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop practical tools they can carry beyond the therapy room. I value curiosity and collaboration, and I see therapy as something we do together rather than something done to you. My goal is to foster a safe, warm, and trusting space where personal growth feels both supported and possible. In a typical session, I’ll offer plenty of room for reflection and exploration, while also helping you identify concrete strategies you can apply in your day-to-day life.

I received my Ph.D. from Alliant International University. Before joining Framework, I completed my clinical training at university counseling centers, including a predoctoral internship at Washington State University and a post-doctoral fellowship at UCLA. I consider myself a generalist, treating a wide variety of concerns, but specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as CBT for anxiety.

In my free time, I enjoy reading novels, traveling to national parks, and spending time with my two cats.

Finally, I serve as a clinical supervisor within Framework’s training programs.
