Client Experiences

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Karg for over 15 years. She has been a wonderful trainer, supervisor, and mentor throughout this time, and always finds the best balance of teaching and encouraging critical thinking.  She is dedicated to high-quality learning and knows psychodiagnostic assessment inside-out!

Clinician

Dr. Rhonda Karg is an exceptional psychologist and has provided me with a wealth of training and guidance across multiple large-scale studies over the years. The skills I learned in research studies have transferred to my clinical work and highlight Rhonda's framework of empirically-informed approaches to assessing and addressing mental health - thoroughly impressing my supervisors while I completed my clinical internship. Rhonda is passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking clinical or clinical research mentorship and consultation.

Clinician

Rhonda is an exceptional supervisor.  She possesses a rare combination of content expertise, extensive clinical experience, clear, “to the point” communication, and an easy, affable interpersonal style that makes interacting with her as enjoyable as it is instructive.  She artfully balances praise with constructive feedback on areas in need of improvement while being secure enough to structure supervision not as a series of “top down” pronouncements but rather as a conversation that invites meaningful contributions from all participants.  She contributes significantly to the professional growth of those lucky enough to work with her and clearly enjoys doing so.”
