I want to highly recommend Karen's Women of Faith group. It was truly a blessing in my life.
Karen’s compassion, sincerity, and spirituality helped lead us all in the direction we needed to go.
She listens with her whole heart, and had concrete tools we used to help us make goals for ourselves. The book she suggested for me was perfect - it opened my eyes!
I loved the support and prayer I received from the women in my group, in a non-judgmental way. We were all different, and yet connected on many levels.
We helped each other, and made solid friendships. I feel a transformation in my soul. I feel peace and gratefulness. I know I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m not where I used to be.
I’m on my way!

I have had the honor of being coached by Karen McMahon as well as participating in programs that she has developed.

Karen's clear, crisp, and supportive style, combined with her capacity to listen deeply and distinguish the kernels of import in what is being shared, lead to value in ANY association with her.

She brings considerable and well-honed skills and complete commitment to all that she does. Karen is a guide into that part of oneself that is always whole and wise.

I recommend Karen unconditionally.

Client of Jean Grossman:
Jean's strength is her ability to get people to be their own advocate. Asking the right questions she gets you to the point where you know what steps you need to take. She doesn't advise, she helps you advise yourself. Its a true gift for the empowerment of her clients.



Amy Schachter, Brooklyn

“Karen is an excellent listener who helped me with practical ideas on how to handle the difficult issues I was facing in my marriage. I appreciated her understanding and perspective on how I could focus on what I can control. I highly recommend her if you are going through a challenging personal situation and want to focus on what you can do to make things better.”

Susan V., NYC

Divorce Group Member:
"I am so profoundly grateful to Karen McMahon for the group and personal divorce coaching we have done together. After 40+ years, I am beginning to understand why I chose the partners I chose, including my former spouse. Karen's coaching approach is direct and efficient. Unlike traditional therapy, which may serve as a compliment to coaching work but take years, Karen's coaching produced immediate results. She helped me to see not only why I accepted the unacceptable but gave me concrete assignments to change my behavior.

As a newly single parent who now works full time as a result of my divorce, I appreciated Karen's expeditious use of time, honestly and keen insights. Karen is compassionate, understanding, wise and professional. I highly recommend her as a divorce coach.

Going in I kept an open mind unknowing of what was ahead of me. We all warmed up and the vibe was amazing. You can feel the genuine concern and caring like a big hug. Karen is a breath of fresh air with thoughtful comments and questions -- taking time to feel inspired with each step. You can leave each group having spent time with good people with a warm feeling of contentment or dig deep for some serious soul searching and life transition. Bless you all on your journey!

The invitation of God's healing power and Karen's life coaching tools brought transformation and freedom to an area of my life that was "stuck" for many years. Being with other women of faith added a whole new dimension and sets apart this group from anything conventional. God was always faithful to join us and the peace and power of his presence spilled over for days after. Come expecting change and you won't be disappointed!


Barbara R.

Women of Faith Group Member:
Connecting life coaching with a Christian focus was extremely powerful to me. I was walked through some thought processes that had not been working for me, beautifully by Karen, at the same time as enhancing my relationship with the Lord and adding support to an amazing group of ladies. It was great to practice putting the Lord into the center of working through our lives. Thank you Karen for reaching out and bringing your expertise to us in this way!

Divorce Group Member:
Karen is a rare treasure. She has insight and sensitivity and so understands the whole divorce process. Whenever I meet someone who I think may need some help in getting through the rough patches of a divorce I highly recommend them to see Karen.
She is bright, articulate and gets to the heart of the matters in what most therapists would take months to do, Karen can do it in one session. You leave with a sense of accomplishment and a better understanding of where you want to go. I look forward to coming back to her groups.

I have worked with Karen in her groups. Karen has helped me get right to the point. She keeps me focused and helps keep me from going off the topic. Karen has also made me think about things in a different way. I have enjoyed her approach and I have left the sessions with a more positive, deeper and more meaningful feeling. I look forward to my growth as a person.

Sharon G, L.I.

I enjoyed working with Karen about matters of my divorce--in particular about how to handle and how to communicate with my soon-to-be ex. She was able to break down my feelings of enormity into small steps that could be worked on in an hour session. She remembered, too, what we worked, and brought that up in following sessions. She was also receptive to not working on issues that I did not want to spend time on. I appreciated and valued the outside support.

I probably couldn’t have made it through my divorce with such a positive outlook on my new journey without Karen. She is extremely intuitive and has a way of narrowing in on your exact thoughts and feelings. She doesn’t hesitate to share her own experiences, which made me realize that I am never alone in this process. Karen helped me keep my optimism during tough times and kept me focused on moving forward while being true to myself. She’s an amazing coach and person, who I now consider a dear friend. I am very lucky to work with her. She cut threw the fog and helped me navigate one of the most challenging times in my life.





Tricia ~ New York City

Karen has helped me through a very difficult time and continues to help me. I did not seek a divorce but was shocked when my husband left me for a woman I didn't even know existed. I had been with my husband since college and was stunned by the depth and extent of the betrayal by the person I thought was my best friend. Although I am a professional, I have always tried to please other people and never tried to please myself. This attitude was deeply ingrained since childhood since a compliant child was the best chance against an angry father. Karen is helping me to uncover what I want and how to achieve it. She has helped me see how my behavior invited bad behavior from the people I cared about the most- my parents, my husband, my sister, etc. She has also helped me see how my victim mentality has held me back at work. The interesting thing is- Karen doesn't tell me what to do- she helps me figure out what I want to do. She helps me ask the right questions.

My life has been turned upside down. Sometimes you need someone to help you navigate through life and see the forest through the trees. Karen does that for me and I am grateful that I found her.

I reached a point in my life where I knew that if I didn’t start doing something I was going to come apart at my own already straining seams. Life Coaching with Karen was suggested. I agreed to give it a ‘try.’… Funny things began to happen as I sat thru my sessions. Yes, my ‘old junk’ came floating up - but Karen kept me from falling into the pit of its grip. Lo, no more paralyzing stagnation.

What surprised me more, was the further I -we - worked thru the top layers -of my self-fabricated onion - the faster the changes and addressing happened. The more I got done, the more clear I was... back and forth this see-saw goes, and continues to go! This is truly a ‘Don’t give a man a fish... Teach him how to fish’ scenario. Though she was guiding me, it was me making the flowchart of steps to take. Go figure, I had it in me all along?!

Karen, in very short order, worked me through a major block in my development. She kept asking the right questions that led me to insight that had evaded me for years. She combines equal amounts of practical suggestions with probing insight. It was definitely worth my while to do this work with her.
