Karen Royer believes in creativity! As a life-long learner, Karen (and husband Bud and kids) used all the creativity they could muster to take a sad little café into one of national acclaim. That was 1987 and as Karen worked herself out of a job, she decided to go back to school for two reasons: to expand her learning of creativity and to blend this together somehow with helping people.
The journey began with a B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas (Go Horns!). Next came the study of creativity, which came from an unexpected source—Texas A&M
University—where she received her Master’s and Doctorate in Educational Psychology with a focus on creativity and intelligence. (She also received a certification in Handwriting Analysis and a certificate focusing in Advanced International Studies in Terrorism from The George Bush School at A&M, and studied Spiritual Direction from Mars Hill Seminary in Seattle. The final piece fell into place when Karen received her second Master’s Degree in Social Work.
Karen now works with Crossroads Counseling Associates in Austin where she uses her creativity and her desire to help people every day. Karen began holding creativity seminars in 1996. She keeps abreast of the changes in the field of creativity and transfers what she learns to her own life—and then to other people.
