PAL Spotlight
Karen Deitrick joined the PAL Program as a social work consultant in late 2017. Born in London and raised between Maryland and England, she attended graduate school at the University of Maryland School Of Social Work and trained on the Adolescent Inpatient Unit of Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital. Karen has worked in University of Maryland’s Dual Diagnosis program and Trauma Unit and has enjoyed working with adolescents, adults and families throughout her career. She left a private practice in Maryland to join her husband in Seattle.
Karen enjoys learning what makes people who they are and helping join people together in clinical settings as well as in the community. She has been active advocating for full funding of public education in Washington State and works to save beautiful forest land near her home. On any given weekend, she can be found enjoying time with family and friends, playing board games, quilting and kayaking. The key to her heart is a great cup of coffee!
