Karen McCarthy PT, DPT
Area DirectorKaren McCarthy received her bachelor’s degree in Health Science in 2009 and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012 from the University of Florida.
She began her career in the acute care setting while living in New Jersey. Working primarily in the ICU department, she successfully implemented protocols for early mobilization based on current research. After getting married, Karen moved to the Hudson Valley area and joined the Access Physical Therapy & Wellness family in early 2017 to further her career in outpatient orthopedics.
Karen’s clinical experience is primarily in orthopedic, vestibular, and geriatric physical therapy. She has a special interest in vestibular rehabilitation, and has completed continuing education coursework in that area. As a physical therapist, she loves making a difference in her patients’ lives and getting to know them on a personal level.
In her free time, Karen likes to relax and visit her hometown on the Jersey Shore.
