Our Arlington Integrative Medicine Specialists

Karen L. Spencer DNP, ACNP-BC

Karen is a Nurse Practitioner and has been in nursing for a very long time. After earning her undergrad at Hampton University, she practiced in Oncology, Medical ICU and ED before graduating from her Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. She brings over 20 years of educating nursing students, Medical Residents, patients, and nursing staff to our practice.

Karen “stumbled” into pain management when moving to Maryland with her family and beginning her work at a Sickle Cell Clinic there. This is where she found her passion for helping people in pain. After that she served 14 years at the Washington DC VA Medical Center where she regularly consulted with neurologists to help patients suffering from a wide array of neurological conditions. She also ran several programs including the Mental Health Pain Service. Her capstone project for her Doctorate degree from Rush University was the development and implementation of an Inpatient Interdisciplinary Pain Consult Service (IIPCS). Karen went on to implement, expand, and manage her project independently in the Department of Mental Health, becoming the first Nurse Practitioner in the Department of Veteran Affairs to do so.

Having been a chronic pain patient herself, Karen truly understands and appreciates the pain and challenges our patients face. Coupled with her education, her past personal experiences have given her the necessary preparation to provide excellent service to her patients and help them traverse the road to pain relief and better overall health.

When not in the clinic, Karen likes to swim and tend to her garden of fragrant flowers. A self-proclaimed “bird nerd”, watching and feeding the birds in her yard is a favored pastime. Most often though, you can find Karen in her “She Shed” working with her paints, clay, glass, and resin as she is a mixed media artist. The rest of her time is spent with her husband, son, and their family dog and cat.
