Christy Birgen, M.A., LPC, LMFT; Founder/Clinical Director
My approach to therapy is grounded in the emotional human experience, with a Christian framework. My style combines the science of attachment theory, the power of emotion as a change agent, and integration of psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. I view counseling as a safe place of acceptance and compassion where client and therapist work together to bring the client back to their personal place of hope and well-being.
Cara Charanza, LMFT-Associate
As a therapist, I am shaped by my Christian worldview and believe understanding our attachments and emotional landscapes is the key to healing. My practice is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, where we explore the intricate dance of relationships—with ourselves and with others. I specialize in supporting couples rebuilding intimacy, families navigating complex dynamics, and individuals—with a particular passion for working with women – while also providing dedicated support to men seeking personal growth. My professional work centers on helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and rediscover their authentic identity.
Abi Bryant, Graduate Student Counselor
My approach to therapy pulls from systemic and person-centered approaches to therapy, with a Christian background. I believe that each person was created in a unique and individual way by God, and our experiences through family, community, and relationships shapes who we are. I view therapy as a safe and comfortable environment in which the client and therapist work towards peace and hope.
Jimmy Loer, Graduate Student Counselor
My approach to therapy comes with a faith-based foundation. After God, then I focus on structural and emotion-focused therapy. We are all part of God’s plan, and the last time I checked, failure and mistakes were never mentioned in that plan. I believe God created men and women to be unique and purposeful in our journeys to serve him.
