Kris describes her therapy style as relational, interpersonal, insight oriented, and cognitive-behavioral. She particularly enjoys working with clients who desire to integrate Christian truths and principles into their therapy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Special Interests & Services: For clients who desire to integrate Christian truths and principles into the counseling sessions, I especially value being able to openly talk about God in the sessions and to help clients understand how unhealthy views of God can impact how we view ourselves, others, and the world. I believe that God is the ultimate source of healing and that our worth and value come from being in a relationship with God. For clients who are not seeking Christian counseling, I desire to be (imperfectly) the unspoken presence of Christ through listening, caring, and displaying high respect for each person who enters my office.”

He appreciates the progress the field of mental health treatment has made but also acknowledges there is a continued need for better diagnostic and treatment tools and for a greater appreciation of the extent to which each person’s condition and situation is unique.

I help clients gain insight and awareness into their behaviors to improve the quality of their life and build meaningful relationships. I also use Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients build coping skills and practical problem-solving abilities to manage complex daily stressors. I am especially interested in helping clients and their families in the areas of abuse, neglect, divorce, and boundary issues. I offer a reduced therapy fee for clients who meet the financial guidelines.

She currently leads parenting workshops in the community as well as groups for teens. She is also involved in her church’s counseling ministering, providing training for lay counselors. Marcy offers reduced fees to clients who meet the financial guidelines. Marcy has been working for Meier Clinics since 2005, working with children as young as six, adolescents, and adults. She describes her therapy as solution-focus cognitive behavioral therapy and her goals for her clients are to learn new ways of thinking and alternative ways of coping that can be applied to future problems or concerns. Marcy strives to help clients identify negative thought patterns and replace them with truthful, healthy thoughts.

She uses both verbal and creative languages in treatment as, often times, painful experiences can be too difficult for words. In addition, the dual languages use both sides of the brain to achieve greater healing. When art is used, it is used expressively and not as a means of creating artwork that is beautiful.

Sergio is passionate about working with individuals and families by helping them to identify what they want to achieve on an emotional level.  He utilizes Psychodynamic, Attachment and Cognitive Behavioral theories to empower individuals to confront and process the trauma they have experienced, and to assist them in discovering their full potential.  Sergio believes that people can thrive when faulty thinking and beliefs about one’s self are eliminated and replaced with increased self- awareness and positive self-talk.

Her priority is to create a safe and trusting therapeutic setting where her clients can begin healing. Nancy’s understanding of healing through relationship is fundamental in her work with her clients. Her authentic, caring and unconditional positive regard for her clients help to facilitate the healing journey.  Because Nancy believes in the importance of early attachment and bonding within all families, she includes work around family-of-origin and how that might affect current adult relationships. Nancy also customized her techniques and interventions to best suit the needs of each individual client.
