Valisa Murray, MA, LPC, FDC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply ready to invest in your own well-being, I will work to make sure you know that this space is one of non-judgmental acceptance and deep empathy. I specialize in helping with relationships, mild anxiety, stress, sex and intimacy. I also offer Christian counseling and have a heart for those who have experienced hurt or rejection from faith communities.
I utilize an eclectic, integrated approach to tailor therapy for each client's unique needs. Drawing from various proven modalities like CBT, SFT, Gottman Method, and person-centered techniques, I create a flexible, evidence-based roadmap for your healing journey. I'm passionate about helping you build stronger, healthier connections with yourself and others! I focus on equipping clients with concrete, easily applicable tools that can be used every day to create greater personal clarity and healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Packages for counseling, vow renewal and wedding officiant services available.
