Carmina

I'm currently seeking a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

My passion in counseling to work with trauma survivors and walking with people that have unresolved pain.
Tranisha
I’m Tranisha and I hold a bachelor’s degree in communications from Prairie View A&M University. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University. My goal is to provide a haven for people seeking to overcome the effects of trauma, depression and childhood abuse. My belief system concerning hope and healing is rooted in Ephesians 3:20, “God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think.”
Kwazi
My name is Kwazi Payne. I have a BA Iin Music Education from Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, Mississippi. I am currently enrolled in Liberty University's graduate program in clinical and mental health counseling. Although my background is in music, my 24 years in the Air Force cultivated a passion for counseling. I discovered that the mission could never be accomplished if the people weren't physically, socially, spiritually and mentally healthy. I made it my personal agenda to always assess the mental pulse of my Airmen. Because of my military experience, I want to focus on trauma and work with vets and dependents who suffer from anxiety, depression and substance abuse to name a few I believe God has called me to help be a balm to those who are struggling..
Charity
I’m Charity and I hold a bachelor’s degree in business administration from UTSA. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Houston Christian University. My desire is to help families and individuals find hope and strength in hard times. I believe that God is longing for a connection with each of us. He wants each of us to find a meaningful life. Through Jesus, we become more than survivors of our past hurt. We can become conquerors. “We are more than conquerors through him that loved us,” Matthew 8:37.
