Marie Owens, LMSW

Therapist

Marie is a Licensed Master Social Worker. She has a passion for helping those in need who are not sure where else to turn. She believes everyone has a unique set of strengths based on their own experiences and uses that help her clients build and discover their self-confidence. She has experience working with clients who live with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjusting to life changes, and stress. Her experience as a care manager included helping clients in vulnerable populations learn the resources and skills needed to live an independent life. This experience in helping people in their everyday life carries over into therapeutic practice by meeting the client where they are at in their healing process and helping them achieve goals. Using cognitive behavioral, solution focused, mindfulness practices, and problem solving, Marie can help clients uncover the roots of an issue and help them move forward in a positive way. While not at work Marie enjoys volunteering with youth groups teaching them skills and involvement in community-based projects.

Christa Louise Perz, MA, LCSWR

Therapist

I am a Clinical Therapist working for almost 20 years with clients age ranging from about 10 – 90’s. Many would say I am varied in style and love working with individuals, couples and families. I primarily provide Solution Focused, Client Centered and Trauma Informed approaches. I have experience with addictions and conflict resolution issues (both work and home as well). Initially, I like us to gather pertinent information and what you most want to work on in therapy. I like to explore this right away to help you feel settled and more comfortable with the therapeutic process. I look forward to meeting with you to see how I might be able to help you with your therapeutic goals!
