Chris Permenter

Presently, I am accepting new clients. I have a bachelor's in Christian ministry and a master's in counseling. My specialties are (1) relationship counseling; (2) counseling to reduce symptoms of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma; and (3) counseling to explore one's spiritual relationship to identify obstacles that impede spiritual connection. I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapy, Gottman Couple's Therapy, Brainspotting, and Trauma Competency. My sliding scale fee is $100 - $135.00. Counseling is an investment in personal growth to improve your quality of life and decision-making skills. Equipping clients for personal growth is a high priority. Personal growth goals increase a client's 1. autonomy & personal empowerment, 2. self-regulation, 3. self-worth, and 4. relationship skills. My clients identify and work on personal goals specifically addressed to meet their needs & values. I believe in counseling. I have witnessed change. Few counselors are trained to counsel couples. My training in both EFT and Gottman provides a plan to increase awareness of your relationship cycle and enable you to better understand your conflict triggers and patterns. New insights improve relationship skills and connection which can decrease conflict. Email me! Growth and change are possible. Specialties: Often we get stuck and struggle to take the first step. At Arbor Day Counseling, we believe that "the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time is today." Today is your best time to click the blue email link on this page.
