PAIGE T. CHRISTIAN, LCSW, CFTP
Hello and welcome!
Do you personally struggle with anxiety or depression? Is motherhood a lot harder on you than you ever thought possible? Do you just want to feel better and meet with someone who will really understand where you are coming from? Do you want to learn real, helpful, and practical skills that will improve your wellness and enrich your relationships?
My name is Paige and I am the owner of Joyful Nest Counseling. I’m here to tell you that it is possible to release any burdens you may be carrying and develop a new sense of confidence, contentment, and purpose. I’ve seen women and marriages transform and THRIVE with supportive therapy.
I’ve been a wife for 15 years and I’m a mom of four. I know from experience how complicated the journey can be. Past clients and collegues have described me as genuine, compassionate, understanding, honest, patient, skillful, insightful, disarming, safe, trustworthy, caring, and competent. You can expect nothing but kindness and respect from me as your provider, someone who will really listen and seek to understand who you are, where you are at, where you would like to go, and a plan for how we will get there. My goal is client satisfaction through the entire therapeutic process.
If you feel I might be a good fit for you, please send me an email at paigechristian@joyfulnestcounseling.com.

Kacy Garrard, LCSW

I am passionate about supporting children, pre-teens, teens, and young adults as they navigate life's challenges and transitions, guiding them in the path of personal well-being. As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a supportive and open environment for both youth and their families through collaborative, effective communication. With a passion for fostering healthy family dynamics and supporting youth through challenges, I work to create a balanced approach that promotes growth, understanding, and stronger relationships. Through holistic trauma- informed modalities, I believe it is important to empower clients to understand themselves better, explore emotional regulation, and develop effective life and coping skills that promote growth and well-being. Working with youth and young adults in various settings, I have experience integrating evidence-based practices, addressing issues such as anxiety, and depression. Your family's personal well-being is a priority to me. If you feel I may be a good fit, please email me at Kacy@joyfulnestcounseling.com.
