Welcome New Therapists

I am very excited to introduce you to two outstanding additions to our Counseling Center staff: Dr. Mariam Coaster and Grace Hallock.

Dr. Coaster is joining our staff as a part time therapist. She has a doctorate in Neuroscience (Vanderbilt) as well as a Masters in Marriage and Family (Trevecca University) and is on track for licensure.

Grace Hallock is our Counseling Intern and will be with us for the upcoming year as she finishes her Master’s in Professional Counseling (Trevecca University). After graduating, she will seek to become a Licensed Professional Counselor.

The first time I met Mariam she was standing unannounced in our waiting area. She was eager to talk about providing professional therapy that is congruent with the truth of the gospel and had heard about our Counseling Center. When you talk with Mariam you are instantly struck with her intelligence, enthusiasm and passion for her calling of helping people heal and grow. In addition to her sessions with individuals and marriages, she and her friend Lindsey have recently developed an outstanding marriage intensive weekend for couples who want to enhance their relationships. Based on Sue Johnson’s recent book Hold me Tight, the weekend provides each couple with unique blend of educational presentations from two excellent presenters, after which each couple applies and processes the material with their own therapist! Go to her website at mariamcoaster.com/seven/ for more information about upcoming events.  We are so excited that she has joined our team here at CCC and for all she adds to the pursuit of our Center’s mission and vision!

After interviewing several outstanding candidates our leadership team unanimously agreed that Grace, our new counseling intern, would be the best addition for our counseling staff. Even though she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (University of Tennessee), it wasn’t until she personally experienced some health problems that she discovered her true passion for helping people cope with their life challenges through a career in professional counseling. She wants to work with children, adolescents, adults and marriages. While she has a deep desire to integrate her Christian faith with her professional counseling skills, she values and works with people of all worldviews within their value systems. We are so glad to welcome Grace to our staff!

One of the great advantages of having our interns over the years is that we are able to offer counseling services on a very affordable sliding scale. For more details and contact information on both of these wonderful counselors, please go to our new website at www.counseling-c3.com and see if they may be of service to you or your friends.
