“I believe healing begins with being heard. My goal is to empower individuals and families to embrace their stories, find resilience, and discover new possibilities for their lives.” — Carisa Bustillos-Givens, LPC
A Philosophy Rooted in Compassion
My approach is built on one core belief: healing begins with connection. Each patient’s story is unique, and so is their path to wellness. By listening deeply, meeting people where they are, and tailoring evidence-based strategies, I ensure care that feels personal and empowering. I believe therapy is not just about overcoming challenges, but also about building strength, resilience, and self-discovery. Together, we can create meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
