Maybe the change is welcomed: a recent engagement or marriage, the birth of a child, graduation, or a child moving on to college. Regardless of whether these changes are expected or unexpected, wanted or unwanted, she is confident that changes can be embraced in the midst of our joy or grief. The heart of her therapeutic approach is the belief that we can become our own resources when we learn new ways to approach our issues or the situation. She believes individuals, couples, and families have the ability to change—sometimes we just need some assistance to do so. With almost 20 years of experience working with couples, individuals, and families, she has helped many clients obtain the tools necessary to improve their lives. Some of those areas include: grief/loss, spirituality, premarital/marital, parenting, discernment counseling, infidelity, coping skills, infertility issues, depression, and stress/anxiety. Dr. Melissa Hunter is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Stanford Couples Counseling in Texas. She graduated from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor with a Bachelor’s degree in Religion, received a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Truett Seminary at Baylor University, and has a Ph.D. in Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University. She brings a history of experience working in the church where she did pastoral counseling, premarital counseling, and led parenting and couple’s classes as well as retreats. If applicable, she utilizes her clients’ faith and spirituality, whatever they may be, as useful tools to aid in the change process. She has worked with all ages ranging from preschool to senior adults. She also specializes in discernment counseling, a process for helping couples make a more informed decision about whether they want to work on the relationship or end the relationship. In addition, her background as a hospice chaplain has familiarized her with the challenges that come with bereavement, grief, and loss in a variety of different family situations. She is also a certified facilitator of Prepare/Enrich, the most widely used and validated premarital assessment and training program. In her free time, Melissa loves to read, find a good walking trail, and get mindlessly lost in a Hallmark movie. She loves playing and spending time with her family. For almost ten years, she and her husband get ice cream every Friday afternoon. They began including the best delightful third wheel 6 years ago to their tradition, Anna. https://www.empathicholdings.com/jennifer-fast daily 0.75 2022-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/1632530496970-FUCVCKZ0SPHD3QZC7DX0/JFast+HeadShot.jpg Jennifer Fast - Jennifer Fast, Psy.D. Dr. Jennifer Fast is a clinical psychologist in practice since 2009 and currently works at Stanford Couples Counseling in Dallas, Texas. Prior to moving to Texas, Dr. Fast lived and worked in the Chicago-land area. She has extensive experience working with adults, emerging adults and college students, geriatric, international, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Dr. Fast specializes in trauma and interpersonal violence, identity development, life transitions, mood disorders, interpersonal relationships, leadership, and psychological/neuropsychological assessment. Like many in the mental health field, Dr. Fast believes most of the suffering people face is relational at the core, whether due to family of origin issues, romantic relationships, workplace dynamics, experiences with interpersonal violence, and/or societal and cultural expectations. People desire to be seen, heard, and understood; to be accepted, loved, and to know they matter and what they do matters. Dr. Fast sees psychotherapy as a wonderful way to uncover and unravel these issues in order to live more authentically. Dr. Fast lives in Fort Worth with her husband, two children, three cats, dog, turtles, and an unknown number of fish. She has been semi-successful at keeping her garden alive, hopes to add goats and chickens to her brood, and loves to bake complicated recipes for relaxation. https://www.empathicholdings.com/lori-vann daily 0.75 2021-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/90907ad1-dee7-45f8-b478-53057695956c/lori-vann-02-1365x2048.jpg Lori Vann - Lori Vann, M.A. LPC-S 77% of the US population struggles with some level of anxiety regarding public speaking. In fact, it has been said to be a more common fear than the fear of dying. If you are an event planner you need to have the assurance that the speaker that you bring to your attendees is not only confident and competent but is also memorable in all of the best ways. Many people will say that they are professional speakers but many are only professionals who speak. Do you want to know how to spot the difference between someone who is a professional speaker with training and experience versus someone who happens to speak for an occasional paid event? Lori Vann has been a professional speaker for over twenty years who has received training from multiple internationally known coaches, in addition to the lessons that she learned as a performer and a professor for two colleges. Having presented on national and international stages for a wide variety of audiences and event types, Lori is regarded as a speaker who provides value for the audience and organizers; this is one of the many reasons why she has been a repeat presenter for numerous organizations. Many speakers can provide information, but few speakers are able to present the information in a way that is meaningful, memorable, and usable. Lori is able to connect with your audience by providing a tailored talk with examples that will resonate with your attendees in a down-to-earth, genuine manner. Whether she is the keynote speaker for a large conference or providing a workshop to a small group of individuals, she gives every talk her full attention to make sure that your goals for the event are met. https://www.empathicholdings.com/tom-black daily 0.75 2021-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/0e5466d2-e7ec-47f9-b564-282c81ff80db/TBlack.Photo.ACS.png Tom Black - Dr. Tommy Black Dr. Tommy Black is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, who has been in private practice since 1998.

Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. https://www.empathicholdings.com/privacypolicy daily 0.75 2021-12-02 https://www.empathicholdings.com/terms daily 0.75 2021-12-02 https://www.empathicholdings.com/for-therapists daily 0.75 2022-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/cb5be8ac-dea0-4b03-a15c-f654b4c49387/Untitled-2.png For Therapists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/61397a1a-ef93-4701-aa05-bac1a2234371/Untitled-1.png For Therapists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/6fc22022-98ff-47dc-bcc1-0ade5617aebf/EmpathicHoldings_Empathy_US_iOS_6.5_screenshot_mockups_211207_02.png For Therapists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/a6d79d61-6423-4c31-8b13-993e5aa59950/Screen+Shot+2022-05-10+at+4.50.19+PM.png For Therapists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.empathicholdings.com/blue365 daily 0.75 2023-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/0037247b-2ec5-4162-a048-8930ab44fb90/BCBS_Blue365_ProcessBlue_Black_madeavailable2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/1632512299302-YJ12M0GORS05LMYK7KZY/download-on-the-app-store-apple-logo-png-transparent.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/d6fd9aac-ff40-4c5f-9fe3-ec62caccb0cc/Empathic+Holdings_Empifany_US_iOS+5.5_Screenshot+Revisions_220322_01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/42659599-20e0-4df6-9493-93488995b032/Screen+Shot+2022-05-13+at+9.08.46+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614df00f7f84a9719f8e894b/bc38cefb-3573-42a3-bfaf-6944766a0129/image0.png https://www.empathicholdings.com/cancelation-and-refund-policy daily 0.75 2023-09-15
