Karina Priest

Counselor, LMHC

"I do not see what I do as a job but as a passion. I love helping people and seeing them grow."

Helping others is something that I take very seriously, and I strive to do my best. I love what I do... I'm blessed to be able to say that I don't have a job, but a passion. I truly care about each patient I work with and will treat all with kindness, respect, and no judgment. I want my clients to feel at ease, free to speak their mind, and leave each session feeling a sense of peace.

I have extensive experience and education in the counseling field to deal with family issues, mental health, substance abuse, and sexual trauma/PTSD. I offer a soothing and comfortable environment where you will feel the peace and love needed to deal with what life brings your way.

I have 31 years of experience in the field of counseling (I started young, lol). I accept all PPO insurance policies with out of network benefits. I also accept self-pay.
