Carla Burran, MAPC, CCTSII, MA ART
Choosing a counselor can be difficult, especially if it is your first time seeking care. I welcome you to call or make an appointment so we can talk about your needs and your goals for counseling. There is no charge for your initial consultation by phone.
My desire is to come along side of you as your counselor to help you to:
As a Christian counselor, I am dependent on the Holy Spirit to provide the guidance needed to help my clients. In addition, my training consist of protocols that have been proven effective by evidence based, scientific research.
As a trauma specialist, I am masters level trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART provides a new approach to trauma therapy which does not re-traumatize the client, but rather provides a method of keeping the client calm and relaxed throughout the evidence based protocol, which involves memory reconsolidation. I have had my ART advanced certication for over 2 years and have completed well over 500 sessions. Please see our videos & testimonials for more information about this ground breaking new trauma therapy.
My formal education includes a Masters of Arts Degree in Pastoral Counseling: Marriage & Family from Liberty University. I earned my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia. I worked extensively for over 25 years as a Certified Behavior Consultant for various organizations, utilizing DISC Personality & Temperament Training. My additional certifications and training are listed below.
Before I became a professional counselor, I spent 30 years in the business world, moving from a corporate environment to being an entrepreneur and small business owner. I believe my life experience in the business world gives me a unique perspective when dealing with the pressures of balancing work and home, setting boundaries for a healthy lifestyle, and dealing with challenging interpersonal relationships at work.
I work with adults, adolescents. and couples. Whatever you are struggling with, please remember that God did not create us to be alone with our pain or confusion, reach out and take a chance on improving your quality of life today!
Many Blessings on Your Journey,
Carla Burran

Meet Dagney, she is our therapy dog and she loves everyone (but of course she will convince you that YOU will be her favorite). Although she is very friendly, she will gladly give you your space if you aren't looking for a 4-legged friend on any given day. If you are receptive to her, she will want to be nearby if you are sad or having a bad day. Dagney is a 18 month old, 105 lb Black Russian Terrier, and is considered hypoallergenic ( no shedding or dander) but if you are have allergies or simply aren't fond of dogs, just let us know and she will head home during your visit. We do keep a heavy duty air purifier running at all times to help with any sensitivities you may have.
