Hope for Fellow Fighters - Krissie Garland LPC
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
Our guest on this episode is Krissie Garland who has a story to tell and resources to share. She is a widow and was married to an amazing man for 8 years—a man who is now with Jesus. Being a widow does not define who Krissie is, however. She has a heart to help hurting and broken people. What started as a calling as a licensed professional counselor, became a personal mission when my late husband took his life after battling mental illness and addiction. Krissie says, "I became a Therapist because I personally know what it is like to experience pain, and I know what it is like to fight towards healing."
You can find out more about Krissie and check out some of the resources she has by going to www.krissiejoy.com
