Carrington, MS, Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy, PCI Certified Parent Coach®

My name is Carrington and I am the the clinician and coach behind Firm Foundation Family Services. For over eight years I have worked as a PCI Certified Parent Coach® in support of moms and dads seeking to be more grounded in their values and more confident in their parenting. In 2020 I went back to school to earn my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I currently work as a Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy with married couples, pre-marital couples, families, adolescents, and adult individuals from a relationship-oriented perspective.

It's in relationship that we experience our deepest pain but also our greatest joys. I believe strong families grow from strong foundations. While I have studied a variety of relational approaches, including Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Structural, Narrative, and Solution Focused methods to name a few, the ultimate source of understanding and wisdom is God’s word, which helps us pinpoint both the cause and the remedies to relational discord. Children and adolescents are always welcome to join the therapeutic process; every family member ought to be heard and valued for their perspective and their contribution to the whole. I enjoy working with clients who are curious, humble, willing to look both without and within, and who desire authentic connection.

We often don't think about relationships until they go awry. When that happens we can be so alarmed we simply don't know what to do. I understand that a hurting marriage or a fractured parent/child bond can feel difficult, bewildering, or truly devastating. I hope you'll reach out for help. There is hope for healing and I will walk that path with you.
