🌟 Employee Spotlight: Dr. Carissa Bacon
💼 Role
Director of Clinical Services
📅 Time with the Team
Dr. Bacon has been a valued part of our team since December 2024, bringing over a year of leadership, heart, and vision to our clinical services.
💙 What Inspired Her
Dr. Bacon believes that every person has a purpose. No matter your background or life experiences, you were created with something special inside of you.
She believes people already have what they need to grow and reach their full potential — sometimes they just need support, safety, and real connection to uncover it.
“Sometimes people just need someone to believe in them while they learn to believe in themselves.”
🤝 What She Enjoys Most
For Dr. Bacon, it’s all about connection.
She believes:
We are hurt in relationships
We also heal through relationships
Through therapy, she helps individuals shift from asking:
❌ “What is wrong with me?”
to
✅ “What happened to you?”
Helping people realize they are not broken — and supporting them as they move from surviving to thriving — is the power of connection.
🏀 Fun Fact
Dr. Bacon played college basketball!
(And although many consider her tall, she still wouldn’t mind being just a little taller 😉)
🌱 Words of Encouragement
Dr. Bacon shares four powerful mindset shifts:
Decide who you want to be.
Get clear about your passion and natural gifts.
Act like your future self today.
Ask daily: “Would the person I want to become be doing this right now?”
Stay consistent and persistent.
Small daily actions create big change.
Take 100% accountability.
Not to blame yourself — but to take your power back.
“When people commit to these steps, their lives change.”
✨ We are grateful for Dr. Bacon’s leadership, passion, and commitment to helping others move from survival to thriving.

Feeling overwhelmed and not sure why?
