While the country continues to battle the coronavirus, college health professionals are also monitoring a growing crisis among young adults struggling with mental health problems, including suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our guest on this episode is Christie Farris. Christie is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. She focuses on what brings meaning to a person’s life and how best to fulfill that potential existence.  Sometimes that leads us to consider what is happening in life that blocks a person’s ability to have healthy relationships, self-acceptance, or life enjoyment.  She addresses past hurts, loneliness, and the need for healing and peace.  Family and couples’ relationships often have a huge impact on one’s sense of self, so she works together to address these relationships with authenticity.
