having this as my professional home. My career into MFT was a winding one: I worked briefly as a registered nurse before looking into medical family therapy and completing my masters and doctoral degrees in MFT. Some of my current professional interests include working with couples and parents of young children, spirituality in therapy, and development of contextually-sensitive and socially-just pedagogy. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children on our six

Mental Health Counselor | Counseling Services | guizare@plu.edu | 253-535-7206 | My name is Evelia Guizar; I am a 4th-year student in the Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) program at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA. My passion for psychological well-being started early in my teenage years as I navigated the complexity of integrating my cultural identity as a first-generation immigrant. Before becoming a graduate student, I worked in the field of Logistics, focusing on person-to-person interactions and professional relationships. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy to understand the whole person and how life experiences, environments, and situations impact a person’s well-being. I embrace and respect diversity in cultural values, which make each client unique in their perspectives and experiences. I believe that we all experience moments in our lives where a therapeutic relationship helps promote healing and emotional strength as we navigate challenges in our daily life. .

Associate Director of Clinical Operations / Director of Training / Counselor | Counseling Services | jfadden@plu.edu | 253-535-7206 | I am very excited to be back on the PLU campus! I graduated from the PLU MFT program in 2012, and am looking forward to assisting the PLU community through our amazing counseling services. I have over 12 years of experience as a therapist, along with an extensive professional history within the social work and social justice field. I have guided many people throughout the years, and feel it is my calling to be present for those who need support through this grand adventure called LIFE! My main goal is to help you cut through the minutiae of your own mind, implement tools that will help you take back the authority of your life and propel you forward on the path of your choosing. I believe in creating “brave spaces” within the therapy room. My style of therapy is a little different as I believe therapy does not have to be a long drawn out process, nor a deep dive, in order to make significant changes in your life. Sometimes, you just need a place to breathe, focus and figure out your next steps. I combine various therapy techniques, in order to challenge you, keep you focused and allow space for you to discover your authentic self. Humor is also an important element of the process! If you are ready for deep and lasting change, then contact PLU Counseling Services and let’s get started! .
