Bridge + Haven Counseling | Charisse Ferrer, M.Ed., LPC-S — Marriage or relationship counselor in Austin, TX

While struggling through a disruptive life event, my search for a therapist led me to Charisse. I was incredibly nervous to open up to a therapist, but Charisse immediately met me with compassion and kindness. She has guided me through trying times by teaching me self compassion and providing a non-judgmental space for me to navigate my emotions. I also appreciated that as an Asian American therapist, I felt she was able to genuinely relate and validate my own life experience as an Asian American woman. I am forever grateful for her help, and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a warm, supportive therapist.

Charisse Ferrer, LPC-S the founder of this practice is a colleague and therapist I trust with referrals. She has a warm and calming energy, and specializes in meeting with couples with her extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I recently visited her newer office location and found the space warm and inviting.

Charisse has a true gift for being able to empathize and make people feel heard. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to gain guidance from her. She helped my partner and I understand our cycle of disconnection and we have a much stronger relationship after working with her. She is the very best therapist I have ever had and I highly recommended her to any couple.

I have been a client of Charisse on and off for about 10 years. I think some people have the misconception that all therapists are the same or should all be a match. Unfortunately, it can take a few tries to find the RIGHT one for an individual. I was lucky I met her on my second try. She has helped me through insecurities, self criticism, anxiety, divorce and finding my own voice. I have grown exponentially through my work with her. Because of Charisse, I suggest therapy to anyone going through a tough time or needing to find themselves. You get out what you put in...if you have the right therapist :)

I went to see Charisse after my mother passed away as it was a time of significant loss for me. Her kind and thoughtful presence was helpful to me during my healing process. She brings a wisdom beyond her years and helps you map out your life and struggles in a way that helps you see your way to a better way to be in the world. I can highly recommend Charisse as a therapist and have given her name to close friends and family.
