We at Revive Family Counseling (RFC), understand that the first step to seeking help is crucial and we strive to provide appointments within 48 hours of an initial call.
Life can bring about changes quickly at times and our minds and bodies are not equipped to adjust to them as fast as those around us would like. We at Revive Family Counseling can help you adjust to these changes through collaborative therapy and implementing lasting solutions to everyday challenges.

Kerriann Now is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addiction Professional (CAP). Kerriann has been working in the human service field for nearly fifteen years. While working with diverse population and complex backgrounds, Kerriann noticed there was a greater need for people to “feel relief faster” regarding their unresolved traumas and began learning more and more about the benefits of evidence based trauma techniques. In 2018, she decided to get trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and became fully independently certified in EMDR in 2021. Kerriann believes people have the innate ability to move forward from their past negative experiences and since implementing EMDR into her therapeutic repertoire, she has been able to help hundreds of people move forward in their lives and live more fulfilled, joyful, peaceful and balanced lives. Kerriann continues to further educate herself in evidence based trauma techniques and she has also been trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
