Listen "029 Summer Krause & Risa Hobson on trauma therapy, their Christian Faith-Based Guide to Seeking Safety "
Episode Synopsis
My guests for episode 29 are Summer Krause and Risa Hobson.
We went international for the first time on the podcast, Risa joining us from Portugal.
Summer Krause, LPC, CADCIII is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor III, with a clinical practice in Oregon at Western Psychological and Counseling Services that includes treating both adolescents and adults. She also provides trainings and consultation in implementing Seeking Safety for Treatment Innovations, in partnership with the author, Lisa Najavits. After volunteering as a chaplain in juvenile detention centers for many years, Summer went to graduate school to help address some of the underlying issues that contribute to youth entering the juvenile justice system. She completed her master’s degree at Western Seminary in counseling with a focus on children and adolescents and has specialized training in trauma-informed care. She has worked in nonprofit, group home, juvenile justice, residential and outpatient settings. She has also dedicated herself to ministry through local churches and Christian organizations that target marginalized individuals.
Risa Hobson, MA is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with professional helpers and full-time ministry workers, along with their families. This includes current and former missionaries and pastors, NGO staff and volunteers, and adult TCKs. Risa wants to see these workers thrive in a life that often involves countless transitions as well as vicarious and complex trauma. She currently provides counseling, debriefing, and training through her private practice, Hobson Wellness Resources, and is part of a member care ministry in Portugal serving those involved in local and global ministry.
Some of the most common concerns addressed in Risa’s work include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity, life-stage transitions, parenting, relationships, self-care, and spirituality. One tool that Risa uses is the Seeking Safety treatment model, which is trauma-informed, evidenced-based, and fully compatible with a Christian worldview and biblical perspective. Risa believes that people should not have to choose between their faith and receiving quality psychological care as both are integral to healing. Even if we have experienced great loss, we can learn new ways of navigating our world, faith and relationship with God.
Risa grew up in Germany, and has extensive experience studying and traveling abroad. She obtained her MA in Counseling from Western Seminary, and her BA in Cross-cultural Studies and Sociology from Calvin College. Together with her husband and kids, she enjoys adventuring, good food, game nights, and time with friends and family.
