Gregory Hasek, MA/MFT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida

​​Gregory Hasek started his career in the counseling field working with adolescents in various residential treatment facilities, wilderness camps etc. This work took place for several years in the late 80's and early 90's. He received his A.S. degree in Outdoor Recreation in 1983 and later his B.S. degree in Outdoor Recreation in 1991 from Montreat College in Montreat, North Carolina.

He is also a Florida Qualified Supervisor for both Registered Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Interns. 

He has a passion for working with couples where one or both have had trauma in their past. His desire is to help couples move from being in a destructive cycle of interaction to one of healing at a deeper attachment level, where emotional needs are both expressed and met. He believes that couples can either "rewound each other from childhood" or they can help "heal each other from childhood". He also has a passion for using not only music as a tool in counseling but other alternative treatments such expressive and experiential therapies to help heal the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Since 2004, he has specialized in working with individuals, couples and families who have been affected by sex addiction, pornography and post abortion issues for men and women.

In addition to providing counseling, Mr. Hasek enjoys teaching and presenting at workshops. He has previously taught in George Fox University's Graduate School of Counseling for six years from 2005 to 2011. He is a frequent and highly requested national speaker. He presents at numerous conferences and workshops across the country on issues related to sex addiction and post abortion issues in men. In 2005, he organized the first ever men’s summit in the United States to specifically address how abortion affects men. Since then he has been involved with others in developing The Men and Abortion Network, which is a national organization with a mission to create both awareness and healing for men who have lost a child due to abortion. Mr. Hasek has spoken at numerous conferences over the years, including National Right to Life conventions. He was one of the featured speakers at “Reclaiming Fatherhood,” an international conference on men and abortion, which took place in 2007 and 2008. He has received international attention for his work on men and abortion issues and has presented in Australia in 2012, and at the World Congress on the Family in Barbados in 2016. He is a founding member of the Crisis Pregnancy and Abortion Recovery Division of the American Association of Christian Counselors. He has also recently developed an organization called the American Association of Therapists Treating Abortion Related Trauma, which has a goal of developing evidenced based treatment programs for abortion related trauma.

Spending a majority of her younger years on the stage, Courtney always believed that theater was her calling. She graduated with a BA in Musical Theatre and Broadcast Journalism from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

She helped college women who were struggling with eating disorders, body image, self-worth, anxiety and relationships. After several years with CRU, Courtney developed a heart and love for helping people change and decided to pursue seminary to give her the training necessary to more effectively counsel others.

She has helped those with  terminal illnesses to work through their emotions as they navigate the circumstances of their physical condition.  Courtney has supported families as they processed the reality of a terminally ill loved one.

​Ranita Isaac, MA
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern ​

Picture
​Ranita earned her Bachelor's in Psychology and Marketing from Upper Iowa University, followed by a Master's in Counseling from HELP University in Malaysia. Now a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern in Florida, she adopts a holistic approach to therapy, considering the significant impact of culture, socioeconomic status, beliefs, and values on her clients' well-being. She has a focus on women's issues, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Her clinical experience included trauma and grief therapy under St Mary's Cathedral in Kuala Lumpur. During this time she used modalities such as Reality Therapy to empower clients to take control of their lives and make choices for themselves; Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), for couples in processing and transforming their emotions, and fostering deeper connections in relationships; Biblical Counseling, which provided a spiritual framework for healing for those who wanted to integrate their faith with therapy; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. 

Ranita also worked with young women and adolescents at the YWCA in Kuala Lumpur, where she focused on empowering them to shift their thought patterns, develop healthy communication skills, and express themselves more effectively. Her work also involved helping them navigate and overcome generational trauma, while supporting their efforts to differentiate from their families and establish their own identities.  

Under Yayasan Health on World (YHOW, Kuala Lumpur), Ranita did group therapy for professionals in corporate settings to conduct stress management and affective psychoeducation workshops during the COVID-19 pandemic. These workshops focused on helping participants manage stress levels and included grounding and relaxation exercises to alleviate anxiety.

Committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, Ranita is dedicated to helping her clients achieve emotional well-being, personal growth, and relational harmony.  She believes deeply in the power of change and healing, drawing strength from her faith in Jesus to guide both her personal life and her professional work.
