The Christian Counseling Center has had interns for many years.   We are honored to host several graduate level student interns most semesters!  Interns are mostly doing co-therapy with Keith or Landon but will also do some sessions on their own,  Here are the folks interning spring semester of 2025:

Karissa Walhof

Karissa Walhof is a current graduate student and member of the Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society at
Colorado Christian University pursuing her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health
Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy. She is working as an intern
student under Keith Fussell’s, LPC-MHSP supervision. She graduated in 2022 with an
undergraduate degree in Modern Music Ministry and plans to utilize and pursue the many
dreams and giftings God has given her in life. While music is a prominent dream, helping
children, teenagers, families, couples, and individuals encounter healing, wellness, connection,
and purpose is another high priority. She honors the unique stories that clients share and views
each individual and family as one with great value and an intentional design.
Karissa is originally from Northwest Iowa but has called Memphis home for the last several
years. She enjoys singing and playing music, songwriting, spending time in community, serving
at her local church through the music ministry and as a youth group leader, and exploring the 0utdoors.
