Matt Warren, LMHC, MDIV
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR | SENIOR CLINICIAN
“I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of relationships. This is what draws me most to the work of counseling - the opportunity to join with someone in the midst of their life story, often in the midst of its hardest and messiest moments, and to form a therapeutic relationship that can produce wisdom, courage, compassion, and insight. As much as I love the deep introspective work and clinical skill building that comes with counseling, what I really love most are the unexpected bits of humor and rapport and spontaneous conversation that happen along the way and often spark the most impactful elements of therapy. Prior to co-founding HCC in 2017, I worked in community-based mental health and served a wide range of people with diverse clinical needs, providing in-home family therapy, therapeutic mentoring, group therapy, and residential treatment. In addition, I have a background in youth ministry, church planting, and pastoral care as well as urban ministry with homeless and incarcerated individuals. In all of this, what stands out most is the relationships. That is where God first meets us - in transformative relationship with Himself and, outwardly from there, transformative relationships with one another. Outside of my role at Harbor, I am also a husband and a father of three, an avid basketball and football fan, and a New Englander by choice (by way of Texas) trying to soak up as much seasonal beauty as possible.”

Day Marshall, LMHC
SENIOR CLINICIAN
“As a counselor, my greatest joy is walking through the darkest seasons with clients and helping them get to the lighter seasons that once seemed so elusive. I work extensively with anxiety disorders, relational hurt, addiction recovery, and church hurt. I love having my days filled with clients who range in life stages from teens, adult singles, to couples, to empty nesters and retirees. Counseling is helpful at any point on life’s road. In my personal life, I get to spend time with my favorite person - my husband of 30 years - as we try new recipes, travel to new places, and hang out with our amazing friends.”

Christina Feng, LMHC
CLINICAL SUPERVISOR | SENIOR CLINICIAN
“I love walking alongside clients as they journey toward healing, growth and change. Building deep, trusting relationships that allow for resilience and hope to emerge in clients’ lives is incredibly rewarding, and I value both times of grief and celebration in the therapy room. My experience in community-based work, public schools, and lay ministry counseling youth, college students, and adults, has shaped my ability to hold space for others, and to trust God to work through me. Faith is the foundation of my work—I see myself as an agent of healing and God as the ultimate healer, integrating biblical truths with evidence-based practices. My Asian-American identity also informs my understanding of cultural, societal, familial, and spiritual factors that impact clients’ experiences, and cross-cultural counseling is one of my clinical passions. Outside of therapy, I love being near the ocean, hiking, reading, baking, and spending time with loved ones.”

Edna Lima, LMHC M.ED.
SENIOR CLINICIAN
“I strive to compassionately support clients who may be feeling lost, stagnant, eaten by life’s challenges to achieve a movement of positive change and/or growth; to find guidance and the light to reveal themselves as the image of the Creator that they are. Several years of my experience were working with lives impacted by trauma, various mental health disorders, domestic violence, exploitation and addictions – in DCF involvement, Partial Hospitalization and Outpatient setting. Meanwhile, I have served in the local Latino church community providing counseling consultation and workshops focused on mental health issues related to youth/young adults, and families. This has shaped my ability to support clients of multiple walks of life and diverse backgrounds in their journey of stabilization. I am convinced that therapeutic support is incomplete and will not last if it is disconnected from God. Faith and restoration in Christ lead my work. Outside of the therapist role, I enjoy being a wife, mother and spending time with family, hosting friends, getting involved in projects at my church community and traveling.”

Jessica Abraham, LMHC
SENIOR CLINICIAN
“I strive for and find deep fulfillment in providing a safe and empathetic space for clients to share their story. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients through different seasons of life, support their emotional healing, and witness their growth in self-compassion and self-advocacy. My approach is shaped by my multicultural background—growing up in South India and living across the U.S. exposed me to diverse faiths and cultures, influencing how I connect with clients from all walks of life. Faith plays a central role in my work, guiding me as I integrate spiritual reflection and values-based coping skills when clients desire it. Outside of therapy, I love trying new foods, getting outdoors with my husband and corgi, reading, baking, and re-watching The Office!”

Jennie Remec, LMHC ATR-P
SENIOR CLINICIAN
“I strive to provide a calm, warm, and non-judgmental source of support to those I work with. I find great fulfillment in helping others untangle the parts of their lives that feel messy or overwhelming and feel honored when they share their stories with me. Some of my goals are to work alongside clients to help them heal from past hurts, face their fears, build confidence, and develop a sense of self-compassion, just to name a few. I also use creative problem-solving and truly enjoy when I can integrate the arts into treatment for use in art therapy and expressive therapies. My faith drives my work as I look to God as the ultimate counselor. I have always enjoyed theology and studying God’s word, so I appreciate the chance to integrate faith into counseling practice when desired. With that said, I welcome clients from all walks of life and use evidence-based practices to best meet their needs. Outside of work, I love to oil paint, play the piano, go to themed spin classes, rewatch The Office with my two cats, and attempt new pie recipes with my husband.”

With over 20 years of exposure to diverse cultures and faith traditions, along with experience in healing and prayer ministries across multiple denominations, I have developed a culturally sensitive and adaptable approach.

Faith is an integral part of my work as a therapist, as I recognize God as the ultimate healer.
