About

The Center for Restored. & Connected Families Therapy (CRCF) a Christian nonprofit public benefit organization serves the Christian community and fosters the development of the next generation of Christian therapists in Orange County California. As a distinctly Christian organization, our therapists capably integrate Biblical truth and Christian spirituality when requested by our clients. We meet our clients in an atmosphere of respect and develop plans of care in collaboration with our clients. Prelicensed therapists are supervised by a qualified, licensed therapist as they earn hours required for full-licensure.

We serve people who want to improve their relationships with God, others, and themselves and we provide support for recovery from abuse and trauma, addictions, anxiety, depression and for processing through grief and loss. We work with couples facing crisis and those who want to strengthen their connection with each other. We offer support for the unique needs of step and blended families, including support for coparenting. Our Orange County location is specifically equipped for therapeutic work with children of all ages and abilities and their families. CRCF is also contracted with Aetna and Cigna/Evernoth.

Rebecca Rodriguez, Veronica Wadsworth, and Raul Manzo offer care in English and Spanish. Eva Mikhail offers care in English and Arabic (spoken only). Kathleen Shanahan and Dr. Toni provide care in English only.

Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist

My name is Toni Dunning and I am a Christian therapist because I discovered God's love and grace as part of my own healing journey. I know what it feels like to see life from a depressive/anxious perspective and fear God--wondering if I could ever do anything to be worthy of Him. There is NOTHING. It all rests on His loving nature, His grace balanced with truth and His mercy balanced with His justice. I know what pain feels like. I know I needed people in my own journey who had gone ahead of me to give me hope. It is my desire to do the same for others in honor of Jesus who gave Himself that I could live with peace in a state of grace having been forgiven--not because I am worthy--but because HE is worthy.
