Bev Klaiber, M.A., LMFT
Community Counseling Center Therapist
B.A. English and Communication, Azusa Pacific University, 1987
M.A. Marital and Family Therapy, Azusa Pacific University, 1991
Licensed in the state of California since 1995

I have been married since 1989 and I have three boys. My sons are Sam (10), Max (6), and Jack (4). We moved to Redding from the Los Angeles area in 1992. My husband has been a teacher and football coach at Anderson High School since that time. I worked for nine years in Child Welfare as a Social Worker/Therapist at a Foster Family agency also in Anderson. In 1997, I taught a class in the ASPIRE program at Simpson. I later taught another class and began doing some counseling here in our counseling center. After my third (and final!) son was born in September of 2000, I left Child Welfare to focus my professional attention on working with college students. I have never done anything professionally that I enjoy as much as this. It is a privilege, with all of its joys and challenges, to be part of this stage of development in the lives of young men and women.

Though I have dealt with a wide variety of issues in counseling over the years, I would have to say that there are a few areas that I have cultivated some measure of expertise about. Those would include:

  • Anxiety
  • Trauma
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Eating Disorders
  • Relationship Conflicts

It is my professional passion to participate with others, through counseling, in the growth, healing and maturity that only God, through Christ, brings.

Growth and Development Secretary/Receptionist
B.A. Psychology, Simpson College 2004

Before coming to Redding to attend Simpson University, I lived in Washington State. During my time here I worked in the SU library in various roles and also had the opportunity to intern in the Career Services office. After graduating I worked as an instructional aide at Mistletoe State Preschool, which I thoroughly enjoyed. For the last year my husband has worked in financial services at a local office in Redding. We are both pursuing graduate degrees, my husband’s in Business Administration and mine in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am excited to be a part of the Simpson staff and look forward to forming many new relationships.
