Jason and Stacy began Dayspring Counseling Center, Inc. simply as a way to provide care to those who are struggling. They have a fundamental belief that people can improve their lives. Their belief that people can change the way they think, feel, and act is a driving force behind their work at Dayspring.


Since the opening of Dayspring Counseling Center, Inc. in 2015, they have committed themselves to the idea that people can have better relationships, a stronger sense of purpose, and have fulfilling lives regardless of what they have been through or where they’ve come from.

Jason and Stacy’s faith is important to them. In case you are wondering, the name “Dayspring” comes from Luke 1:76 – 78 (NKJV),

And you, child, will be called the
prophet of the Highest;

For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

To give knowledge of salvation to His people

By the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God,

With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;

To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,

To guide our feet into the way of peace.

Jason and Stacy have 4 children. They love to travel, play golf, enjoy the outdoors, and serve in their church.

Hello! My name is Charity Rossi. I have been a therapist at Dayspring since November of 2021. Prior to working at Dayspring, I had five years of experience as a therapist and ten years of experience total as a social worker. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Alderson-Broaddus College. I obtained a Master of Social Work degree from West Virginia University in 2004, with a focus in direct practice. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of West Virginia.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to help them make changes that will improve their quality of life. I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral approach to help clients see how their experiences, thoughts, and beliefs can lead to negative emotional states, such as being depressed or anxious.

I grew up in Logan, WV. After attending Alderson-Broaddus, in Philippi, WV, I made my home in Charleston, WV. I have three sons that have kept me very busy. I enjoy boating, fishing, hiking, sporting events, and spending time with family and friends.
