Licensed Professional Counselor
Certified EMDR Therapist
Lauren Patches Keller, LPC
A majority of my experience is with families and individuals. I was trained as a Functional Family Therapist, working with high conflict and high risk adolescents and their families. I have also loved working in an outpatient setting with individuals of all ages and struggles. I take a strength based approach, using empathy, compassion, truth, and nonjudgment to create a safe environment for my clients to heal, change, and grow.
I am also a grief and loss counselor, an EMDR therapist, and have experience treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders.
Elizabeth (Betsy Klein) Van Leur, LMFT
I am passionate about walking with people to heal from life’s hurts, and assisting them to learn how to walk in health and wholeness. Acquiring practical tools and learning new ways to view and grapple with life can be challenging. You are not alone on this journey. Together, we will discover the best path for you using a holistic approach to care for your needs. I am trained in family systems and utilize evidence-based theories with families, couples, and individuals.

Jacey believes in the power of healing (physically, emotionally, and spiritually) and, therefore, takes a holistic approach to customizing treatment to meet the unique needs of her clients. She considers it an honor to come alongside her clients and support them on their healing journey. Jacey uses modalities such as (TF-CBT, CPT, DBT, and ESFT) along with therapeutic play, therapeutic art activities, breathwork, mindfulness, and movement to promote change, growth, and connection to self, others, and God.

Gillian Glackin, LMFT
As a committed life-long learner, I find my curiosity satisfied through the therapy field. Sitting with people working to make sense of their stories has invited me to reflect on what it means to truly live and heal. Working with individuals and couples provides me with a rich understanding of systems and people's pursuit of wholeness. Therapeutically, I engage with an eclectic approach, often pulling from a blend of IFS, Narrative, and systems theory with a nod toward CBT concepts. I desire to continue to create and cultivate environments that promote healing and encourage the curious.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Ken Sensenig, MAMFT
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a special focus on couples and trauma treatment and care. I see families and individuals with a wide range of concerns and struggles. You will find me to be warm, personable, and caring. With regard to couple relationships, I look for strengths and resources that are already present while also exploring and mapping out pathways to further increase trust, commitment and relational intimacy. While doing this, I still attend to relational wounds and breaks in trust.
With regard to trauma, I use the treatment model of MEMI, which stands for Multichannel Eye Movement Integration. This is similar in many ways to EMDR but also has a few notable differences.
