  • Kathleen Matheny, Client Care Coordinator

    What motivates me most is the opportunity to help clients and staff every day. I love being able to support others, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing people leave the office with a more positive and upbeat attitude.

  • Lakyn Ogle, Client Care Coordinator

    My goal is compassionately support individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth by ensuring they feel seen, supported, and valued from their first point of contact. I am deeply motivated by witnessing clients transform into more fulfilled versions of themselves through the care and services we provide.

  • Jaden Kimble, Billing Coordinator

    My goal is to support my community by helping clients clearly understand their insurance and billing, reducing confusion and stress during what can already be a vulnerable time. I strive to communicate with clarity, empathy, and patience so clients feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their care.

  • Mackenzie Bennett, Practice Manager

    My goal is to foster a stable, thriving environment where both the business and our team can succeed. By supporting my teammates, strengthening our operations, and staying focused on meaningful outcomes, I aim to help create a practice where growth is intentional, challenges are met with steady leadership, and the work we do leads to lasting, positive impact for our clients and our community.
