MEGAN TILLMAN, LMFT

Therapist

Hello! I'm Megan Tillman and I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I've been counseling individuals, couples, and families for 12 years and consider it an honor to be trusted in each client's journey. My heart as a therapist is to provide a safe and warm space to heal and grow, especially from issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship problems, and women's issues. I work with clients from many backgrounds, but very much enjoy integrating Christian faith into the counseling process. I have a casual, down to earth style and work from a systemic perspective. I am trained in EMDR, Blast Technique, and EFT and love to utilize these powerful tools whenever appropriate.

LAUREN DUREN, LPC

Therapist

Hello! I'm Lauren Duren and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who has had the pleasure of counseling individuals, couples, and families for the last 13 years.  I truly enjoy helping people learn to shift from coping to healing by gaining skills to improve their lives and transform unhealthy beliefs in order to walk in freedom. My style is relaxed and warm to create a safe space, but I'm not afraid to use humor to help ease the tension that sharing feelings can sometimes create.

​

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, military issues, relationships, parenting, grief/loss, and spiritual issues. I also enjoy incorporating Christian faith into sessions for those seeking clinical Christian care.

​

In addition to being a Professional Counselor, I'm also a Registered Play Therapist, and Certified Life Mentor.

MARLA ROUNTREE, LPC

Therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that has worked with a variety of populations during my 13 year career. My theoretical perspective is that people are neither good or bad, only stuck in cycles of thought, behavior, and emotions. My favorite part of this career is walking beside people learn how to implement strategies and achieve emotional freedom.


I utilize a variety of therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Blast Technique.

I provide a safe, nurturing environment in which clients can explore their life challenges without pressure or judgement.

SARAH STEEDMAN JAMES, LCSW

Therapist

I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.


I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 10 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.


Therapy can be an extremely difficult yet rewarding step that can be taken towards achieving one's personal goals. I recognize the value in guiding my clients to feel a sense of empowerment in life, as well as throughout their treatment. I look forward to helping people become their best selves.

SHEA WALKER, MFT

Therapist

Hi! My name is Shea Walker, and I am a pre-licensed clinician with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and hold a certification in Mental Performance Mastery.

My ideal client is someone who is seeking change and is motivated to do the work. My therapeutic approach tends to focus on what is changeable and possible, with attention to effective behaviors that create a growth mindset. During our sessions, you can expect a direct, down-to-earth therapist who does not mind using humor and humility.


If you are facing life head on and feel stuck, aimless, anxious or fearful, I can help. I am currently open to new clients and look forward to meeting you.

SHAUN EILDERS, LPC

Therapist

My name is Shaun Eilders and I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor for 25 years. I have an extensive history of working with children and adolescents, working with parents, children, and the entire family to help families resolve issues and heal. I have experience in working with adult mental health issues including anxiety, depression, trauma exposure, PTSD, and substance abuse. I also have experience working with couples to aid them in resolving issues and strengthening their relationships.


I typically employ Cognitive/Behavioral and/or a Solution Focused approach to therapy. I let the client’s needs and where they are in their own journey of healing and discovery guide how approach therapy. I believe it is paramount to meet clients where they are when they make the choice to enter therapy. I try to be pragmatic and efficient in helping my clients identify the issues that they want to address in therapy and help equip them with the tools needed to help them along their therapeutic journey.


I understand that the therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming and intimidating, especially for first time therapy participants and with that in mind I am non-judgmental, and I have the experience needed to create an environment where people are comfortable and feel safe and secure. This allows clients to be able to do the work of self-examination, exploration and ultimately healing. I look forward to being able to bring my many years of therapeutic experience to aid individuals, couples and families achieve therapeutic results that will improve their lives and lead them to a healthier and happier future.
