Kellen Weber
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
I am passionate about being a counselor and work diligently to help make a difference in the lives of my clients. I enjoy working with children and adolescents, particularly to assist with their development and understanding of interpersonal relationships.
In addition to working with adolescents, I specialize in treating adults with autism or those who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I value the time it takes to build the foundation for a trusting and safe relationship.
I have experience working with adults and adolescents with autism and addiction, play therapy with children, adolescents with conduct disorders, and young adults going through stages of life changes, as well as treating depression and anxiety in individuals of all age ranges.
I hold a Master’s in Counselor Education from the University of Mississippi and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Ohio. My mission is to help improve the lives of my clients to the best of my abilities.

Kim Haring
Licensed Professional Counselor
I offer support and counseling through a holistic, preventative model. My goal is to understand and address your biological, social, mental and spiritual needs to better support you as a whole person. Working with your unique strengths, abilities, different worldviews and cultural experiences will be important to our work. Collaborating through curiosity and compassion enhances our collaboration and supports your natural strengths and abilities. It is my privilege to assist you on your journey towards flourishing in your relationships, and emotional, spiritual, and mental health skills.
There are many tricks and self-help tools freely promoted on the internet. However, a real person who seeks to understand and show compassion is not an easy find. My specialty is listening and meeting you where you are. As your ally, I desire to help you set goals, will hold you accountable, and believe in your potential to succeed.
I enjoy assisting clients who wish to better understand themselves – motivated clients willing to partner towards personal growth. I also invite any clients who are hurting or stuck. You are not alone during life’s inevitable struggles and challenges. Please know you will be offered a safe, supportive space where caring and help is available to you.
Casey Stockett
Autism Coach
Casey is delighted to have the chance to help others informed by her firsthand knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder/Asperger’s syndrome. Casey enjoys working with individuals on the autism spectrum and those who have neuro-developmental disorders. She has spent many years working with children and adults on the Spectrum to help them gain their skills and develop. I work with children who are non-verbal l too.
I have always been passionate about helping individuals on the Spectrum. I have close family members and friends with Autism. Growing up I can see I noticed that my family and friends with Autism didn’t have the resources to help them in their daily lives. This inspired me to gain the skills and resources to help people with Autism. I believe everyone has the right to get the help they need!
My M.S. is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My life goal is to help each and every single person that I can and help them develop to be the best version of themselves!
