Ally Padilla, LPC
Clinical Director, Therapist
As a native to the Shenandoah Valley and an official “townie,” I cannot imagine a world without college students. College is such a unique and often overwhelming time for students, they are faced with so many questions like: Who am I? What do I want to do? And where do I belong? Read Full bio.
Mark Sensabaugh, LPC, LMFT
Therapist, Approved Clinical Supervisor
The world we live in provides ample opportunity to experience relational pain, confusing life experiences, and circumstances that expose growth areas and distortions in our perceptions. I love the picture of our lives being a journey in which we face a variety of different seasons . . . winters of loss, stillness, and quiet reflection . . . spring times of new life and discovery . . . warm summers of growth . . . and autumns of harvests and the realization that life as we know it is coming to a close.

Daniel R. Borden, MFTC, LPC
Therapist
Traveling was always a part of my life. I moved to Zimbabwe at age 7, and then to South Africa at age 12 as my parents were career missionaries. I’ve always enjoyed meeting people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. That was the exiting part of growing up overseas! My childhood was filled with change and ‘home’ changed so much! Together, my many ‘homes’ hold a kaleidoscope of memories, conversations, friends, cultures, and various forms of other things left behind. Read full bio.

Cara Huber, MSW
Therapist, Supervisee in Social Work
I understand the importance of having a voice and the need to have a compassionate guide to help you navigate through the many changes and confusions of both growing up and reconciling with your past. My hope is that I can be the therapist I needed then to those who need it now. I want to provide a safe space for your voice, or the voice of your child, to be heard. Read Full Bio.
Sarah DeBoer, MAMFT, LPC
Therapist, Approved Clinical Supervisor
*** Sarah is not taking new clients.
I grew up in Delaware and moved to Virginia at age 18. My journey to becoming a counselor began at James Madison University while I was working with and hearing the struggles of youth in the church I was attending. My wish was to not only hear about these struggles but to help do something about them- to speak truth into their wounds and give them the skills to bring about desired growth in their lives.

Rachel Jecklin, LPC

I grew up in Philadelphia to Christian parents, and during elementary school we had numerous infant foster brothers and sisters in our home. My parents later adopted two children into our family. From the earliest moments of my memory, it was apparent how important childhood, family, and faith were in shaping our lives and our stories. Read full bio.

My journey began as a young police officer working mostly in southern Florida from 1973-1984. During my 15 years of service, I saw and experienced great triumph and indescribable tragedy while patrolling the streets and investigating child abuse. My eyes were opened to the every day life of folks around me – many of whom were living in the midst of crime, violence, and broken homes. Read Full Bio.
