Leigh Reedy
Director of MHCS
LISW-CP
Leigh works with people who recognize their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are deep inside or their life goals. People often come to Leigh for help when they have identified that they want to become a better version of their current self and are ready to put in the effort to become the person they want to be – a person filled with peace, self-love, and hope for the future.
Growing up with people close to her dealing with mental illness encouraged Leigh to seek out a career to help those who have dealt with hard things in life. She helps her clients overcome these obstacles to become a better person than the cards life dealt them. She has often been the person that others come to when needing an extra ear to help them work through life problems, and she decided to become a social worker during her volunteer work through Hospice.
“I appreciate the diverse ways we can grow, learn, and change when working with the right therapeutic connection.”
Leigh is certified in EMDR and uses this technique when helping clients process difficult traumas they have led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She also uses a mix of Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as modalities to help clients move toward a place of healing.

Ken Barwick
M.Div, MSW, LMFT
Ordained Elder in the UMC
Ken, a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor (LMFT), works with a variety of people seeking counseling to improve their lives and better understand themselves. By tapping into his clients’ self-awareness, he helps clients learn healthier skills to manage their life circumstances, fostering growth in multiple areas of their life where they may be currently struggling.
Ken entered the counseling field to better understand himself, which has provided him the tools to grow in his personal life and better understand where his clients are coming from. He meets clients where they are along their healing path and helps them through the mental roadblocks.
Ken enjoys teaching others to become more self-aware and understand their own strengths. He helps people understand how they fit into this world, while allowing them the space needed to continue to personally grow and heal from their past.
“I see crises as opportunities for growth – spiritual growth, emotional growth, and relational growth.”
In more recent years, Ken has often helped his clients tap into their core motivations and apply self-knowledge to all areas of their lives by incorporating the Enneagram into his therapeutic practice. The Enneagram helps people gain a deeper sense of their unique personalities, learn conflict resolution techniques based upon their personality styles, and develop deeper leadership and emotional intelligence.

Martha Beahm
EdS. DMin, LPC (SC + VA), LMFT,
NBC - HWC (Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach)
Martha works with adults experiencing difficult life transitions, looking for a holistic and improved quality of living. Martha enjoys helping women find their voice and identities in life, guiding them to understand the complexities and specific concerns that often come with being a woman. She thrives in helping people navigate grief and loss, whether that grief stems from death of a loved one, relationships ending, or other life circumstances that take a toll on your mental health and well-being. She is trained in the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) technique for folks ready to work through childhood trauma and PTSD.
By integrating various aspects of a person’s life – their mental health, spiritual well-being, physical health, and social well-being – Martha helps her clients connect all aspects of well-being into creating more purpose and meaning in their life. She understands that when one of these aspects of health and well-being suffer, the individual as a whole has a hard time to keep up with the demands of life and showing up as their authentic selves. With her skills and experience as a Wellness Coach, her approach is to address healing the past, while guiding clients to think about their quality of life when making future choices.
“It is sacred work for me to witness a person claiming their value and the gift of who they are and to believe they can be more than they have known in the past. Growth is risky business because it moves a client out of their comfort zone.”
It takes great courage to come to counseling and work on becoming better versions of ourselves.
Martha works with adults who are experiencing life transitions and have an awareness for growth and want to heal. She works with adults from all walks of life, backgrounds, and faith practices.
Martha’s specialties:
Grief and loss
Women’s issues
Life transitions
Couples and individuals seeking relationship support
