Meet our Clinical Supervisors

JENNY BEALL, MA, LPCC, THERAPIST & FOUNDER

I have a heart for those who have been wounded by relationships and difficult life situations. My passion is to walk with people through their pain and help them find hope and freedom from their past. I graduated from Bethel University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and completed additional Marriage and Family Therapy coursework through Adler Graduate School. My style is very practical and insight-oriented and I like helping individuals and families think about situations in new ways to get un-stuck. I am a real person in the counseling office and use humor to help you feel comfortable and enjoy the process. My Therapy puppy, Pip, attends some sessions with me for those who wish to incorporate Animal Assisted Therapy.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients and have extensive experience working with divorce family issues, kids and teens, ADHD, adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, people pleasing, and healthy boundary setting. I have a special interest in helping individuals who are in relationship with toxic people such as spouses or children of people with personality disorders.

I provide parent coaching and particularly ascribe to behavioral methods and the model developed in “Parenting with Love and Logic” as it teaches children to be responsible for their own behavior and empowers their parents as coaches and allies rather than adversaries. I am a certified Prepare/Enrich couple and group facilitator. I also have a special interest in healing the wounds of sexual addictions and have received training through the American Association of Christian Counselors. I love to meet the needs of the hurting and help them continue to grow into the people they were made to be.

I am licensed and able to provide services and clinical supervision for residents of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Arizona.

I am a South Carolina Telehealth Registered Professional Counselor: (TLC PC 1116) allowing me to provide telehealth services to clients residing in South Carolina as well.

I am a Florida TLHT Licensed Mental Health Counselor (TPMC 4301) allowing me to provide telehealth services to clients residing in Florida.

KRISTA NEWMAN, MA, LPCC, CLINICAL DIRECTOR

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and have been active in the field of mental health and wellness since 2009 and have been a board approved Clinical Supervisor since 2013. I have extensive training and passion in work with trauma including dealing with abuse, anxiety and PTSD, anger management, and relationships impacted by abusive partners. 

I have experience, in particular, working with clients who are in relationships with abusive partners such as those struggling with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality disorders; I love to help individuals find the strength to set limits and emotionally heal from some of the “invisible abuse” that occurs within these relationships.

The theoretical model I most utilize is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also certified in the highly effective treatment of Eye-Movement-Desensitization-Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition, for Supervision, I offer knowledge in the areas of HIPAA compliance, professional documentation, and private practice business ownership and marketing.

Jennifer Stubblefield, MA, LADC, LPCC, Clinical Director

I am a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have a Master’s Degree in Addictions and Mental Health. I’ve spent 8+ years helping individuals gain insight and hope. My passion is to assist those in healing, growing and transforming into the best versions of themselves.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families. My areas of focus include working with those who are survivors of childhood abuse or trauma, addictions, abusive relationships, narcissistic partners, low self-esteem/shame issues, codependency/boundaries, dating/marital relationship conflicts, improving communication and conflict resolution and parenting issues.  I also have experience working with those whom have been incarcerated and want to change their lifestyle and challenge their old way of thinking.

I value being able to integrate the Christian faith into the counseling process to the extent that you are interested in this approach. I ascribe to CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Person Centered Therapy. I believe we are all on a journey in life and no matter where you are at in yours there is hope because “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

CERISE LEWIS, PHD, MS, LMFT, MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST, CLINICAL SUPERVISOR

I am a MFT and LPCC board approved supervisor and in my clinical work I enjoy working with married couples, children and families. I specialize in working with communities of color, families, couples and school aged children. Another area of special interest for me is the ethical integration of faith into clinical practice and ways that clinicians can be trained to effectively do this. I ascribe to family systems approaches to counseling and I integrate play therapy approaches when working with little ones.

My experience with this work began over twenty years ago, at a nondenominational church, counseling couples and their families through relationship and parenting challenges. My personal experience, in marriage and raising six children with my husband has equipped me with skills to empathize with others and integrate faith into practice, if desired.
