Our TEAM

---

Hi, I’m Will Knapple, Executive Director here at Wholistic Health. I’ve spent over a decade working in community, operations, and development services, and I’m passionate about making mental health, wellness, and professional development services more accessible and better understood.

At Wholistic Health, I provide a wide range of professional services to individuals, providers, and organizations. For individuals, I offer Career Development Coaching, Career & Educational Assessments, and College Testing, helping clients explore options—whether they’re launching a new career, switching paths, or preparing to return to school.

For providers and organizations, I offer consulting and operational support, including billing and credentialing services, program development, and administrative operations. As a Certified Professional Biller (CPB), I help ensure providers and organizations stay organized, compliant, and set up for success.

I’m always happy to connect—whether you’re an individual seeking guidance or a provider or agency looking for support in professional development, operations, or program growth. Let’s talk about how I can help you move forward.

I’m Shelby and my goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. I promise to walk beside you in your journey to healing and wholeness with professional and confidential care. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate its techniques to suit all ages. I work with anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and trauma using CBT and DBT techniques. 

 Hi, I’m Rachel Coliron, the Care Coordinator here at Wholistic Health. I’m typically the first point of contact for new clients and referral partners, and I work to ensure that getting connected to care is a smooth, timely, and supportive experience.

I bring over seven years of experience as a detail-oriented medical assistant with a strong background in patient care, medical scheduling, and administrative support. 

In my role, I combine my clinical and administrative strengths to provide warm, professional, and efficient support. 

I’m proud to be part of a team that values whole-person care and truly supports clients throughout their journey.

Hi I’m Maria! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and hold a certification as a Registered Play Therapist™. I work with individuals ages 4-18, along with their caregivers. As an RPT™, I have had extensive education, training and supervision in the field of play therapy. Like adults, children can have difficult times and can benefit from counseling. However, the approach used with young children may look quite a bit different than the ones used with an adult. Play therapy uses the language that children know best- PLAY- to assist with communicating things that they may be unable to communicate with words. To learn more about play therapy and its effectiveness, you can visit the Association for Play Therapy at a4pt.org.

 Hello, my name is Austin Mckown. I am happy to offer career and educational coaching services through Wholistic Health. I hold a master’s degree in professional school counseling, and I have spent the past 7 years in education including working as a school counselor here in the Van Buren School District. I am enthusiastic about helping both adolescents and adults on their educational and career Journey’s as well as offering development opportunities in the area.  

 Hi, I’m Anastasia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 10–25. I help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

I’m especially passionate about supporting teens and young adults as they prepare for their next stage of life, while also helping younger clients develop emotional skills and confidence. I collaborate with parents to build supportive routines at home that reinforce progress outside of sessions.

I am trained in EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach. While I value evidence-based practices, I recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I strive to meet each client where they are and tailor my approach to support meaningful, lasting growth.

  Hi, I’m Melissa, a Speech-Language Pathologist. I specialize in comprehensive autism evaluations for both children and adults, and I’m passionate about helping individuals and families gain clarity, understanding, and meaningful next steps.

I conduct autism assessments using instruments such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). My evaluations are thorough and strengths-based, and I strive to provide clear, supportive feedback that helps guide treatment planning, school or workplace supports, and access to appropriate services.

In addition to diagnostic evaluations, I also provide speech-language pathology services, supporting clients with communication, social-pragmatic skills, and language development. 

I am committed to creating a welcoming, affirming experience for neurodivergent individuals of all ages and helping clients and families feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout the evaluation and treatment process.

 Hello! I’m Sarah, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I specialize in supporting adults who are ready to embrace change in their lives.

I take great satisfaction in helping individuals realize that their past doesn't dictate their future and that they hold the power to shape their own paths. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where positive change can flourish. I primarily work with anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD, employing CBT and DBT techniques to guide my clients.

I've worked as a child and family therapist for more than 35 years in clinic and school-based settings. My true passion is working with children ages 4 to 10 years old and their families. Children, like adults., can learn coping skills and ways to better deal with their feelings and behaviors. I enjoy helping parents/caregivers and their children with childhood behaviors including ADHD, Trauma, anxiety, anger issues, oppositional/defiant behaviors, peer relationships and other childhood difficulties. It is important that children get the help they need because they are our future!

My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, drawing from ACT, CBT, DBT, EFIT, IFS, SFBT, and RCT.
