JORDAN WILSON
RESIDENT IN COUNSELING​, MEd
Hello! My name is Jordan Wilson and I am a Resident in Counseling working with children and teens ages 8+, as well as young adults. I grew up in a family of five in King, North Carolina and moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana for my adolescent years. I’ve had nine years of experience working with adolescents and in 2019 I received my MEd in Counselor Education at the University of Virginia. For two years, I worked as a school counselor for middle school students in Greene County, and am familiar with the ups and downs of adolescence, especially in this community. In my free time you can find me playing with my dogs Gretzky and Princess Buttercup, hiking with my partner, thrifting, playing cozy video games, painting, or sharing my “self-proclaimed expert” foodie opinions to anyone who will listen :)
​
I work empathetically and collaboratively with those wanting to learn more about themselves, gain insight into their thinking patterns and behavior, and to build their own confidence. I work with folks to help them get in touch with their story—to help empower the ability to tell it, to share it, or to change it. If you have found yourself or your child lost, anxious, devastated, or angry, together we can connect to a sense of meaning and create a tailored therapeutic experience.
​
​I specialize in an integrative and strength-based approach, looking at the ways in which resilience has shown up in the face of obstacles in life. I also spend a large part of therapy deconstructing the ways in which societal systems impact our mental health and processing traumatic experiences. For my younger clients, I work with parents and families to help you create a safe environment for your child to express themselves and build/strengthen your relationship.
While my integrative approach is based on best-fit, here are the following therapy modalities I borrow from the most: Humanistic, narrative, acceptance and commitment, internal family systems, multicultural/feminist, trauma-focused, existential, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, mindfulness, and play and art-based techniques.
I’d love to get to know YOUR story—not the story society tells about you, not the story others have told you about yourself, but the story and meaning YOU make about you. I’m here to help build the confidence and empowerment you are worthy of. Because YOU matter—you always have, and always will.

Kate Scales
Licensed PRofessional Counselor, LPC, EdS
I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BA in Drama in 2001. After earning my EdS in School Counseling in 2007, I stepped back from the workforce in order to spend time with my young children. During my time off, I continued to prioritize service to the community through volunteer work with the Shelter For Help in Emergency, ReadyKids and the Adult Learning Center.
I have spent the past four years working as a Therapeutic Day Treatment Specialist with Region Ten CSB striving to be rigorous about collaborating with parents and other providers in the community and about creating spaces of safety where children can feel supported in expressing their feelings.
My time working with children inspired me to become a Licensed Professional Counselor with the goal of becoming a community counselor. When working with clients, I incorporate motivational interviewing, interpersonal process, play and expressive therapies and brief interventions to empower clients to meet their life goals.
Caylyn Arbogast
RESIDENT IN COUNSELING, MA, EdS​
While pursuing my Master’s degree at James Madison University, I discovered a profound commitment to serving rural communities. This passion led me to an enriching internship in Page County, VA, where I have continued to serve ever since. My professional journey includes experience as a Crisis Therapist, mental health therapist, and therapist for Page County's Adult Recovery Court Program.
Currently, as a Resident in Counseling, I provide a range of therapeutic services to clients aged 6 and up, including individual, group, couple, and family therapy. My integrative therapeutic approach is designed to address diverse needs and is largely based on a Humanistic foundation with interventions that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), expressive arts, Play Therapy, and other evidence-based interventions.
I am a generalist who has worked with clients facing serious mental illness, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, identity challenges, trauma, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and comorbid substance use disorders.

Therapy can be a great opportunity to learn how to make the changes you want to see, and you absolutely can change your life. What you have experienced or been through does not define who you are. By learning more about yourself, you can change the way you think and build a better life that you deserve. What I do best is help you develop self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a healthier lifestyle. If you are experiencing anxiety, anger, depression, shame, negative thinking, trauma/PTSD, or substance use concerns, and you’re ready to change your life, reach out to me, and let’s get to work!
