Jennie Dalcour, MA, LPC
Clinical Supervisor, Child & Family Therapist
She believes her role in therapy is to be a guide, to walk alongside clients, as they develop their own strength and motivation to change. Healing and change are organic processes that vary with each individual, occurring when clients feel accepted and safe where they are. She tailors therapy to each person to address current concerns and past trauma when appropriate.
She believes that clients are the experts in their own lives. She views clients’ experiences through a family systems lens, understanding how family dynamics affect people throughout their lives. She is a licensed professional counselor specializing in treating complex developmental and attachment trauma in children, adolescents, and adults.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her children and pets. She is also active in her church as a children’s teacher.
Michelle Lunka, LMFT
Clinical Supervisor/Therapist
Michelle is a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Practitioner, Making Sense of Your Worth® (MSOYW®) Facilitator, and is EMDR trained.
She sees the world through the lens of relationships and the impact of our experiences within those relationships – both past and present. She is an avid learner and especially enjoys learning more about interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, the impact of trauma on our body and brain, and incorporating movement and sensory experiences into counseling. Her heart is that every client finds compassion for themselves, their partner, or their children and deep levels of healing individually and interpersonally.
Michelle and her husband have two adult children, were foster parents in the past, and are active in the community.

Sarah Earles, MS, LPC, NCC
Clinical Supervisor/Child & Family Therapist
If God can raise Jesus from the dead, he can do anything! True, lasting change is a partnership between the Holy Spirit, you, and the team you trust. She would be honored to be part of your team, not telling you what to do, but rather providing care, encouragement, and perspective along the way.
You can choose if you would like faith-based content in therapy or not. Her faith motivates her to do what she does, but she is here to help you and your family achieve healing, health, and happiness based on what those mean to you. Expect lots of brainstorming for creative ideas, body movement or other interactive activities, and life metaphors from her in session. She believes that health and healing are whole-person experiences!
She and her husband have lived in a variety of other states but call Arizona home. In her spare time, she enjoys running, hiking, cooking, crafting, reading, and writing.
Seth Strawn, MS, LPC
Clinical Supervisor, Child & Family Therapist
His goal as a counselor is to help people through the process of healing. He wants to walk alongside people to support them as they continue moving forward toward a place of wholeness, wellness, and peace, paying attention to all aspects of a person’s well-being… emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, and physical.
He believes that a large part of personal growth and healing comes when people are able to recognize and build upon their strengths while at the same time being able to express and process their challenges openly and safely in an environment where they are listened to, respected, and feel understood. Everyone has a story to tell, everyone’s stories are different, and all of those stories are still in process.
His hope is to help people feel secure and rooted in a strong sense of identity and to find meaning and purpose within their own stories. As a counselor, he is able to provide a safe space for this to happen by meeting people where they are at while providing compassion, empathy, authenticity, and acceptance.
His faith and belief in Jesus as a Christian are the most significant reasons and motivations for why he does what he does. For those who are open to it, he is excited to incorporate the skills from counseling sessions with spiritual and faith-based beliefs.
His favorite ways to spend his time include hiking, being outdoors and in nature, remaining physically active, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Stephen Kaech, MA, LAMFT
Marriage & Family Therapist
His desire is to work with all aspects of the relationships within families--whether it is the husband-wife, parent-child, or sibling relationship, and within all family types--nuclear, step/blended, foster, or adoptive--each being unique and valuable in God’s eyes in their own special ways.
Having spent many years going on short-term mission trips around the world, he is keenly aware of the unique aspects that culture can bring to the therapeutic environment.
He has been married to his wife for 23 years, and together, (they are a stepfamily) they have four daughters and seven grandchildren. They love spending time with family as well as traveling the world--whether it is flying to a destination or cruising.
