Van Wert Counseling is proud to announce a significant and exciting development in the life of the practice. Long-time team member Katlyn Short, MSW, LISW-S, has officially assumed ownership, marking a new chapter in the organization’s continued mission to provide exceptional mental health services to the community.
Ms. Short has been a dedicated member of the Van Wert Counseling team for many years. Her clinical expertise and commitment to compassionate care make her well-positioned to lead the practice into its next phase.
