Please help us welcome our newest intern, Hannah Leonard, to Heritage Family Counseling!

Hannah is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wichita State University, after earning her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She has experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, and self-worth concerns.

Hannah’s calling to counseling is deeply rooted in her faith. With years of ministry experience, she has walked alongside individuals in both spiritual and emotional growth, seeking to reflect the love of Christ in every interaction. She strives to create a warm, safe, and welcoming space where clients can experience both grace and truth.

Believing that hope is never lost, Hannah integrates practical therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy with biblical principles to help clients find healing, freedom, and lasting transformation. She considers it a privilege to journey with others as they discover the peace, identity, and purpose God has for them.

Please welcome our newest intern, Glendon Thompson, to the Heritage Family!

Glendon is an LPC student intern bringing over 24 years of experience in the fire service, along with a lifetime of leadership, ministry, and a deep commitment to serving others. A seasoned first responder and devoted minister in the Christian faith, Glendon is driven by a passion to help people confront the deeper questions of life and discover their true calling.

Throughout his life, Glendon has worn many hats: firefighter, husband, father, minister, musician, mentor, and now counselor-in-training. His background includes directing and speaking at numerous church youth camps, leading worship through music, and guiding individuals and families through both crisis and celebration. Having been married for over 25 years and raising three children, Glendon brings a grounded and compassionate perspective to the challenges of marriage, parenting, and personal growth.

His experience in emergency services has given him unique insight into the human impact of trauma, PTSD, and the quiet struggles that often go unseen. He is especially passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate those emotional and existential challenges with honesty, resilience, and hope.

In his spare time, Glendon enjoys the culinary arts, physical fitness, and all things outdoors—from hiking and kayaking to shooting sports and fishing. While older than the average counseling student, his life experience is a rich asset to his work, and his youthful heart keeps him relatable, energetic, and fully engaged with those he serves.

Glendon is dedicated to walking alongside others as they uncover their worth, strengthen their relationships, and live lives of purpose and authenticity.

Her aim is to help families flourish, marriages prosper, and individuals recognize their inherent worth in who they are purposely designed to be. Emily will aid clients in setting strength-based goals, developing skills to enhance relationship building, and by re-framing negative narratives in order to promote positive change.

Outside of therapy, Emily enjoys time with her husband and son. She loves a good game night with friends and family (she may be a little competitive). Emily is also very passionate about music; she sings, plays the piano, guitar and violin, and she often enjoys song-writing. Emily believes music can be a very therapeutic way to express emotion. As Hans Christian Andersen puts it, "Where words fail, music speaks."
