Meet The Team

Rich is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who founded Green Leaf Counseling & Coaching after a career in retail and financial leadership. Under his leadership, the practice has grown from a solo model into a collaborative group, and he regularly leads workshops infusing each with compassion, strategic vision, and empowerment.

Halie earned her BSW (2020) and MSW (2024) from Western Kentucky University and began her career in foster care before specializing in trauma-informed child, adolescent, and family therapy. She co-developed the Parent Circle workshop to strengthen caregiver confidence, mentors WKU social work students, and recharges through reading, baking, and her love of ’60s–’70s music.

Lauren holds a BS in Occupational Health & Safety and transitioned from heavy-civil construction safety consulting to manage operations at Green Leaf and First Presbyterian Church. With an empathy-driven, human-centered approach, she ensures every interaction makes a difference. Off-duty you’ll find her hiking, kayaking, reading, or chasing trails as a former ultra-trail half-marathoner.
