Stephanie Murphy

CEO

Drawing from a diverse background in social services and organizational leadership, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my work. Beginning my career as a Social Worker at Hopewell Center in Anderson, IN, I dedicated myself to supporting individuals and families facing various challenges, providing them with the resources and assistance needed to thrive.

Progressing in my career, I assumed the role of Director of Social Services at United Cerebral Palsy Ohio, where I championed the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities, advocating for inclusive and equitable opportunities for all.

My journey then led me to serve as the Financial Director for AYS Inc, where I leveraged my financial acumen to ensure the stability and sustainability of programs aimed at supporting youth and families in need.

Transitioning into leadership roles, I served as the Executive Director of Geist Kids Academy, overseeing the development and implementation of high-quality early childhood education programs, fostering the intellectual and emotional growth of young learners.

My dedication to serving diverse communities led me to undertake roles such as Case Management Services at Howard Health, where I provided comprehensive support to individuals navigating complex healthcare systems, and Intake Coordinator and Supervised Visitation Coordinator at Howard Health, where I ensured the safety and well-being of families in crisis.
 

Tamra Rigdon Therapist

Therapist

I've traversed the intricate maze of life's challenges, intimately acquainted with its twists and turns. From navigating the tumult of single parenthood to enduring the shadows of severe domestic violence, and bearing the weight of two children rendered 100% disabled by the ravages of war in Afghanistan, I've weathered storms that would break many.

My journey took me down unexpected paths; I chose to do life in reverse, opting to drop out of high school in the 12th grade. But with resilience as my compass, I charted a course toward redemption. At 36, with four children in tow, I returned to the classroom, determined to rewrite my story. With no grand plan, just unwavering determination, I pursued my education one semester at a time.

What emerged from the ashes of adversity was a beacon of hope — a Master's degree in Mental Health and Addiction. For over 15 years, I've served as a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Social Worker, specializing in addiction, leading Intensive Outpatient Programs, facilitating various group therapies, and offering support to military personnel and survivors of domestic violence. My approach is multifaceted, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Perspective, and Client-Centered modalities.
