Renovate Counseling names supervisor, 1-year

As Renovate Counseling in Huntington approaches their one-year anniversary they have named a new site supervisor. Local resident Tim Gilleand (pictured at left) will help oversee day to day operations of this private practice mental health facility.

Renovate started in Bluffton, Indiana almost seven years ago by Lane Sander. Renovate expanded into Huntington in July of 2022. Since then the Huntington location has expanded to helping over 40 clients per week and having six therapists working out of the location. In its first year, Renovate Huntington has helped over 100 clients.

Sander mentions that in Bluffton it took much longer to reach that milestone. Tim Gilleand steps in at this time to help with a growing need. Gilleand is a licensed therapist and will in addition to having a caseload of his own will help with supervision of other therapists as they work towards full licensure.

Gilleand and his family moved to Huntington seven years ago to pursue a career in mental health, and is excited to now be working close to home helping clients in his own community. Gilleand brings a passion to help clients see full restoration and healing. Gilleand says that he loves taking clients on a journey through forgiveness therapy and is trained in EMDR for deeper trauma.

Renovate Huntington operates out of Hope Rising Church on Etna Avenue. Although a Christian organization, Renovate Counseling accepts all people regardless of faith affiliation, and also serves many people who seek them out for faith-based services. They accept all forms of commercial insurance and are excited to be another local option for clients with Medicaid/HIP/Medicare. For those without insurance, they offer low-cost options including working with interns.

Renovate will hold a one-year anniversary ribbon cutting with the Huntington County Chamber of Commerce on Thursday July 27 at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to join and celebrate the expansion of mental health options in Huntington County.
