June Ballard, LPC

June Ballard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background that blends military service and clinical training. A US Army veteran who served nine years on active duty as a tank turret and small arm weapons mechanic and as a master fitness instructor, she brings practical discipline and an understanding of military life to her counseling work. She earned two master’s degrees from John Brown University in 2016 - one in Family and Marriage Counseling and one in Clinical Counseling - and has applied that training across community mental health and private practice settings.

Over the past six years she has worked with clients across the lifespan, including couples and families, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, personality disorders, and trauma. She holds certifications in Eagala equine therapy, C-Cert, and motivational interviewing, and has training in family and marriage counseling as well as play therapy. Her clinical approach is grounded in client-centered principles and evidence-informed techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing.

June practices with a solution-focused mindset, offering direct and affirming guidance while helping clients uncover answers they already possess. She aims to support practical change and improved functioning by combining structured therapeutic tools with collaborative, person-focused care.
