Meet Melissa Austin, LSCSW

My family and I have called Southeast Kansas home since 1989. In 1994 I graduated from Pittsburg State with a bachelor’s in social work. After working in medical social work for several years I earned my master’s in social work from KU, then began working as a therapist at Crawford County Mental Health. As a veteran myself, as well as a wife and mother of veteran(s), and wife of a law enforcement officer, creating a safe environment to work through the unique stressors of this lifestyle is of the utmost importance to me. It would be my honor to be here for you along your journey.

Meet Samantha Lloyd, Virtual Assistant


Hi All!

My name is Samantha(also known as Sam). I am the Administrative Assistant here at Got Your Six Counseling. I graduated from PennWest California with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, a MAS in Legal Studies, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Healthcare Management. 

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed discipline, resilience, and the ability to connect with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds. These experiences strengthened my passion for helping others in practical and meaningful ways, and that motivation continues to guide both my personal and professional growth.

I am excited to apply my education, life experiences, and dedication to supporting others wherever I am needed, while continuing to grow within the healthcare field.
