Meet Our Staff

Hello, I’m Bethany Johnson, the Clinical Director at the Talley Family Counseling Center. I graduated from WKU’s Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling program in 2016, and earned my undergraduate degree in social work from the University of Kentucky. With experience in private practice, community mental health, and school settings, I’ve worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families.

At TFCC, my aim is to nurture top-notch mental health practitioners and champion mental wellness in our community. Outside of work, you'll find me lost in fantasy novels, having a blast with my twin sons, or exploring new corners of the globe!

Hi! My name is Tori Minteer, and I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Western Kentucky University. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Clinical and Community Behavioral Health in December of 2023. I had the opportunity to intern with the Talley Center during my last year and a half of undergrad and am excited to continue working here for my last year of graduate school! I like to use a blend of therapeutic interventions that will best support my client and their needs. These interventions are influenced by a Systems Approach, as well as Solution-Focused and Person-Centered therapy. I look at my clients through a holistic lens and love to learn more about functional wellness and the mind-body connection. I recently received my 200-hour yoga certification and like to incorporate movement into my sessions with clients. I am the student leader of COGA, a group for students and alumni in the WKU counseling program. I also brought Campus Warriors to WKU last fall, which is an initiative by the National Eating Disorder Association that raises awareness of eating disorders on college campuses.

In my free time, I love to read, hang out with my two dogs, and move my body joyfully. I teach yoga classes at a local gym, as well as coach dance for a school here in Bowling Green. 

My name is Susie Willis and I am in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Western Kentucky University. I have a background in Cultural Anthropology, Feminist Studies, and Public Health. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Adlerian, Family Systems, and Solution focused. I am a certified Spinning instructor and in my free time I enjoy spending time with my children, reading, and walks with my dog.

My name is Adam Wink, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Counseling and Student Affairs at WKU. I received my undergraduate degree from WKU in Psychology with a minor in Communications. My approach to counseling is influenced by Solution-Focused, Existentialist, and Family Systems theories. In my free time, I stay busy enjoying quality time with family and friends, running, listening to audiobooks/podcasts, and watching shows/movies.
