Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future:
A New Chapter for Grounded Path
We are honored to share that Grounded Path Holistic Counseling has entered a new chapter of growth and care. After many years of heartfelt service and community building by founder Shimila Keenum, LCSW, ownership of the practice has been thoughtfully and lovingly passed to Shiloh Martin, LPC.
This transition marks a continuation of the vision and values that Grounded Path was built upon: holistic, trauma-informed, person-centered care rooted in integrity, compassion, and connection.
Shiloh brings over a decade of experience in the mental health field and a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families in healing and transformation. Her approach aligns beautifully with the spirit of Grounded Path, and she steps into this new role with both reverence and excitement.
As Grounded Path continues to evolve, the heart of the practice remains unchanged - offering a safe, nurturing space for growth, healing, and reconnection. We are so grateful for the continued support of our community and look forward to all that lies ahead.
About Shiloh
Welcome to Grounded Path! I’m So Glad You’re Here.
My name is Shiloh Martin (she/her), and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and board-approved LPC supervisor. I’ve spent the last 10 years walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges, heal from pain, and reconnect with their inner strength.
I was drawn to this work by a desire to support people in their wholeness, nurturing the body, mind, and spirit together. My experience spans in-home, community-based, and outpatient settings, always guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique story.
I’ve also been involved in community efforts focused on recovery, substance use, and maternal and child health—areas that continue to shape my work and connect me to the broader wellness landscape.
Above all, I believe in the power of safe, supportive relationships to foster healing and growth. It’s an honor to carry forward the mission of Grounded Path and to offer a space where care is heartfelt, holistic, and rooted in integrity.
Holistic Care Offerings
I offer an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities in which I have received specialized training, including:

5 Needle Acupuncture Protocol (5NP)
Substance Use and Recovery Services
Parenting Support and Skills Training
Women’s Mental Health and Wellness
Whether through individual counseling, parenting support, or group-based services, my goal is to create a nurturing and empowering space for healing.
Let us take this grounded path to wellness together, honoring your story and the strength within you.

Good Faith Estimate

mental health care will cost.

medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of
any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
