Leadership Team

Wade Thaxton joined Brandon’s House as the Executive Director in October of 2022. Wade comes with diverse experiences, from teaching to sales to corporate leadership. All of which he is utilizing to help Brandon’s House cultivate and expand mental health resources for teens & families in Southern Indiana. His leadership has a collaborative style but also challenges the status quo to help bring more people & resources to the table for our youth. He also spent 13 years as the leader & facilitator of GriefShare, a support group for those who have had a loved one pass away. Wade is married to Clarissa and has two children, Elanore & Wesley. While God is first in his life, Wade’s family & friends are a close second. He loves being outdoors with his family fishing, hiking & camping.

My name is Danny Barclay. I am studying Marriage and Family Therapy at Liberty University. I am a leader in student and outreach ministries through Memphis Christian Church in Memphis, Indiana and Youth For Christ’s Campus Life ministries. I have a passion for equipping families with the tools they need to deal with interpersonal conflict, cognitive distortions, and trauma as a unified front. I believe none of us are an island and that families are best able to deal with individual problems when they take them on together, and that’s just one of the many reasons that I deeply enjoy working at Brandon’s House Counseling Center.

I graduated from IU Southeast with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in August 2024. I obtained my Associate’s license in November of 2024.

What I love about Brandon’s House is the sense of community and connection everyone has developed between all of the counselors. It truly does feel like a safe place for everyone. I have learned how to make mistakes and grow like I never have before in this environment. And I get to have some amazing relationships with the kids along the way. As I watch them grow, it’s awesome to see myself grow along with them.
