Kenneth DeBlock, LPC

As Embark’s Clinical Director Ken’s mission is to shape the Embark experience in a way that creates an opportunity for healing, restoration and hope for each teen and their family. He is licensed as a professional counselor in Missouri and has spent his career working with at-risk teens in positions that include being assistant chaplain at a juvenile detention center, and as a case manager and therapist in residential, transitional, and intensive outpatient substance abuse programs.

Ken established the Substance Abuse Prevention and Recovery Program. He particularly enjoys working with our mentor teams and younger professionals, helping them implement therapeutic interventions and integrate their faith into daily life at Embark. When he’s not working, Ken is either playing golf, hunting, fishing, or spending time with his wife and their two children.
