stephanie rollins
Stephanie serves as the prevention education coordinator at Gracehaven. In her role, she helps young victims of sex trafficking escape the entrapment that defined previously defined her life. Here is a short statement from Stephanie: “In the past, many labeled me a drug-addicted prostitute. In reality, I was a victim of human trafficking for thirty years. I love teaching both kids and adults about the issue- particularly how to show victims that there is a way out and that past experiences do not have to define us.”
Tina Hennen
Tina Hennen serves on the Board of Directors for Sanctuary Collective. She is a survivor of the streets of the west side of Columbus. Having grown up without stability, she turned to drugs and fell prey to the traffickers who exploit the most vulnerable. Tina eventually found her freedom through the criminal justice system in Franklin County's CATCH Court. A 2017 graduate of the program, Tina now works as a Peer Support Specialist for Lower Lights Recovery. She is married and enjoys relationships with her children today. She is proud to return to the streets where she was once trafficked to offer her experience, strength, and hope.
Mark McCarthy, LPCC-S
Mar and MA in Biblical Counseling from Grace Theological Seminary: Mark has 25 years of experience as a Christian therapist, who also brings the value of his own transformation from sexual brokenness to integrity and freedom. He was married for 28 years before sexual addiction ended his marriage and career. For three years Mark worked hard on recovery, and God brought both transformation in his life and restoration with his family. Mark and his wife have since remarried, his children have worked through a process of forgiveness, and his counseling license has been reinstated. He works with all men’s issues, but specializes in sexual integrity. Contact Mark or learn more at his website.
