Together, they purchased and renovated a vacant commercial building at 121 N. 7th Street in downtown Salina. The improvements to the building included a new roof and making it handicap accessible. In April 2024, they officially opened their businesses in the new location, which is now owned and managed by 16:10 Ministries, LLC.
Ward is a Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist (LCMFT) with a Master of Science in Family Therapy (MSFT). She has been operating her business for the past six years and has additional experience in business and human resources. Lund is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work. She has seven years of experience operating her own business and over 20 years of experience in social work and clinical mental health.
Ward and Lund joined forces over a perceived need to offer intensive therapy for individuals couples and families for an accelerated approach to healing trauma and relationships.
Both tenants are grateful for the increased visibility and improved handicap accessibility resulting from the purchase and renovation of the downtown commercial building.
The project was made possible through investments by the owners and assistance from First Bank Kansas of Salina, Salina Project OPEN, and the NCK Business Down Payment Assistance Loan Program, which is offered through the NCRPC Business Finance Program.
