Jennifer Marshall Named Executive Director of Wellness Loudoun
New Organization Launches Mental Health Programs and Community Support in Loudoun County
Loudoun County, VA — May 13, 2025 — Wellness Loudoun is proud to announce the appointment of Jennifer Marshall as its inaugural Executive Director. A long-time mental health advocate and nonprofit leader, Marshall brings over a decade of experience in community outreach, program development, and storytelling for mental health awareness.
“Wellness Loudoun exists to save lives and restore hope by providing a safe and welcoming environment for mental, physical, and emotional well-being,” said Marshall. “I’m honored to lead this mission and to help create a Loudoun County where no one struggles alone—and everyone has the support they need to heal and thrive.”
Under Marshall’s leadership, the organization has begun launching a wide range of free and low-cost programs for individuals and families seeking support.
An outgrowth of Crossroads United Methodist Church, Wellness Loudoun believes mental wellness begins with connection and community. An official launch event for the nonprofit will be held in October.
Both Crossroads and Marshall endeavor to create a space where all are welcome. The organization is currently holding events at Crossroads, but plans are underway now to construct an adjacent 5,000 square foot facility.
“This initiative started with a dream for our community,” said Tim Ward, Chairman of the Board. “We are so excited to have Jennifer on board and know that her lived experience, leadership skills and passion for mental health advocacy are exactly what Wellness Loudoun needs to grow into a trusted community resource.”
Initial programs at Wellness Loudoun include:
● Bridging the Gap – a peer mentor program offering connection and support during the wait for professional care
● Support Groups – including groups for Depression & Bipolar, Anxiety, and Grief
● Expressive Arts Classes – creative expression for emotional healing
● Wellness Hikes – movement and mindfulness in nature
● Sound Bath Healing – guided relaxation and stress reduction
● Counseling Services – for individuals and families
● And more as the organization grows to meet the needs of the community
