our STORY
Advancing the Standard of Care
in Recovery and Mental Health
Houston natives Robert Park, LCDC, and Kathleen Park, LPC-S, LCDC, entered the field of mental health with their own personal experiences of substance use and recovery. Over time, it became clear to them there was a need for high-quality recovery services and mental health care in the Houston area. They saw a need for a practice that would advance the standard of care through robust programming and an elevated level of treatment. Their vision became Luna.
Together, Robert and Kathleen lead Luna alongside a dedicated team of clinical, medical, and direct care professionals, headed by Chief Clinical Officer Dr. John O'Neill, Medical Director Dr. Bo Allaire, and Chief Operating Officer Jay Kelley.
