Strength-Based Therapists in 46033

I assist individuals with goals toward self improvement, through difficult life circumstances such as loss, and instilling hope when hope seems lost. Together we will work on ways to increase self esteem, self worth, and a positive outlook on life. I can include art therapy in sessions, to help open doors for those who may struggle with communicating emotions verbally, and can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone.

My name is Samantha Wright-Cooksey, MSW, LCSW. I have been a therapist for over 20 years with combined experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I have provided professional services in outpatient, home, community and school-based settings. I have worked in addictions as well as end of life issues. I utilize strength-based and solution focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and problem solving skills training. I offer in person and telehealth options for therapy. I accept most insurance, EAP, and self pay options.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? As a compassionate therapist with over 10 years of experience, I’m here to provide you with a safe and cozy space to share your story and work towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life. My expertise lies in helping minority and immigrant individuals and families who are dealing with grief and trauma, as well as young women and mothers who are struggling with identity issues, depression and anxiety.

My therapeutic stance is compassionate, warm and non judgmental. I have a strong interest in supporting others in working though shame and pain to better embrace their authenticity, imperfections and all. I'm honored to join you in your journey.

Are you looking for someone to help you with your anxiety, depression or mood disorder? I see individuals, adolescents and couples. I take an evidence based approach to therapy combining Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I want to help you determine what you’re doing that already works and support you as you work towards your own goals. Most people see an alleviation of symptoms within a few months of seeing me.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore your past, present and future, but have been hesitant because of the fear of being judged or misunderstood? Are you someone who wants to share their story, struggles, and hopes, but wants therapy to provide observable change? Many of my clients say these are the reasons they were hesitant to seek therapy. I work hard to create a safe, judgement free place for you to share your story so we can explore the tools for you move forward.

I help people struggling with stress, depression, or anxiety as well as relational conflicts within families and couples. I understand the challenges in getting help to get "unstuck" and realize it takes courage to ask for help. However, if you are like many others, you are likely tired of dealing with the same problems and getting the same results. I also help others who avoid dealing with the problem and are finally ready to begin a new life. Finding the right person to guide you should not be taken lightly.

The things most important to me when developing a therapeutic relationship are safety, transparency, and feeling heard. It can be difficult to open up and share with someone the events of our lives that are difficult to process, that is why I strive to create a genuine, non-judgmental and dynamic space.

As an adult trying to navigate this world, you often find yourself wondering why everyone else seems to have it all figured out while you are struggling. Maybe you can't connect with your partner or you feel labeled by your family and are struggling to find who YOU really are. You hear advice from all different directions and have tried so many different things and nothing seems to be working. You feel defeated- and now it has become a cycle that is just getting worse. Maybe you can't sleep well or you're feeling disconnected. Imagine waking up tomorrow and feeling like you had a better sense of direction. What would that feel like?

In 1993, I received my Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Purdue University. I graduated in 1997 with my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University - Purdue University at Indianapolis. I have provided both inpatient and outpatient mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including hospitals, community mental health centers, youth residential treatment facilities, group homes, and private practice. My areas of specialization include family issues, parenting/co-parenting, divorce/custody, reunification, relationships and anxiety.

Are you in a neurodiverse relationship or exploring the possibility that you or your partner may be on the autism spectrum? When you and your partner are wired differently, it can be easy to misunderstand each other and to feel disconnected from one another. Unintended hurts can accumulate over time, causing feelings of resentment and hopelessness. Attempts to create change in your relationship start with good intentions and earnest promises, but then too often the same challenges pop right back up. While your differences may be part of what you most love about one another, at times it can feel impossible to find common ground.

Sometimes, life is more intense than ever expected. You have found this to be a difficult time as you are faced with a great loss in your life. You deserve a therapist that is well trained in your life experience. I focus exclusively on grief - grief that accompanies the loss of a loved one and transitioning into a caregiver role. Groups are an extremely helpful way to learning to live with grief and find your way as you live with the loss of your loved one. Online Groups & Self-Guided Programs are created to lift barriers to quality support for caregivers to folks in rural areas to busy professionals to create life balance.

Are you overly critical? Do you always blame yourself, even for the smallest mistakes? Are you really hard on yourself, saying things under your breath to yourself that would you never utter to another person, things like, ‘you’re stupid, what wrong with you? Professionally, it might sound like, “you’ll never be successful” or maybe you think to yourself, ‘you’re such a fraud, you have everyone fooled." Do you ever should yourself all over the place, “I should have done something different, that was so stupid.’ Sometimes the mirror reveals the harshest critic.

As a husband, father, and counselor, I understand the power of seeking and finding clarity within oneself, and the transformative impact that this can have upon the meaningful relationships that exist within one’s life. I deeply value the counseling relationship, and I see this as the foundation through which positive change and personal growth can take place and flourish. I am particularly passionate about working with people who are struggling with issues pertaining to relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and self-esteem. I seek to meet people at whatever place they find themselves on their life's journey.

I have a strong passion for working with individuals who deal with daily anxiety, panic attacks, and other symptoms associated with severe anxiety. I enjoy working with all ages but have a special place in my heart for working with teenagers and young adults. I look at the whole person and not just the current issues at play. I like to collaborate with my clients to tailor an approach that works for them, and am always open to feedback. I believe that every client has it in themselves to make a change, but sometimes needs someone to help teach them how to use the skills that they already have.

I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing some of the most challenging transitions of their lives. This might look like recovering after trauma, deconstructing from religion, working through grief and loss, navigating life after divorce, blending families, receiving a painful diagnosis, or opening up to your true gender and/or sexual identity. We are told that "life is hard", and often we are led to feel that our challenges of living are ours to carry alone. I am here to help carry the weight and together find ways to lighten the burden and strengthen yourself.
