I am passionate about journeying with people to transform pain into healing. I care about social justice, community-building, and uncovering our inner wisdom. I work across the lifespan, though most with frequently with children and pregnant/postpartum parents. I specialize in trauma and attachment.

I hold a Ph.D. in psychology with a concentration in Jungian Studies from Saybrook University and an M.A. in Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University. I love seeing individuals flourish and follow their bliss. I'm a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist, and my approach is integrative, flexible, and holistic. My approach is strength-based, and I tailor the therapy sessions to the needs of my clients rather than following a single theoretical model. Psychotherapy will ultimately bring awareness to the internalized narratives that have hindered your choices and possibilities to achieve your potential fully.

*Although I am not accepting new clients at this time, I encourage you to continue your search for a helpful counselor. And feel free to check back her--in a few weeks I may have openings again.* A good listener can help you think more clearly, understand yourself better, and explore your options. I listen. Together, we will find solid reasons for hope. When it's time to look for solutions, I will draw upon my years of experience and training to help you craft a plan that is individualized to your strengths, needs and goals.

Hi there, I’m Helen. As a therapist, I would like to start our journey by earnestly getting to know you. I want to hear your story. I’m looking to build a genuine connection because I value our time together. I will use encouragement, advocacy, compassion, sense of humor, and a solution-focused approach as my guiding qualities in our work together. I have worked with clients across the life-span from birth to death with over a decade of experience working with children, teens and families as well as two years of experience as a hospice social worker. I am currently accepting telehealth clients only.

*I am not currently accepting new clients* People are the experts on their own lives...My job is to focus on the client's perspective and life experiences so that I can help provide the best environment for change. I work from a strength-based, integrative approach to therapy to fit the needs of the individual, helping clients explore ways to make changes in their lives.

My ideal Client is someone who is motivated to work on themselves and dive deeper into emotional wounds that create barriers to your every day life. Being ready for change is an important factor in treatment feeling beneficial and we aren’t always motivated for change. Honesty and openness are key ingredients to building a life worth living, even on the days we feel burnt out and unmotivated.

I have been an eating disorders specialist since 1995, treating people with Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge eating. I welcome clients into a supportive, confidential, and safe environment, as I understand how difficult it can be to to take the first step toward treatment. Having recovered from an eating disorder long ago, my treatment style is compassionate, individualized, and client focused. I know how hard it can be to get well. I see clients with varying emotional issues, because these issues also underly eating disorders. People who meet with me have concerns to address in therapy such as anxiety, depression and OCD.

I have been practicing for 30+ years and truly enjoy doing psychotherapy and being a lifelong student of the craft of psychotherapy. It is a privilege to meet with people, to hear each person's unique story, and to try to help each person reach their goals. I strive to create an environment of trust and safety in which each person is able to hear and make use of my observations and questions, knowing they are not being criticized or judged.

Life can be hard and sometimes we need others to join us on our journey. Are you struggling with relationships or feeling disconnected? Wondering if things will ever get back to "normal"? Are you going through a life transition? Focusing on individual understanding and communication issues, we can work on repairing and refreshing you and your relationships. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals. I am here to partner with you, join you on your journey, provide encouragement, and guide you as you make the changes you are looking for.

I have 16 years of experience as a clinical Social Worker and I specialize in key areas of cognitive behavioral therapy for mood, EMDR, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD/trauma recovery work, substance abuse/codependency, LGBTQIA, consensual non-monogamy, and grief and loss. I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, movement, nutrition, neuroplasticity, and art therapy into my practice as well. I spent 9 years working with a VA hospital so I have a hefty amount of experience in working with veterans issues as well.

I utilize my 17 years of counseling experience working with diverse populations from school age to adult to help clients understand themselves better and make meaningful changes. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, ADHD/ASD, and life, school and career related transitions. Previously, I counseled college students in the university setting. I enjoy working with young adults as that is an immense time of transition, new beginnings and many times added stressors. This is a season of life where students can learn a lot about themselves and build healthy habits and positive coping skills for a lifetime.

To the outside world, it may appear that you have it all together, yet no matter how hard you try you suffer from anxiety, self doubt, people pleasing, burn out, and guilt when putting your own needs first and something needs to change. I believe all humans innately have within themselves everything they need to heal and make these transformations. My role as a therapist is to bring light to those parts of yourself which have been blocking you from making changes and step into a life of wholeness and authenticity.

Hypnotherapy sessions are between 2 hours and 90 minutes in length and are offered in person at my Bloomington, Indiana office. A specific goal is identified in an initial, free, brief phone consultation. Most issues are resolved within one to six sessions. I help clients to overcome such things as fear of public speaking/test taking/performance; creative blocks; career transitions; pain of trauma, divorce, difficult childhood; sleeplessness; chronic pain; grief, regret and low self esteem; and other anxiety-related issues.

People are often not aware of all the factors affecting their emotions and behavior because they reside at the unconscious level outside of our awareness. These unconscious issues may cause physical symptoms, emotional pain and frustration, or problems in working and relating. The unconscious mind cannot be dealt with directly by reading, journaling, self help advice, or well intentioned suggestions from family or friends. Medication alone and quick-fix therapy are usually inadequate.

Hi there, I'm Cheryl, Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help manage depression, anxiety, and stress. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, CBT and person-centered to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.

Are you struggling to find happiness, meaning, and purpose in your life or career? Perhaps you feel anxious and/or depressed, or you’re struggling to accept something that has changed in your personal or work life. You might be stuck in a rut at work or suffering from imposter syndrome to the point that it’s limiting you in your career. You know that something needs to change, but you're not sure what to do or how to do it. Imagine how it would feel to get past these struggles so you can learn to live a joyous and meaningful life with a career you enjoy!

**I am not currently accepting new clients ** While no approach is effective for everyone, I aim to collaborate with you about your experiences and preferences and then offer a plan that research suggests will be most effective. More than 20 years of experience has shown me that this combination of compassionate individualized understanding with evidence-based strategies works for many clients. Free initial phone consultation allows you to explore whether we might work together well.

I especially enjoy working with young adults and older adults that are going through life changes.
