Therapists in West Lafayette, IN

Are you looking to improve communication skills, gain better insight into your mental health, or develop coping skills? Do you feel like the same problems or situations keep repeating in your life no matter how hard you try to prevent them? Are your emotions out of control? Do you feel like you need things to change, but you don’t know how or where to start? Is unaddressed trauma negatively impacting your day-to-day life or relationships? Maybe things look good on the surface, but inside you feel as though you’re barely holding things together. I can help with trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use and more.

Healing from our suffering—not just coping with it, but transforming it into growth—often requires a journey through it. It’s been said that “feelings buried alive never die.” Fear, sadness, rejection—all want acknowledgment so that we will not stay stuck in past pain. Once we bring our experience into the light, our truth can be validated. "My feelings are real." This is an important step in reaching a place of acceptance. Once the fog or confusion lifts, clarity follows and with it the momentum and freedom to finally release, let go, and move forward.

Therapy can be scary, but I promise it is worth it. Here at Elite Counseling Group, LLC, I focus on individual counseling for a wide variety of experiences and life transitions. Sometimes we need therapy to get through some small changes and other times we need therapy to process BIG emotions and events; the best part is, both are perfectly fine! At Elite Counseling Group, I follow your lead and we go on the therapy adventure together! I will empower you to find your voice so you can advocate, set boundaries, heal, and live a life you love.

Mental health needs affect everyone differently and yet it can impact how one sees the world, themselves, and others. Furthermore, various diversity factors such as race, gender, religion, also influence the way one see's him/herself and the way that the world sees and treats a person. In my work with children, adults, couples, and families which spans for more than 15 years, I focus on seeing and understanding the whole person in order to assist clients on their journey to healing and acceptance.

I began my career as a registered nurse. After working in several areas of medical care, I settled into thirteen years as a psychiatric nurse attending to the care of children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. During this time, I returned to graduate school to complete my master of social work degree. Since finishing, I have practiced as a therapist, in a community clinic, and in a private clinic. Two years ago, I opened my own independent practice and continue with that today. My approach to counseling adults is based in cognitive-behavioral theory, better known as "talk therapy."

I'm Cristina Alba, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to fostering positive change and well-being. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I believe in creating a safe space where individuals can explore, heal, and grow. I specialize in providing support to adults and children who have experienced trauma, guiding them on a path of healing and resilience. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I work collaboratively with clients, utilizing evidence-based practices to tailor interventions to individual needs.

Child therapy is my passion. I utilize a behavioral approach partnering with parents and school personnel to address issues impeding success. Often, children express their feelings and/or internal conflict through their behaviors and are seen as "bad kids." My goal is to identify and build on the child's strengths, explore what is impeding their success and to help channel feelings in a healthy way. I am here to assist your child in decreasing feelings of anxiety, reducing impulsive/hyperactive behaviors, process grief resulting from a divorce or loss of a loved one, heal from trauma, improve self-esteem and teach social skills.

Specializing in working with kids, perinatal mental health, trauma, and grief- meet Andrea Aichele, a compassionate and dedicated virtual therapist on the Thrive for Life team, currently accepting new clients in Indiana & Florida. With a client-centered and evidence-based approach, Andrea fosters a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking personal growth and healing. Andrea utilizes her extensive experience to guide clients towards achieving their unique therapeutic goals. As a skilled and empathetic counselor, Andrea is committed to empowering individuals on their journey to emotional well-being.

We all experience challenging and sometimes overwhelming periods in life. While turning to friends, family, or faith is often helpful in navigating life's paths, we can also benefit from a trained ear that will listen from the outside. Therapy is a safe place for exploration; a journey towards more fulfilling relationships, a greater sense of emotional, mental and spiritual well-being as well as increased self-esteem. Our work together will provide you with the support, guidance and the tools that you will need to reach your goals.

Therapy? It is difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy but even more important to find a therapist in which you feel comfortable. Understanding these feelings of others have allowed me to be in practice for over fifteen years. Making the first step to call can be a difficult process and I pride myself in empathizing with this difficulty. I have made it part of my practice serving children, adolescents, and adults to take the time to relate to each individual on an individual basis and attempt to make each client to feel comfortable making this difficult step.

I meet each individual with positive regard and a team mentality. I am here to be a supportive and hard working teammate as we progress through the therapeutic process. I am happy to work with individuals on a number of issues and have experience with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma related issues, childhood disorders such as ODD, ADHD, parenting issues, conflict, and every day stresses to name a few. Asking for help is not easy, but I am glad you have begun taking the steps to improve your mental health.

Accepting new clients, in-person in South Bend or via telehealth anywhere in the state of Indiana. March 2024 availability. Online scheduling is available through my website. I specialize in individual therapy with adults and young adults. If you are an overthinker, a perfectionist, a people-pleaser, feel overwhelmed with the uncertainty of the future, or are burdened with a near-constant level of anxiety, let's talk. I use a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach which means that we will be spending less time talking about the history of problems in your life, and more time building solutions for the present and future.

I work to help clients find their answers as they gain self-advocacy skills, affirm boundaries, and increase resiliency. I work with teens, children, and women in a private practice setting assuring both a confidential and supportive atmosphere.

Now accepting in-person and virtual appointments in Lafayette, IN. I am also licensed in Missouri and can meet virtually with Missouri residents. I am a Licensed Mental Health and Addictions Therapist with 21 years experience. I specialize in individual, couples and family therapy and work primarily with adolescents and adults. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings with many different populations, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, family issues, anger, addictions, parenting, legal issues, and other mental health issues. I hope to meet you where you are at in life and assist you in reaching your goals.

I’ve been in clinical practice for over seven years, and have worked as a social worker since 2010. I work with all ages because I believe we all need a little support from time to time, no matter our phase of life. I strive to create a collaborative, safe space to explore openly and engage genuinely. Individuals may seek therapy with me for many reasons, and no reason is “more valid” than any other. Some of these might be: self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, major life changes, parenting, fertility challenges and/or pregnancy loss, postpartum adjustments, relationship challenges, personal development and growth.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with almost a decade of experience in the mental health field. I work with teens, young adults, college students, and women living with OCD, anxiety, phobias, trauma, BFRBs (hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting), and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum depression, OCD, and anxiety). I am an active member of the International OCD Foundation and Postpartum Support International. I stay up to date with the latest research in mental health, engage in regular case consultation with field leaders, and complete continuing education trainings throughout the year.

I believe it is important to meet the client where they currently are to develop a strong therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a warm and nurturing environment. I believe it is important to provide evidence-based approaches while providing appropriate psychoeducation so clients understand why they are learning these tools. You deserve to feel accepted with where you are right now. I believe in setting small, realistic goals to build self-confidence and help you feel more in control.
