Therapists in Carmel, IN

Although life can be confusing, difficult, and overwhelming, I believe no person is broken; but rather maneuvering the journey of the human experience. Each individual is capable of growth but may need some support and guidance along the way. While pursuing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Social Psychology from Ball State University, I gained experience in a practicum clinic and hospital setting, working with those experiencing difficulties with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.

Hi, I'm Michele. I'm glad you're here. I know how a situation, involving yourself or a loved one, can consume your life. I became a therapist because I've experienced similar circumstances. Those moments have led me to be an empathetic and effective counselor. We will take things at your pace. This is your time, and we will work together to find healing and growth.

I offer a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment in helping you to effectively resolve issues that are troubling you. We will work together to recognize and develop your strengths, to understand and change unhelpful patterns, and to help you gain relief from suffering. I emphasize respect, authenticity, and compassion for self and others. I believe you are the author of your story, and that together we can help you grow and flourish so that you are able to thrive and achieve your goals.

Emotional distress is overwhelming and can interfere with your life. Professional support and treatment can help resolve many difficulties, relationships can become more fulfilling, and self image can be enhanced. I have a dynamic, warm and interactive style, and believe everyone has the ability to use their inner strength and awareness, as well as develop more effective ways of coping. I have been in private practice for fifteen years.

Life is so hard when we’re stuck in our own heads; repeating the same scenarios, worries, and self-critical thoughts over and over again - it's exhausting! Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s NEVER all done...figured out...or good enough? Are you spending your energy worrying, stressing and controlling instead of making progress toward your goals? The body tension, migraines and stomach aches (often triggered by stress) make daily life so much harder than it has to be. Anger and sadness take over and our relationships, jobs and family suffer with us.

It can be daunting to begin or resume therapy and I make it a priority to recognize this and provide a supportive environment. Whether you are navigating a specific stressful situation or seeking to improve the quality of your life or relationships, feeling accepted, understood and respected is imperative. Working together, we will identify what is important to you and explore how best to achieve your goals.

Are you feeling stuck? Does it feel as though you can't reach your goals? All of us experience difficulties in our lives, within ourselves and within our relationships. As a therapist, my role is to help people use their strengths to help overcome life’s challenges. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral challenges as well as with people coping with co-occurring medical conditions. I use several techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies, biofeedback, DBT, and interpersonal therapy to best meet your needs. I am a member of PSYPACT, serving 39 states.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. This statement could not be a more perfect example of how I view this thing called life. I believe that my role is to help guide you in becoming more aware of any barriers that may be in the way of allowing for change and growth. I come from a holistic frame of mind and believe that one can regain balance of mind, body, and soul with just being open to the idea and process of change. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Equine Facilitated Learning sessions and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions through Strides to Success as a way to support a more holistic healing.

As a practicing therapist for over 20s years, I pride myself on helping those who need guidance and a listening ear in times of difficulty. Acknowledging that it takes courage to reach for help and begin therapy, I hope to lessen the intimidating and overwhelming process as an experienced therapist. I work primarily with adolescents and adults on issues ranging from depression and anxiety to more specific trauma related concerns. I will work also to hear your needs as we walk alongside each other through the counseling process.

You want to appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. Are you a woman whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot in life, but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. A big life change—maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, change in family dynamic, or move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift.

I am a licensed counseling psychologist. I've been trained as a generalist. In addition, I've completed additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and the Mind-Body Connection. I focus on providing a warm and safe place for my clients to process their experiences, learn therapeutic interventions for coping, and better regulate and understand their emotions. I utilize strategies within the session to improve clients’ well-being and offer suggestions for what to do outside of therapy to help clients reach their goals.

Sometimes aspects of your life just don't seem to be going well, you feel overwhelmed, or you are seeking self-improvement. Whatever your reason, you are searching for a good match for you because therapy is a very personal endeavor. My goal is to work with you in a collaborative manner in a safe, judgement free environment. You have the strength within you to make positive changes. I view therapy as walking beside you on your journey. Sometimes you may need advise on which step/path to take, and sometimes you just want someone to talk to along the way.

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.

Accepting new clients in IL, AZ, IN, and NJ! Managing with Mindfulness offers a safe and judgement-free environment to unravel life’s greatest stressors, utilizing a variety of treatment methods to best serve your goals. We work primarily with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. We will work together to gently examine how your mind, body, and soul are interconnected. We will also assess how your current environment, work/school, and relationships impact your mental health. We plan to meet you where you are, in the present moment, regarding your goals and intentions.

Life changes and trauma can lead to disconnection from ourselves and others. This disconnection can manifest as anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Through therapy, we can untangle the changes and trauma so we can truly hear ourselves. Our work might include emotional processing and regulation, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and mind-body awareness. At each step, I will check in with you and guide the pacing to fit your needs and goals. (See my website for more information.) Authorized to practice in all PsyPact states via telepsychology.

For the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Empath, the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing” - their central nervous systems process sensory and energetic information more deeply than the average person. Years of taking in this level of input without awareness and compassion can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, patterns of codependency, and unresolved trauma. Your heightened capacity to absorb information does not have to hinder your personal growth & well-being. I specialize in partnering with HSP’s & Empaths as they process traumatic experiences and create positive change in their lives.

Wanting to address relationship issues, family of origin issues, feelings of anxiety, depression and/or face your addictions? I have advanced training in Trauma, EMDR, Gestalt , Imago, Emotionally Focused Couples Training, and addictions. I include Mindfulness tools in much of my work. Would you benefit from a group of women to address underlying issues that impact your recovery from an addiction/alcoholism?

Entering therapy is not always easy, but it's an important step towards change. I believe therapy should be a process where my clients and I work as a team to identify strengths and learn new skills to increase their ability to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. I specialize in treating children and adolescents with mood and behavioral disorders. When working with children, I believe it's important to engage parents in the treatment and empower them be a coach and implement strategies discussed in therapy at home with their children.
