Therapists in Bloomington, IN

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

I help clients build insight about the barriers keeping them from the life and connection they desire while also developing the tools necessary to make empowered and lasting change. My supportive yet direct style is authentic and compassionate while also being appropriately challenging — creating space for the self-exploration that allows clients to build positive internal & external relationships and experience foundational healing. This collaborative process deepens clients' self-understanding in order to connect them with their own wisdom and ability to navigate life's many challenges and maintain meaningful connections.

Rihona Bing-English, LSW, resident therapist at Compassionate Living Now, devotes herself to creating sincere and collaborative relationships that center on each client’s unique experience.

I am currently accepting new clients. From birth to death, life is a constant transition. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families, who are experiencing a wide range of symptoms including infidelity, breakdowns in communication, high functioning Autism, trauma, sexual abuse issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and grief. I have extensively researched issues and stressors that today's LGBTQ+ clients and families may be experiencing, and work with transgender clients to gain the appropriate gender affirming care.

**Openings for private pay and insurance clients. Please visit our website to see individual therapist descriptions and availability. Compassionate Living Now is a mental health practice in Bloomington, Indiana, dedicated to deep therapeutic work, personal transformation, and kindness-in-action. We offer traditional talk therapy and tools for living a radically compassionate life. Our work is grounded in the principles of equity, inclusion, and acceptance, and a belief that as we work to heal individual trauma and oppression at all levels, a more global change is possible.

The path to healing is a spiritual, physical, and psychological process. Utilizing an integrative approach, my goal for every client is to help them discover healing through an intimate relationship with Christ. Together, I will walk with you as you discover areas in your life; in your thought processes and in your relationships, that require understanding, encouragement, and awareness in order to arrive at true healing.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

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 am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients.

I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

We all have challenges we face and in moving through those it is so helpful to have guidance. I see my role as providing a safe space for you to feel comfortable sharing your journey. I can assist you in discovering new insights into your situation, bringing clarity regarding your challenges, recognizing unhelpful ways of thinking, developing new skills and cultivating optimal potential for growth and desired changes. Our relationship that develops and grows is the foundation of the collaborative work we can do offering encouragement and support along the way.

We all have trauma, obstacles, setbacks in life, or times where we don't feel our best. It can be a struggle to just get through the day. Sometimes we find that those traumas and obstacles are too big to overcome on our own, and we need help. Therapy can be an excellent place to process through and heal from trauma, gain new coping skills or improve old ones, and develop the self-awareness and insight to reach new levels of personal growth. Whether it's a struggle with a mood disorder like depression/anxiety, major life adjustments like divorce, or processing through a complex trauma history, helping others heal is what I love to do
