Emotionally Focused Therapists in Speedway, IN

I love to help clients improve their self-acceptance and learn to love themselves. I especially enjoy working with late-identified neurodivergent adults, addressing concerns with relationships, self-esteem, and identity - as these concerns frequently coexist with autism, ADHD and OCD. Topics that often come up when I work with clients include: identifying unmet needs, challenging perfectionist mindsets, redefining how you see yourself, and exploring alternative strategies for getting your needs met.

Accepting new clients in both Indiana and Michigan! I am a licensed Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist holding a M.S. in Human Development and Family Studies. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, with extra specialization in working with couples and trauma. Whether it is relationship conflict, infidelity, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, behavioral or anger difficulties, parenting concerns, difficult life transitions, medical or other life stress- I strive to work together with my clients towards positive changes in their lives, and healing outcomes!

As you explore your thoughts with a trained listener you learn about yourself and have the space to sort out life's complications and create new understanding. A real understanding of yourself can give you the power to make more satisfying choices, lead to less anxiety and depression, improve relationships and as a result have a more enjoyable life. Imagine a life with less shame and guilt which are at the root of most mental health challenges.

Currently only accepting couples! Taking the step to seek therapy can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming. I look forward to working with clients and couples who are brave enough to take this step to better themselves and their relationships. My focus primarily lies in bettering client's self-esteem through exploring their identity and personal experiences that have made them who they are today. My ideal clients may not know where or how to begin their journey of self discovery, but are willing to take the chance. I work with clients to create their own goals. I tend to work at the client's pace, pushing them when need be.

Most people seek therapy to reduce hurts that are causing suffering; increase a sense of wellbeing, love with more generosity and gain wisdom and skill. The greatest benefits of therapy come from self-reflection, increased ability for emotional expression and flexibility and exploration of things that block those desires - fears, old hurts, walls built up, addiction, traumas, etc. Whatever your struggles, your goals for change are often determined by our perseverance together. It is often not easy, but it is worth the effort.

We are given the gift of one another in our marital and family relationships to love and support us through our daily journey. We are part of a system that forms and challenges us.

I believe the quality of life is determined by the health of our relationships. Connection - with yourself, your partner, and your loved ones - is the core to a satisfying relationship and life. As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I am trained in understanding how our emotions can drive our behavior when connection is missing. I work with couples and families to help them better understand one another and grow through the challenges life presents. I help families learn to recognize and then express their needs for love, support, protection, and comfort. ​I welcome, affirm, and support the BIPOC and LGBTQ Community.

I would like to start off by saying it takes courage to take the first step in your healing journey! I specialize in treating trauma, attachment-based issues, and couples. I take a whole-body approach that helps create and maintain lasting change. My ultimate goal for therapy with my clients is to help create corrective emotional experiences so that healing can occur.

I work with couples who feel disconnected from their partner and want to not only improve their communication but also reestablish their relationship as a secure place to turn to. I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma and would benefit from learning how to relax their bodies and change their perceptions, especially in the context of a perceived threat.

Is your relationship in trouble? Do you want to be better understood and better understand your partner, but don't know how? Have the ups and downs of life caused conflict or distance between you? Are the stresses of day to day life taking their toll on your family's relationship? Are you and/or your children going through divorce or loss? Everyone needs help sometimes- we are hard-wired to need connection. When we are feeling isolated or unseen, our day to day life feels emptier and our mental and physical health pay the price.

Enabling individuals, couples, and families to make meaning out of their life stories is my main goal. Focusing on the meaning of your relationships can enrich your life. I enjoy working with couples as well as famiies of all sort--families of procreation, adoption, and choice. In addition to counseling, I consult with family businesses, non-profits, and congregations. In my role as Director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Christian Theological Seminary, I supervise students to move toward their licensure as therapists. I provide private supervision and coaching on a limited basis through my credential as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.

Couple's counseling and sexual health is my passion. Infidelity, cheating, and emotional affairs. Lack of sexual desire. Communication, loss of connection, and healing old hurts and resentments are common issues addressed in my practice. I'd love to meet you (I do see individuals), or you and your partner (same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, polyamorous couples). You can schedule with me directly online from my webpage: micheleomara.com

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?

We all go through seasons in our lives where it would be beneficial to have someone come along side and help us get out of our own muck. I work with a variety of people but particularly like helping people get past traumatic events or to have better relationships with others.

I work best with individuals who are typically "on top of it" and are noticing something coming to a head that they no longer feel capable of managing on their own. The work that I do starts with working to understand the history and experiences that inform my client's present day experiences, identify areas of distress in their life, and establishing broad goals that we collaboratively break down into small steps to support actualization of those goals. There is structure to my approach and emotional and relational support that is built on our alliance as collaborators in this process.
