Therapists in Lafayette, IN

You live life as an individual, but also as someone surrounded by all your life experiences and their impacts. These include social supports, family dynamics, partner relationships, cultural and social backgrounds, or impacts of gender and sexuality. If you're looking for support and guidance in a challenging time or seeking to make positive life changes, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

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.

Isn’t life difficult sometimes? Whether you are struggling with stress from your past or current relationships, family, job, school, etc., I would love to come alongside you in your journey to help you reach your goals in those areas. I thrive in working with individuals who are motivated to pursue their dreams of living their best life. Are you ready to have healthier and more fulfilling relationships with your friends or partner, peace with the past, coping tools for difficult emotions, small goals and the ability to reach them, a healthy school/work life balance, and better self-esteem? Then you are in the right place to start!

Hi! I’m Megan Erwin. I am a new counselor at Collaborative Care LLC and I am currently accepting new clients! I graduated with my MA in Forensic Psychology. I have experience working with many diverse populations, including LGBTQ+, Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities, youth involved with the court system, and the homeless population.

Over the past four years I have collaborated with my clients to manage their mental health symptoms and life stressors using clinically proven therapeutic methods. I am passionate about my career and have experience with adolescents and adults who struggle with family and relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, self-esteem and motivation, and regulating difficult emotions. I want to help you determine why you are currently experiencing challenges and develop goals and actions to resolve these issues.

Sometimes, life just feels hard. The good news is . . .everyone feels that way at times and there are ways to learn how to manage the hard. I am a former teacher, consultant, author, and speaker who decided later in life I wanted to pursue a life of helping others heal from past relational hurt, trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I am currently in the process of becoming an Internal Family Systems-Informed Practitioner, allowing me to combine this modality with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. Remember: it is never too late to change and heal.

My ideal clients are children, adolescents, or adults who need help regulating difficult emotions that we all feel at times. Ideally their family is ready and willing to support them as needed. I work with clients to create goals that they want to focus upon, and work with them to achieve these goals. I have a wide range of experience working with clients of all ages on trauma, neglect, family issues, abuse, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems and other concerns. I often employ cognitive behavioral therapy to help get to the root of mental health difficulties by increasing understanding of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

For the past 20 years, my clinical focus has been helping people ages 10 and up who have identified depression, anxiety, life transitions and family issues as sources of stress in their life that they wish to work through. My clients come to me to reduce/eliminate their symptoms and regain their own definition of ideal functioning. I also support my clients through difficult life transitions and/or family issues. Though, I am known in my community for working with adolescents/teens which I am passionate about, a significant portion of my caseload consists of adults and families who I am equally dedicated to.

I am a Licensed Mental Counselor with a Masters degree from Purdue University and 12 years of experience working with children, adults and families. I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. I am fluent in both, Spanish and English and able to provide therapy in either language. My areas of expertise include: children who present mild through severe emotional and behavioral problems due to a history of trauma and/or difficult life events (i.e., death in the family, illness, divorce, other losses and family changes); working with parents struggling with parenting issues, adjustment to life events and parent/child relationship difficulties; and working with adults in a variety of problems including, adjustment disorders, post traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grieving, and post-partum depression.

I believe people can change, because I see it daily with my clients. I believe it because I lost over 130 pounds. My specialties include couples counseling, grief and loss, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I know therapy can feel intimidating. Before becoming a therapist, I was a client and worked with a therapist on ways to improve my quality of life. This experience taught me what clients need. I know that the client/therapist relationship is the most important aspect of treatment. The better the relationship, the more healing that occurs.

Raising children is the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have. When a child has experienced trauma, transition or is struggling with another concern, it is even more difficult. I work with children and their families to help them integrate their unique experiences in the world. There is hope, help and support for children who are struggling with; trauma, grief/loss, transitions, ADHD, anxiety, defiance, depression, and worry. I believe in the power of play and the ability of children and families to grow towards health and healing.

You want a happy, healthy family but the kids are fighting you, the in-laws or your parents are stressing you, or your kids are grown and you don't know what to do anymore because they aren't there. What is a normal family supposed to be like? Will my kids be ok or am I messing them up? Real fears from real parents. Will my relationship survive or how can I have a healthy relationship after years of bad ones? Parenting and relationships are hard and uniquely complicated. I see the struggle and am here to help guide your family into a better way that works instead of redoing the same old thing that hasn't been working.

Life can be stressful! When relationships struggle, work feels exhausting, and home life is chaotic, it's easy to break down, give up, or bury how you feel. Questioning your decisions, who you are, what you’re doing with your life can be paralyzing. Our emotions can be so intense and overwhelming that it's like walking on eggshells around our partner, family and friends, coworkers. These experiences can make daily life stressful and lead to more long-term problems if people avoid working through them.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with experience in working with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma, child abuse/neglect, ADHD, conduct disorder, behavioral disorders, personality disorders, and adjustment disorders. I work with children, adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples. My areas of expertise include behavioral issues, family cohesion, crisis and trauma, adjustment, and parenting/co-parenting.

I am a licensed mental health and addictions therapist with over twenty years of experience. Over the years, I have truly enjoyed working with adolescents and adults who struggle with a variety of issues, including behavioral problems, teenage struggles, substance abuse, addiction issues, depression, anxiety, stress management, parenting concerns, and other mental health issues. My goal is to walk alongside each client to help support positive changes that can result in a more balanced, peaceful life.

Are you seeking a supportive space to heal, care for yourself, or explore the dynamics of your relationships? I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through interpersonal and personal difficulties. Common concerns my advanced training equips me to work with include anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, intimacy issues, and trauma. My therapeutic approach integrates the evidence-based approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering a holistic and personalized path to wellness.

Therapy is an intricate process that requires connection, collaboration and dedication. Children experience unique challenges that are best treated with guidance from a professional and support from their peers. Utilizing evidence based practices, I provide children with a safe space to process the everyday challenges of youth and the complex developmental issues that come with trauma. I practice from a trust based relational intervention (TBRI) perspective and offer Brainspotting for adults, with a firm belief that therapeutic rapport is the foundation of a successful working relationship with both children and adults.

Trauma can be difficult and complex. The path to healing can be as well. Clients who have experienced trauma, but who have a strong desire to overcome their obstacles and strive for a healthy, balanced way of life, relieved of the mounting weight of the experience, are the clients that instill enthusiasm and drive in me. Their needs may range from help processing underlying emotions, dismantling unhelpful thought patterns, or creating goals that align with their strengths. These values and motives make up my ideal client. They want freedom from a negative experience because they know the potential joy of being their fullest self.
