Family Therapy in 47401

When you have suffered trauma, you learn early on that you can not say "no". As a result, maybe you struggle with people pleasing, saying "yes" to whatever comes up to avoid conflict, and hopefully, demonstrate your value. Maybe you feel like you can't trust yourself, can't trust others, and are destined to live a life of powerlessness and shame. When was the last time you remember having good sleep? The last you felt good enough? Safe? Whole? Or maybe you are concerned about ailing relationships in your life; be they with family, friends, or your partner? Maybe you want to feel closer to others but don't know how? We can help.

I utilize my 17 years of counseling experience working with diverse populations from school age to adult to help clients understand themselves better and make meaningful changes. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, ADHD/ASD, and life, school and career related transitions. Previously, I counseled college students in the university setting. I enjoy working with young adults as that is an immense time of transition, new beginnings and many times added stressors. This is a season of life where students can learn a lot about themselves and build healthy habits and positive coping skills for a lifetime.

Sometimes life confronts us with experiences that are disruptive personally or in our relationships resulting in feelings of depression, anxiety, or loss. While these feelings are normal, they can present challenges in terms of maintaining our sense of well-being and our ability to function well in our daily lives. In my view, the purpose of therapy is to help clients understand the source of disruptions, help them learn strategies for coping with and working-through difficult emotions, and become aware of triggering experiences. In this way, clients can learn how to repair disruptions and thereby restore their sense of well-being.

Hi, I am Debby and I am accepting new clients. I work with Individuals, Couples, Families, Adolescents, and children. I provide in-person sessions by appointment only and I provide telehealth to anyone in Indiana by appointment. I have worked as a private practitioner since 1994, before that, I advocated and lobbied for social services for my clients, I ran a BB/BS program for kids, and then went into private practice where I worked in Greenwood, IN, and Bloomington, IN. I bring a variety of skills that provide supportive therapies for my clients. I look forward to working with you on your issues, needs, and goals.

People are often not aware of all the factors affecting their emotions and behavior because they reside at the unconscious level outside of our awareness. These unconscious issues may cause physical symptoms, emotional pain and frustration, or problems in working and relating. The unconscious mind cannot be dealt with directly by reading, journaling, self help advice, or well intentioned suggestions from family or friends. Medication alone and quick-fix therapy are usually inadequate.

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.

From an early age relationship shapes us, and the throws of life trigger wellsprings of emotion that make communication difficult. Emotionally laden issues take on a life of their own and the negative cycle can feel exhausting and unending. Long term stress and anxiety strain relationships and taxes the mind, body, and spirit. As a marriage and family therapist and nearly a doctorate in traumatology, I enjoy processing the complexities of relationship and mental wellbeing to discover longstanding patterns and issues that thwart intimacy and affection. Whether it be individual, marriage or family therapy, I can help.
