Therapists in Bloomington, IN

As a therapist, I partner with the person I am working with and we collaboratively explore options that may fit your needs and bring you where you want to be, and how you want to be in your life. I am available for TeleHealth Sessions throughout Colorado. If you are wanting to tackle issues such as Addiction, Codependency, Trauma, Sexuality, Unmanageable Stress and Anxiety, Gambling, ADD/ADHD, Feeling Intimidated by a Life Transition ("What is next?") or Feeling Stuck and wanting to make Personal or Career Changes we may want to meet. I use Brainspotting, talk therapies, and a variety of other treatment methods like CBT, MI, & DBT.

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.

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.

I strive to create an environment which fully supports my clients in making meaningful and lasting changes within their lives. My areas of specialty include depression and anxiety, substance use and misuse, LGBTQ+ populations, men and masculinity, college-aged students and those navigating life, family and career-related transitions. I completed my undergraduate, graduate and now doctoral work at Indiana University in education, counseling and human development, respectively. I have also worked at IU for many years in counseling, teaching and administrative roles, so I am well versed in campus and community culture.

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.

Integrating art therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and talk therapy, I offer a unique treatment approach for adults, children, teens, and families. In my 27 years of practice, I have extensive experience working with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief/loss, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is supportive, collaborative and strength-based. I find fulfillment in helping individuals experience empowerment, increase resilience and make life changes that are sustainable and rewarding. My office is located downtown Bloomington in the historic Faris Building.

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.

Accepting New Clients. Are you experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Anger Management Problems, Family/Work/School Stress, Trauma, or a Significant Life Adjustment? It is my goal to partner with each individual, couple, family, and group member and to support each person in becoming the best version of themselves!

**I am currently full and unable to accept new clients. Hope to have more availability soon**I have a warm, collaborative working style that integrates a systemic theoretical orientation (understanding people's lives in the context of biology, relationships, work, and larger social/cultural systems) with highly individualized, evidence-based treatment. I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood. I have extensive training/experience in the areas of family therapy (e.g., Functional Family Therapy), parenting, co-parenting through divorce/family disruption, trauma, and developmental challenges through adolescence and emerging adulthood.

Are your relationships becoming difficult to manage? Are you torn between helping others and helping too much? Do you feel defeated by substance use, or untreated mental illness of someone you care about? You are not alone. Together, we can develop effective strategies to reverse unhealthy habits and attitudes that contribute to anxiety, depression, poor decision-making, feelings of loss, and hopelessness. Putting yourself first doesn't mean you don't care about others. Self-care is not selfish. It is a way to restore balance. You deserve the opportunity to define for yourself a life of meaning and success.

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. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. 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.

I focus on working with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a wide variety of psychological distress. Through my professional experience I have helped individuals who have encountered different forms of trauma, domestic violence, loss, relationship distress, family conflict, depression, anxiety, and those struggling through major life changes or adjustments, including sobriety. Every person is unique along with their circumstances, so I will focus on their needs in counseling by utilizing different therapy approaches such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and interpersonal therapy.

I offer a warm, relational, and person centered approach to people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal mood disorders (postpartum), trauma/ptsd, family concerns, and other mental and emotional health concerns. I have worked across the lifespan throughout my career, but currently see a lot of young to middle aged adults.

I work with men who have difficulty identifying with their feelings, struggle with depression and anxiety, or have issues with their work/life balance. My clients typically struggle with expressing themselves in their relationships. They feel lonely, hopeless, and isolated. They are overworked and under loved. In our work together, I will give you support, feedback and insight, and constructively challenge patterns and beliefs that may be getting in your way. Together we can strive to understand the roots of the struggles you are experiencing in your life.

My ideal client is an adult or young adult (16+) transitioning into any new area of life or has issues related to school, moving, family issues, relationship issues, friendship issues, and more. I also specialize in working with high school, collegiate, amateur, or professional athletes who are wanting to improve their performance in their sport. Ideally my clients will be self-motivated and eager to work on how they can better their focus and their technique in practice, game, and other life settings. I am ready and willing to assist young adults and adults in all walks of life seeking therapy.

Offering telehealth appointments starting July 2022. I specialize in treating mental health concerns in adults and adolescents.

HHC centers LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities, working with motivated individuals to build insight, confront obstacles to well-being, and heal trauma to move toward self-actualization & joy. Our team of therapists represent many identities & theoretical perspectives, and work from queer feminist and family systems frameworks. We value self-determination, holistic health, harm reduction, and disability & racial justice. Relationships are built through collaboration, creativity, and recognition of the environmental & cultural factors that impact client's lives. We currently have a fantastic team of 9 providers!

I currently have a waitlist for new clients. Help me, help you. Taking a step toward beginning therapy is brave and you aren’t alone! Though it may feel daunting initially, therapy can be quite rewarding. I find joy in discovering strengths in others they may not notice in themselves, while providing practical tools, resources, and support.

It is my belief that mental health is an important part of our overall health. I strive to create a judgement free environment where you can feel free and at ease talking about any issues, concerns or goals you have. I will meet you where you are, believing each of you are the expert of your own life.
