Gottman Method Therapists in Granger, IN

I offer therapy/counseling for couples, marriage, and individuals. I believe I am present for my clients to help them through marital or couple issues, and trauma. The struggles are real in a relationship or marriage…. feeling disconnected or disengaged, no communication or arguing, or just having doubts? Maybe you are just looking to improve your relationship or marriage. I can help you with your marital and premarital counseling to improve your relationship. I have over ten years experience.

I have a BS in Behavioral Science from Western Michigan University. I am currently pursuing my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral/National University. While working toward my degree, I am able to practice therapy under a clinically licensed supervisor as an intern. I am Trauma Focused One Certified and working on obtaining Gottman level 1.  I believe that each person has a life and experiences and those, at times can impact a person's well-being. I often find that with a little time and developed trust we can work together to better the situation.

I believe that we live in a society that talks a lot about love, yet we rarely agree on what it truly means, or how to define it. Teaching others how to love one another better is my life commitment. Focusing on couple's work has taught me a lot about myself, about life, about love, and about what it means to really love someone else. I also work with women, trauma survivors, and those experiencing spiritual life questions. I believe we are all trauma survivors to some extent, and that affects the lens in which we view our world. It is my approach to help my clients explore and broaden their view.

Hello…and welcome to The Cove Counseling LLC! My name is Cassandra Mielcarek and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Northern Indiana. Most know me by my short name- Cassie. I graduated from Northcentral University in 2019 with my masters, and I am now currently enrolled in their doctorate program. Prior to my graduate program, I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Indiana State University, with minors in Music and Psychology. While I have many passions, I am so thankful for the path that brought me where I am, and I cannot wait to help you on your therapy journey!

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience providing direct services to adults, adolescents, and couples. If you are experiencing a desire for change in your life which might include anxiety, depression, relationship/couples issues, personal growth, faith-based issues, life transitions, older adult issues, grief, anger, substance abuse, and/or trauma, I invite you to contact me. I see adults of all ages and adolescents over age 14. I work in an active and collaborative manner which builds on the values, questions, strengths and attributes that clients, often unknowingly, bring to the counseling journey.

A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client. I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level.

I offer tailor made counseling services, including traditional & psychedelic therapy as well as coaching, to those experiencing life's difficulties. My compassionate and non-judgmental approach is predicated on offering helpful direction towards specific, realistic, client determined goals. I am very comfortable working with individuals or couples of all ages, veterans and business executives. My approaches based on individual client expectations and needs. Each approach is customized and personal. Phone and video and sessions are available for added convenience. I offer a Christian worldview approach upon request.

We are here to help with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, addiction, and other life concerns.

I treat individuals, couples, and families within the context of their systems. A systemic approach to therapy means viewing your challenges within the context of school, work, medical concerns, marriage, family, etc. I believe that being a healthy person means having good boundaries in your biological, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions of life.

Clients seek my help to navigate the struggles and difficulties that often revolve around intimacy/sexuality, family conflict, and personal identity. Those who desire to repair conflicts, reduce problematic (sexual, spiritual, emotional) patterns, establish healthier relationships, or heal trauma interfering with the present will align well. I earned my PhD in Clinical Sexology. This allowed me to professionally expand my practice from relational to deeply personal as sexuality impacts so much. Clients find this work highly valuable.

An area of passion for me is helping to restore broken relationships- anything from healing infidelity to growing in communication. I long to help clients give voice to their pain, to articulate the challenge and to offer support in the journey. I balance that work with my love for working with women's issues- this can include anything from infertility, loss/grief, and post-partum transition or women who have just lost themselves along the way. I am thankful for the opportunity to support women and their partners in these seasons.

I am a systemically trained licensed marriage and family therapist with a heart for couples. I cherish the opportunity to help others find their strengths and adapt to their challenges more effectively. I also, understand the unique struggles that accompany grief and loss and seek to help others find hope in the midst of their pain. My training also provides me the expertise to work with the most common anxiety and mood disorder concerns.

I enjoy working with individuals, children, families, and couples. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, addictions, and grief. I have a particular interest in working with clients who are processing and healing from all forms of trauma. Therapy is a collaborative process and I love to see clients gain new perspectives, decrease symptoms, and increase personal strengths to have a more meaningful life.

After 32 years of corporate management, I felt led to follow my passion. Because I understand the specific stressors of the business world, I'm in a unique position to connect. I'm also a husband who cares deeply about my marriage and a father who works hard at parenting my children.

I offer services for both mental health and addiction issues. I believe in finding hope and love in all the darkest places. Sometimes we encounter overwhelming circumstances on our journey called “life.” I am here to help those who feel lost, broken, and hopeless when all other avenues seem bleak. I believe that there is no “ONE” answer that fits all, therefore I will work with you on your journey to find the perfect balance of peace and reality. I will meet you on your path and we can work together to find a way back to a healthier and happier lifestyle. Interests are couples, addiction, and holistic practices.

I believe that all of us have some struggle with being addicted to something in life, if we are honest with ourselves. I have found that this develops out of a desire to numb emotional pain that we have not been able to work through. I read recently that 80% of us have experienced some type of trauma and have not worked through that underlying pain causing us to find ways to suppress it. In doing so we develop relational problems internally which then manifest with our family, our work, friends and others.
