Spirituality Therapists in Carmel, IN

Reaching out to talk to someone can be hard, but I believe it can also be fun. Asking hard questions together, I help clients build on strengths, manage complexity in their relationships, tap creative resources, and make meaning with art, philosophy, spirituality , dreams, and the interests and hopes my clients bring.

I have been working with individuals and couples for 20 years. Many of the clients I see suffer from depression, anxiety, work and relationship issues (including communication problems, feeling disconnected, infidelity, and divorce). I help clients find new ways of coping, seeing and thinking, and relating. Although I am knowledgeable and skilled in several therapeutic methods, I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" therapy. Instead, I adapt my treatment plan to meet the needs, goals, and personality of each client.

I desire to provide a safe space for people to be authentic and real, without fear or judgment, to help facilitate change and work towards restoring hope. I also desire to help others gain healing, transformation, and wholeness, integrating faith as clients desire.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore your past, present and future, but have been hesitant because of the fear of being judged or misunderstood? Are you someone who wants to share their story, struggles, and hopes, but wants therapy to provide observable change? Many of my clients say these are the reasons they were hesitant to seek therapy. I work hard to create a safe, judgement free place for you to share your story so we can explore the tools for you move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been serving and advocating for children, adolescents, & women for over 6 1/2 years. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degree from Indiana University. I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF). I facilitate BOLD™, a courage building curriculum specifically designed for mature adolescents and young adults based on the research and books of Brené Brown. I utilize the work of Brené Brown in Daring Way™ & Rising Strong™ designed to help individuals explore areas related to their own relationship to vulnerability, shame, and wholeheartedness.

Difficult seasons are impossible to avoid, therefore, I am passionate about providing the tools necessary to weather the storms of life. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with communication, financial issues, relational conflict, emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, career decisions, women's issues, spirituality , and self-esteem issues. I am also committed to providing a warm, empathetic environment with the highest level of respect and confidentiality for my clients. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and can provide support for aspiring LMFT-A or LCMHC-A clinicians.

I am extremely passionate about helping people and I am active in Lamplighter, a 2 day Christian renewal experience similar to The Great Banquet.

My role is to help you figure out what you want, what gets in the way, and how to get there. Lack of focus in life often is at the heart of peoples' problems. If you have concerns with depression, anxiety, fear, confusion, relationship, identity, spirituality , career options, personality, sadness, hopelessness, a sense of aimlessness, loss, even anger and irritability--all of these concerns can be helped by learning how to direct yourself.

If you are looking for a compassionate therapist, you have come to the right place. Being with the dying with 25 years of hospice and bereavement experience and listening to grieving loved ones provides a gentle, caring backdrop for my work. If you are dealing with loss of any kind, have 1 year or more in your journey with 12-Step recovery, or in relationship struggles, I will walk with you in this journey. My work is client focused and strengths based . If you are in the LGBTQ community you will find a safe haven here. Come and find peace for heart and soul.

George, a graduate from Indiana University, has been a therapist for 14 years. His warm, accepting, creative, insightful and recovery focused therapy style encourages developing self-acceptance, the confidence for positive change and what's preventing that from happening. With a holistic perspective, he feels comfortable incorporating spirituality in treatment upon request with a primary Christian perspective, but will work with all beliefs.

Would you like to make sense of your life story so that you can experience deeper relationships and a more fulfilling life?  I work with individual adults, couples and teens 15+. People often seek me for therapy to work on stress and anxiety, depression, relationships problems, past trauma and abuse, major life decisions about work, relationships, or spirituality , personality styles, and sexuality.

The clients that I see are struggling with how to get and give the love they want and need. Most clients that I work with have a deep desire to feel heard and understood in their intimate relationships. Some clients become lost and struggle with anxiety and depression when feelings of shame, guilt and abandonment come into play. They need someone to help them understand their pain and walk with them as they transform their lives.

Sometimes the journey of life can take us to places where we don’t want to be. That place can leave us feeling scared, isolated, anxious, hurt, traumatized, and disconnected from those we care about. It is a complete joy and honor to journey with clients as they work towards journeying towards the life they prefer. I believe the client is the expert of their own life and I get to help them navigate the complexities of life and relationships.

Let's be honest .... relationships can be stressful! Most of the time we might decide to suffer in silence, share details with people who aren't the best "advice givers", or even force ourselves to "accommodate" our partner's needs without being poured into. We can't expect for relationships to become healthy again if we continue with the same attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors when engaging with our loved ones. That's why I'm here; to break up the monotonous routines and to encourage engagement in the use of tools WORTH trying! You can do all things through Christ who strengths you!

I enjoy working with individuals of diverse age groups, from childhood to adulthood. My goal is to empower my clients to deal more effectively with their life circumstances by eliciting insight and equipping them with adaptive coping skills; while utilizing their faith to assist them in the healing process.When working with children, I work closely with the parents to facilitate a team effort in addressing the needs of the child and the family as a whole. I also work with couples to elicit healthier communication patterns, thus promoting couples' satisfaction in their marriage.
