Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Fort Wayne, IN

I am NOT taking new clients at the moment. I am a licensed psychologist and owner at 3Rivers Wellness. At 3River, we believe strongly in the human potential to grow and adapt to change. As your therapist, I can help you identify your strengths and use them to create positive and lasting change in your life. Clients working with me can expect to be challenged to grow and learn about themselves in a warm and caring environment with the ultimate goal of feeling more empowered and better able to handle the stress that life often throws our way.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of children and adults with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. My particular practice specialties include dementing disorders, ADHD, Sleep Disorders, dyslexia, pervasive developmental disorders and children with complex medical conditions such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, genetic and toxic/metabolic disorders. I am a Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at Indiana University Medical School in Fort Wayne, Indiana where I teach courses in psychiatry to second year medical students including lectures on autism, Asperger's Syndrome and neurodevelopmental conditions. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Schaumburg, IL.

Are you suffering from depression or anxiety? Are you looking new ways to cope with the demands of life? I provide counseling to facilitate your path to a healthy, balanced, and happy life.

Reaching out for help is an important step toward making positive change in your life. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one where I help you help yourself along the path of change. I have been working in the mental health field since 2003 and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

Everyone needs a space where they feel their thoughts and feelings matter. I aim to create a space where people can explore what's on their mind without fear of judgment. I’m experienced with EMDR and Internal Family Systems informed care, which are powerful approaches that help people to process trauma and become a wiser, more balanced version of themselves. I specialize in treating PTSD, issues with dissociation, LGBTQ+, and anxiety/depression. I also enjoy working with addictions or those who are in recovery from addictions, as well as with children and teens.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and taking that first step. A little about me: I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Writing Exposure Therapy (WET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals, and have utilized Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for couples. If you prefer a Biblical approach, I am comfortable with Christian counseling as well. Finally, if you have experienced a trauma that you need help in healing, yet do not wish to talk about it in deep detail, ART and WET can be utilized to minimize the re-telling of your painful history. Whatever it is that brought you here, I'd be honored to help.

I have 16 years of experience as a clinical Social Worker and I specialize in key areas of cognitive behavioral therapy for mood, EMDR, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD/trauma recovery work, substance abuse/codependency, LGBTQIA, consensual non-monogamy, and grief and loss. I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, movement, nutrition, neuroplasticity, and art therapy into my practice as well. I spent 9 years working with a VA hospital so I have a hefty amount of experience in working with veterans issues as well.

When asking for help you deserve to be treated non-judgmentally. I use my experience, knowledge & compassion to help patients find a better way to live with a wide range of difficulties (e.g., anxiety, anger, chronic illness, relationship issues). I strive to help each individual learn how to cope more effectively with life's problems by guiding adjustment of behaviors, beliefs & helping patients learn tools that work more effectively in managing how we relate to our own thoughts, emotions, & feelings. Who do you want to be in control of your life, you or your feelings & worries? Live consciously & consistently with your values.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and helping you find healing. Years of education and experience have afforded me the wisdom and ability to help you understand the mental distress you are experiencing, and then to collaborate and create the most effective treatment plan possible. In addition to being a counselor, I am a business woman, a wife of 33 years, a mother of 4 adult children, and a grandmother. I understand that the struggles we all face are personal and often profound. My goal is to create an atmosphere that provides my clients comfort, care, Christianity, and compassion.

I have been involved in therapy for almost twenty years working in areas of criminal justice, social services, mental health, welfare and addiction treatment. I have enjoyed working with all age clients-each having different challenges. Although I enjoy working with all clients, areas of specialization: Adolescent behavioral issues, gambling and addictive behaviors, family and marriage counseling. I encourge clients to work on two main objectives: Self Empowerment and Acceptance of who they choose to be. I do not judge a person because of their concerns, I try to help them learn the tools to avoid future problems.

I believe that managing adversity, fears, uncertainties, expectations, life stress, and trauma alone can be challenging. I pride myself on being a warm, empathetic, and client-focused counselor who strives for collaboration and enjoys walking alongside individuals as they achieve a greater sense of well-being, find healing, and attain their goals.

We work alongside each person to create new depths of mental, emotional and physical growth. Perhaps you are trying to recover from trauma, infidelity, addictions, or have lost the spark with your life, it is my passion to help you reconnect. Our direct, gentle approach aims to help you experience relief from emotional suffering. Together, we will confront your life challenges and discover the many unique strengths you carry within.

I know that seeking help is often a difficult decision whether it's for yourself or your loved one. I commend you on your choice to strive for a healthier life. It is important to me that I provide an accepting, comforting environment that allows you to feel safe when discussing difficult topics. As a social worker, I am very client-focused. You are the expert in your life and I want to join with you to enhance your strengths and prepare for a brighter future. Stop waiting and schedule an appointment today!

The Coronavirus has drastically disrupted all of our lives. Teletherapy is the method I am now using to stay connected to current and new patients. Depression, anxiety, anger, and behavior problems can happen to anyone, especially during this time of social distancing, uncertainty, and fear. Emotional support and understanding can reduce stress and guide you to new sense of normal. Healthcare workers, essential workers, parents, individuals, couples, and children can get guidance and treatment now.
