Therapists for Teens in Greenwood, IN

We all carry our past experiences with us. They help to shape us into who we are today and fill the pages of our book of life. Some of these experiences bring us joy, while others bring us heartbreak. There are some that follow a clear path, while there are others that challenge us with unexpected twists and turns. As we move through the chapters in our book of life, there are times when we can steer easily through these experiences. However, for those times that you may need support with navigating, I am here to help you reintroduce control, empowerment, fulfillment, and provide you with the tools needed to move forward.

Deciding to meet with a therapist is the first step in overcoming obstacles you are faced with. We all hit roadblocks in our lives, and finding someone to help us navigate through these difficult times can make the journey less painful. I am passionate about making this experience as comfortable as possible for my clients. I specialize in working with individuals/families struggling with anxiety, depression, adolescent issues and trauma.

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.

Coming to counseling is no easy feat, and finding the right counselor can seem daunting. Life experience has helped me to understand this firsthand and is what drives my work as a counselor. It is my hope that through the process of building the therapeutic relationship, I can offer clients treatment modalities that are tailored to their needs. I value the counseling relationship and desire to practice with a client-centered approach. I have experience working with families, specifically with children and adolescent clients. My clinical passions include working with those struggling with difficult emotions and complicated grief.

ATTENTION PARENTS WHOSE CHILD IS STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR INTERPERSONAL ISSUES (AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME): You have a teenager who needs someone to talk to, but you aren’t sure who they will feel comfortable with. When your child shares their challenging experiences, you want someone who can RELATE. You’re looking for someone who has lived what your child is facing, and who MADE IT THROUGH. Someone who has a shared understanding of the struggles of being a teen, someone who can provide support and empathy, and someone who has already learned to manage and conquer what your adolescent is feeling.

The path to healing is a spiritual, physical, and psychological process. Utilizing an integrative approach, my goal for every client is to help them discover healing through an intimate relationship with Christ. Together, I will walk with you as you discover areas in your life; in your thought processes and in your relationships, that require understanding, encouragement, and awareness in order to arrive at true healing.

I work best with folks who are seeking practical effective solutions to their personal, family or relationships problems and who would like to see results as quickly as possible. They are open to learning new ways of thinking about their problems and are receptive to new approaches. You can generally count on leaving your first session confident that I understand the problems you have presented and have clear formulations and concrete solutions to offer. Half of my cases are closed in under six sessions, most with good and lasting results.

Our approach is to view the work of counseling as a dynamic process in which counselor and client work together towards helping the client better understand and cope with the problems of day-to-day living, and to connect with those inner resources and strengths that will lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Whether in person or online, I use an integrative approach of Art Therapy, CBT, and Talk Therapy in my work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in the healing power of art and creative self expression in ways that are beyond verbal articulation. You do not need to be an artist or creatively inclined in order to participate in Art Therapy. Rather, be open to the process of artmaking as a path to aid you in your healing journey.

My desired families are those that love Jesus and want to grow in their faith. Of course, I would love and accept all clients despite religious/philosophical preferences. I have extensive experience working with couples, individuals/couples coping with trauma, coping with a phase of life, addictions, and men's issues. The single most important attribute I can provide, higher than the philosophy and the techniques of counseling, I genuinely care about every individual that steps into my care. We all need a support system that cares for our needs and can point us in the right direction when we are surrounded by darkness.
