Teen Girl Counseling (Audra Richert, MSW, LCSW)
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Greenwood, IN 46142
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.

My passion for counseling comes from a deep belief that healing happens in safe, authentic connection. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where you and I work together to explore the patterns, stories, and experiences shaping your present life. I lean into a person-centered approach, which means I meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect as you discover your own path forward!

I enjoy helping people see themselves as a role in a story that makes sense and they are holding the pen. Everything makes sense in context, and once you understand that context you can better decide what to do next. Sometimes therapy is about healing a wound from the past. Sometimes therapy is about learning to be a better you. Sometimes therapy is about trying to fix a relationship, and sometimes therapy is about preparing to make a difficult decision. Many of us have been impacted by trauma and I use EMDR regularly to help clients process and heal.

I also integrate supportive frameworks such as CBT, DBT, and IFS to further foster healing and growth.
I believe healing happens best through connection. I aim to help clients build a greater sense of peace, confidence, and inner strength in their lives. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals with a history of trauma, helping them gently process their experiences at a pace that feels safe. I also have a strong interest in perinatal mental health and supporting individuals as they navigate the emotional changes that come with this season of life.

I'll use more traditional therapy types like CBT or IFS for adults.
Are you struggling with ADHD—feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks, relationships, or work demands? Maybe you're a parent seeking help for your child who's falling behind in school, or an adult finally understanding why life has always felt harder for you. Perhaps you're managing ADHD alongside anxiety or depression. You want practical strategies, not just medication management. You're ready to understand your brain differently and build systems that actually work. Beyond ADHD, I help individuals overcome trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression—supporting you in moving from surviving to thriving with compassion and understanding.

I use EMDR, CBT, MI, TF-CBT, IFS, and person-centered approaches to fit you and your goals.
Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when past trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, life transitions, and other mental health challenges make it difficult to move forward. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with emotions that seem too heavy to carry, or searching for clarity and healing, you don’t have to do it alone.
I specialize in working with children and adults who have experienced childhood trauma and other mental health challenges. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

I work well with clients who are thoughtful yet still feel stuck in patterns that no longer make sense. They may be wrestling with anxiety, strained relationships, or a loss of meaning despite sincere effort. They want to have a steadier life through honest and lifelong work rather than a quick fix.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

Welcome! Finding the right therapist can be difficult due to the uniqueness of the relationship. By providing a compassionate, relaxed, and nonjudgemental environment, I hope to make that easier. It is a privilege that people choose to share their lives with me as well as allow me to be part of their journeys of change and growth.

I am very eclectic in my interests and love working with clients with a range of challenges; from more typical presentations of depression and anxiety to major life transitions, trauma, grief, and dual diagnoses. I provide primarily adult individual and couples therapies but also work with select families and some teens. My primary focus is always on my relationship with clients, and I believe in a client-centered and interpersonal approach to navigating concerns.

Many of the children and adults I have worked with feel stuck in pervasive and persistent anxiety, depression, stress, or PTSD/trauma. With some motivation and guidance they often find they have more power over their own life than they thought. While working with me, you will likely see the most positive results if you have a willingness to explore your own inner world and are open to change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
