ADHD Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Do you have trouble just getting out of bed? Are you finding yourself in a never-ending cycle of forgetfulness, disorganization, and poor time management? Have others written you off as "lazy", "irresponsible", or "careless"? Perhaps these issues have even put a strain on relationships, school, or the workplace. These challenges can be very painful, and they are a reality for many adults living with ADHD . Living with ADHD can be difficult, but you do not have to go on this journey alone. You need a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming professional to support you along the way.

I want to start out by saying that I'm looking forward to meeting you and working on the issues and goals that brought you into my office. I am extremely passionate about what I do and love my job! It is my belief that everyone has significant strengths and abilities to heal and get to the place in life where they want to be, but sometimes you just need a little bit of help. I use a strengths-based approach and also help clients look into where their issues are coming from instead of just trying to put a Band-Aid on the problem.

I come to The Juniper Center from community mental health where I worked with clients in all stages of life. I specialize in addressing anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, trauma and ADHD and I work with teens and adults of all ages. I would describe my style as warm, personable and down to earth and I feel passionate about bringing equity and access to traditionally underserved communities.

Having been a psychologist in practice for many years, I have developed a professional interest in assisting individuals with complete and thorough psychological testing and evaluations. Such evaluations are focused upon learning disabilities and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders

At times throughout our lives we may find ourselves feeling lost or confused due to sudden changes, uncertainty, or the inability to move forward. Understanding who and what shaped our lives as well as how those influences continue to impact us is empowering. Therapy is an excellent way to clarify our thoughts and understand our emotions in order to reach a healthy life balance. It can help us move from feeling helpless or hopeless to developing insight, daring, and resilience. The therapeutic process can instill a level of self-confidence and self-awareness inspiring us to become our ideal self.

Neurofeedback changed my family's life. Having observed first hand this life changing therapy, I felt convicted to make this available in Indiana. There is no reason for most to suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression, ADHD , pain, migraines or a host of other ailments. Most are not inherently or irrevocably flawed. Instead, many of the problems that plague us are a case of "operator error". INDY Neurofeedback offers hope for true health - not a "bandage" with potentially harmful side effects or coping skills. How wonderful, that what amounts to exercises for the brain can permanently effect such change!"

Are you exhausted, struggling, longing for more, constantly committing to "get your life together?" Do you feel like you're constantly dropping loose ends and wonder how everyone else does it? Or are you overwhelmed, overstimulated, and overextended, jittery during the day and not sleeping at night? Has a moment in time caught you in its web and you are ready to become untangled? Are you "different" (LGBTQIA+, ethically non-monogamous, Pagan or pagan-friendly, etc.) and looking for a therapist who "gets it"? Whatever the journey has brought you, your courageous heart has led you here.

Hello! I am a lighthearted, neurodiversity affirming, relationship-centered, licensed clinical social worker. I love helping my clients find ways to achieve emotional wellness, that is empowering and sustainable. I am believer in evidenced-based intervention but value the necessity of therapy being customized to the client.

I worked previously as a school social worker, and can support 504 and IEP consultations.

Is your teen struggling to work through tough situations and hard feelings? Do you feel they may be struggling with depression or anxiety? Do you feel your children are struggling with big behaviors, big emotions, and not sure what to do? I would love to help! I have over twelve years experience in working with children and families through ADHD , behavioral challenges, trauma, divorce, social difficulties, and school issues. I also offer one-on-one with parents with a focus on parental challenges and provide parent coaching and education as needed.

As a practicing school psychologist, I offer psychological testing, psychoeducational assessments, advocacy, and coaching services. I place a special focus on conducting assessments for children and adults regarding the following: early childhood services, ADHD /Executive Functioning, behavioral concerns, school-based and vocational disability services (IEP, 504 Plans, Higher Ed Disability Evaluations, SSI/SSDI evaluations), and testing accommodations (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT).

While I see some adults for therapy, my education and experience has focused primarily on child and adolescent issues for the past 40+ years. I evaluate and treat kids 2 years and older, teens, and their families for a variety of issues. I collaborate with parents in obtaining services their child may need at school. I am practical and direct in my approach to treatment. I work with the child and parents together and separately, facilitating better communication and giving support and advice. Siblings are often included in family sessions. I look forward to working with your family.

**ONLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS FOR TESTING (NOT THERAPY) AT THIS TIME** I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides psychological services primarily for children, adolescents, and families throughout the community. I completed my Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis, obtaining specialized training in working with children, adolescents, and families.

Are you not struggling, but also not succeeding to the level you desire? I believe that we all have the ability to reach our full capacity as individuals by changing our behaviors, thinking, and the way we react to various situations by learning more about our subconscious desires and motivators. I work with clients experiencing ADHD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. Together we can look at how your past experiences influences your mood, behavior, and relationships.

When we better understand the workings of our brains, we gain greater control over our lives, our futures, and our happiness. Dr. Raffle provides cognitive-based, client-centered individual psychotherapy in a caring, protective, and accepting atmosphere. You feel empowered to explore your own pathways toward self-discovery, positive personal growth, and self-healing. Therapy works because it creates resiliency - the mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility to adjust to and cope with life's challenges. He specializes in adolescents and adults with brain injuries, ADHD , neurological problems, and with anxiety and depression.

What if there was a better way to manage your difficult emotions and thoughts? Or, receive help when you feel stuck, and emotionally overwhelmed. Perhaps, you are experiencing immense pain from your previous hurtful and traumatic experiences. Or, you are recovering from the death of a loved one and are unsure where to begin your healing process. Let me be that person to help you in your healing journey. In therapy, I strive to create a warm, caring, and safe environment for you to gain a deep sense of self-awareness and understanding. I enjoy working with young adults.

For 8 years I have worked with clients of all ages specializing in anxiety, depression, Asperger Syndrome/autism-level-1, ADHD and twice-exceptionalism. I have experience helping adults facing life decisions regarding career or relationships, especially with those on the autism spectrum in transition. I lead professional trainings and workshops on Asperger Syndrome, ADHD and twice-exceptionalism and have created the Indy Women's Asperger Marital Support Group. For 6 years I assisted women dealing with crisis pregnancy, child-loss and previous abortions. I have spoken at many women's groups and retreats addressing specific issues most relevant to women.

(Biofeedback and Neurobiofeedback see profile for details.) I have been a clinican since 1973. It is through this depth of experience I have come to realize that we are all just innocent beings who, through conditioning, forgot who we truly are - perfect, loving, and whole. Therapy then becomes a process of remembrance and realignment with our true Self.

As a parent and psychologist, I enjoy supporting children as they grow and strive to be their best. At the same time, I realize that the maturation process is not always easy and both children and parents often need outside supports. Emphasizing a collaborative process with my clients and their relevant care providers, I value working together to establish goals, individualize treatment, and evaluate progress. My services include providing short and long-term therapy with children, adolescents, and young adults to treat problems involving anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relational/social concerns, ADHD , adjustment problems, and family issues.
