Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Indianapolis, IN
I provide ongoing therapy for adolescents and adults using an approach centering your experience as the expert.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and have experience working with adolescents in school settings and serving as a Family Consultant in a community mental health setting.
I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, all within a person-centered framework, because every individual is different and therapy should reflect that. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and daily stressors.

Hello, hello, hello! My position as a psychotherapist is to help you become a better version of you, and if you'll let me, I can help you find out better what that could mean. As a therapist, it will never be my place to tell you what to do, how to think or how to feel. My role is to help you figure out what YOU want to do, how YOU think (and want to think) and how YOU feel (and how you WANT to feel). What YOU want for yourself is precisely what I want for you. My approach would be best described as laid back, fun-loving, incredibly warm, kind and validating. Think: Ted Lasso meets Luna Lovegood (from the Harry Potter series).

Life is beautiful and there is much to be grateful for and yet it can feel incredibly tough at times. In those seasons, we often need someone to talk to, to help and walk with us in the journey. It may be anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship, or loss of a sense of self that affects your daily life, relationships, work, or career. You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and lost by trying to live up to someone else’s expectation. Even just getting through the day, and simple tasks like answering emails, texts or calls seem daunting. If you are hoping for support, you're not alone.

As a Mental Health Educator, my ideal clients are the "first responders of the heart" - churches and community agencies.

When past trauma and relationship strain make it hard to trust yourself or others, those reactions are understandable.

Change is possible; therapy can help lessen trauma symptoms and rebuild connections in relationships. Trauma, betrayal, and everyday stress often overlap and erode intimacy and safety. Together, we will process painful memories, strengthen communication, and build tools that help you feel safer and more connected.

Hi! I’m Stephanie and I’ve been in practice as a psychotherapist for over 10 years.

I believe the only way to heal our pain is to face it, and it’s easier to do this in an empathetic space.

Let's ignite your motive to unlock your potential! Catchy slogan huh? Okay but seriously, do you ever say “this is just me” or “this is just how I act”? Fun fact, there is a “motive” behind every action and behavior that you do. Our motives are a reflection of what we’ve been through, what we are going through, or sometimes what we fear for our future. All reasons to seek therapy to better understand yourself. Your first assignment is to sit in silence and ask yourself two questions: Why do I think I act/behave the way that I do? Am I ready to unlock the potential reasons why? Hint- reflect on your childhood.

She has been in the wellness field for over 15 years working with teenagers, adolescents, and young adults.
You feel like you want things to be different going forward, but you're not sure how to make that happen. You feel a mix of emotions - sadness, anxiety, anger, fear and maybe hopelessness. When you are tired of hearing other people's expectations of you or feeling pressure from all the areas of your life, you are not feeling your best. Sometimes those “others” are parents or family. It feels like you are drowning or maybe you want to give-up. You feel like no one understands you and maybe you feel like you don’t even understand yourself right now.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. Although flexible, I tend to use a combination of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.
