AEDP Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
At some point in our lives, most of us will find ourselves stuck–a place in which our current methods of navigating life don't work. We feel exhausted, discouraged, and uncertain about how things could ever improve, but worst of all perhaps, alone– disconnected from others and oftentimes ourselves. Maybe you're struggling with unwanted behaviors, battling persistent depression or anxiety, or having the same argument/impasse with your partner– feeling like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to change. I’ve known stuck… I’ve known despair that has led me to what seemed the only answer– disconnect from life and just survive.

If you look like you’re doing fine on the outside but feel stuck on the inside, I’d really love to help. A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have already spent years trying to understand themselves. Yet anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or the same frustrating relationship patterns keep showing up.

I offer my clients a listening ear, openness, and curiosity. I encourage the intersection of theology and counseling, when it’s welcomed, and I encourage a creative approach, using elements of our culture, such as film, music, various forms of written fiction, and more. I recognize that no two clients are the same. I bring my unique self into each session, and I encourage every client to do the same. And, I am comfortable with difficult things, and the dark places.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
