Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling and therapy at some point in their lives simply because no one has had a perfect life and we all struggle sometimes. I applaud your courage in beginning the process of reaching out for support. I want to create a safe space in which you can share thoughts, feelings and behavior without judgment and where together we can explore them further and develop strategies to change those that are causing problems and strengthen those that are helpful and working well. I have experience working with addictions, trauma, dissociation, borderline personality disorder, and mood disorders.

I am a LCSW, LCAC and EMDR certified with over 9 years of experience with many success stories such as, helping clients move from despair to freedom to live the life they deserve by conquering demons of addiction and/or trauma, overcoming the fears of anxiety, the stronghold of depression, no longer lost in the fog of dissociation, in self-control and learning to love self for the first time after years of trauma and abuse. I have been blessed when children and spouses of clients have expressed their thanks for helping their loved one get on the right path of recovery from addiction and trauma.

When we have been through difficult things, oftentimes we feel misunderstood, unheard, unsafe and hopeless. I do not believe that trauma makes us stronger; rather, I believe that there is something beautiful within us that brings us through the trauma. Trauma processing allows us to let go of negative beliefs about ourselves and the world; beliefs such as “I am not safe,” or “I am unlovable.” These beliefs can make us feel stuck; like having a rich and full life is not possible. As your therapist, I will work to empower you to accept all parts of self, allowing for peace from within that will trickle into all facets of life.

The ideal client for the E.L.L.A group practice are individuals, families, adolescents suffering with emotional instability due to significant life transition, trauma & loss and those who struggle with psychiatric illness that impact daily functioning. The group practice assists in finding answers for where (and why) an individual/family may be in their life.....how they got there (influences, stressors, traumas, barriers), identifying alternatives for improved life functioning (treatment, employment options etc), and finally assisting in finding contentment, balance and peace with current life status while encouraging optimal functioning in all aspects of one's life or business.

Do you keep revealing to yourself and your loved ones that you are not the person you want to be? Have you kept yourself so hidden from others that now you have difficulty knowing who you are or what you want? Most likely, you have adapted over the years to challenges, maybe traumas, which have helped you survive. Except, those adaptations aren't serving you anymore, and they are actually making things worse. Perhaps you're afraid it's too late, that too much damage has been done. You believe the REAL YOU is hidden somewhere, you just need support finding yourself and living into your highest potential.

Are you feeling stuck? Having difficulty keeping up? Wanting to make a change but don't know where to begin? Change can be scary, and even more intimidating if feeling overwhelmed or alone. But change is possible and always offers an opportunity for growth and hope for a better future. We have years of experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals of all ages and families of all backgrounds. We offer a calm, warm, nonjudgmental space where issues of all types and sizes may be explored. In this safe, supportive environment, therapeutic services are adapted to meet clients' individualized needs.

You are my ideal client if you are ready to change your life, relationships, or to maintain an mental illness. I work with those who have experienced /experiencing grief or loss, chronic illness, pain, marriage issues, divorce, anger, anxiety, depression, insomnia, post traumatic stress, or sexual abuse. (male or female) I also enjoy working with those who want to discover who they are, and identify what they are feeling. If you desire someone to assist you with the above concerns please allow me to help you identify, understand and create the change you desire.

After 35 years of experience, I approach life and therapy with a sense of humor, creativity and evidence based practices. Most clients report that I am easy to talk to and put people at ease. I enjoy challenges and exploring mind-body-spirit using ACT, CBT and EMDR. Complex issues are interesting to me along with normal life transitions, depression, anxiety and trauma. I welcome working with high school students, young adults, and adult individuals and couples of any age. My office or virtual office is a safe place to explore diversity of all kinds including LGBTQIA+ , disability and culture

There are many reason why you find yourself seeking therapy at this time, however, I imagine a consistent theme may be the desire to begin building the life and relationships you desire. Therapy is one of the few spaces in which insightful, thought-provoking connections can thrive; allowing room for new understanding, fostering growth and healing past wounds. Ultimately, providing the necessary space and time to heal. While I build my practice from many schools of therapeutic technique, I truly believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important piece of the counseling experience and the healing process.

Are you going through difficult changes in your life? Divorce, relationship problems, illness, career uncertainty? Feeling depressed, anxious? Having age-related problems? Memory, fear, adjustment, grief? Have you had bad experiences you can't get over, that haunt you, or keep tripping you up? Do others notice that you're different? Do you feel different to yourself; feel that your life is just stuck, without direction, motivation? Does some of this sound like you? Then I can help. You and I can form a productive, helpful relationship through which to take on the issues that are holding you back.

Struggling to cope with the craziness of life? Need a safe, affirming, trauma-informed space to process your experiences and your emotions? Are you a new parent (or soon-to-be-parent) trying to work through new, unexpected thoughts and feelings that accompany parenthood (or struggling with a perinatal mood disorder)? Are you trying to figure out your interpersonal relationships and what makes you feel fulfilled on an intimate level? If you are looking to work through these issues in a collaborative environment where you feel heard, and ultimately figure out ways to cope, you have come to the right clinician.
