Female Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Is your child struggling to communicate efficiently, having meltdowns at the store, or lacking play skills that help keep them occupied? Are you on a long waitlist for full-time ABA services or awaiting an Autism diagnosis? Don't fall into limbo while you are needing support.

"Let out what is inside of you, for what is inside of you will save you". I believe this quote emphasizes the power of the therapeutic process: personal empowerment through self-expression, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance. In an ever-demanding, stressful, and confusing world, it's easy to lose sight of one of the most healing and fulfilling relationships one can have: the relationship with oneself. I experience therapy as a unique collaboration in which one is guided toward a more profound and restorative understanding of their individuality.

I truly have a passion for counseling and want it to be a nurturing and valuable experience for you. I am committed to helping you or your loved one to overcome obstacles and learn new ways of coping with the stressors in life. As a therapist, I strive to provide a comfortable and supportive environment where we can discuss your concerns and determine a plan to best help you meet goals to improve your quality of life.

My name is Mercedes Carey, and I'm a licensed social worker. I'm interested in assisting people in discovering new ways to live a lifestyle that promotes healing on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level. I use somatic approaches, such as mindfulness and movement, to treat the mind and body together. As a queer masculine-presenting woman of color, I know what it’s like to belong to multiple marginalized identities and navigate spaces where your entire self is not acknowledged or welcomed. I am deeply committed to providing a safe therapeutic environment that recognizes and honors individuals as a whole person.

The road to self discovery and growth can get overwhelming when tackling it alone. Finding faults in others tends to be easy, but what happens when we look at our own lives? How do we change something that we don't quite understand? What if our actions are tied to childhood traumas or unresolved issues from the past? How can we break free from the mental bondage that has been tainting how we engage in relationships?

You've accomplished a lot for what you've been through, but it still doesn't feel like it's enough. "When will it be enough, will I be enough?" a constant refrain. Always pushing yourself. Worrying about what others think: accomplishment equates with worth, right? You're exhausted. You need respite, calm place to talk, take a breath, slow your thoughts, gain clarity and perspective. Internal chaos, battling thoughts, emotions, disconnect from your body doesn't have to be the norm. Internal peace is possible. Together, we can discover how to achieve this.

The need for a space to heal and grow is even greater, as we have all experienced unprecedented loss, pain, and isolation. As we reach the light at the end of the tunnel, there is still uncertainty as to the long-term effects of what we have endured. No one should have to face it alone.
