Gottman Method Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Trained as a marriage and couples therapist working specifically with couples using the Gottman Method and other evidence-based models. I help couples build connection and intimacy and equip couples with communication and conflict management skills, help couples create shared meaning, and connect positively and emotionally. I help couples work through betrayal and infidelity issues. I work with men with pornography and sexual addiction and help rebuild broken trust in relationships. I am currently competing certification with the Gottman Method . I also have a health coach and personal training certification useful in holistic health

I primarily work with adolescents, adults, older adults, providing individual and couples therapy. My goal is to provide a safe environment where we can explore your lived experience within the context of identity, culture, and social context. I have experience helping people work through concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, lifestyle changes, identity exploration, health problems, or just feeling “stuck”. I am also committed to maintaining an environment affirming of intersecting cultural identities, with an emphasis on social justice, anti-racism, anti-colonialism, and promotion of LGBTQIA+ and sex positive values.

**Telehealth sessions only. ** It can be difficult to reach out for professional help. I hope to make the process as easy as possible. Whether you're struggling with relationships, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or managing emotions, we can work together to help you live a more fulfilling life. I work to help individual, couples, and families better understand their difficulties and identify a plan and steps to achieve their goals.

Couple's counseling and sexual health is my passion. Infidelity, cheating, and emotional affairs. Lack of sexual desire. Communication, loss of connection, and healing old hurts and resentments are common issues addressed in my practice. I'd love to meet you (I do see individuals), or you and your partner (same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, polyamorous couples). You can schedule with me directly online from my webpage: micheleomara.com

You’re intelligent and a hard worker, yet you continue feeling pulled down by the weight of stress, nagging thoughts and uncomfortable memories from the past. You’ve always pushed through hard times but now you’re overwhelmed, feeling on edge and having a hard time keeping up with work and family. Sometimes the thoughts you work hard to forget pop into your head at the most inconvenient times. No one should feel overloaded and weighed down by the past. It’s exhausting!

I believe each person has the capacity to grow towards true freedom, peace, and joy. I believe that our suffering can bring about an even greater healing. I work at a Christ-centered practice in Indianapolis. I want to help you flourish in all aspects of your life.

Perhaps you're more worried than you'd like to admit. Or life just feels flat and empty, and your mood seldom gets better. Are you losing your temper more than you should? Maybe your closest relationship is getting really uncomfortable (to put it mildly). We can work together to help you become more at peace with yourself, while living a life of values that matter to you. (Not to mention allowing more joy and meaning into your life!)

If you have questioned why you are not experiencing life to the fullest, if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions, compulsions or life controlling issues, or your relationships are not working as you had intended, I would love to help you find answers. I have worked with individuals, children, and adolescents, through out my career to help individuals and their families receive emotional healing. Historically, I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, substance abuse treatment centers, as well as individual outpatient settings. When you contact me I will work with you to develop a course of treatment that is best for you and your family.

Are you and your partner in conflict about sex? Maybe you disagree about how much sex is "enough;" maybe you are feeling rejected or misunderstood by your partner. And now that you have fought about the topic, which is a vulnerable one, solving the problem feels all the more tender and insurmountable. Many life changes can impact our sex lives, and partners can struggle to navigate these changes when they impact our sense of connection, intimacy, and validation. Maybe you are an individual struggling with sexual identity, gender, or sexual functioning. You don't need to be in a relationship to foster your sexual well-being!

I have worked with individual men and women dealing with a wide range of struggles. Some of the struggles that I have helped clients with include depression, anxiety, addiction to multiple different substances, borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders, and co-dependency. I also have a lot of experience working with couples as well. I have helped couples work through and heal from infidelity, addiction to various substances, conflict management, and improving communication skills.
