Male Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Religion from Southern Wesleyan University in 2005. I earned my Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2010 and have been working in the counseling field since. I enjoy working with a wide variety of issues, including couple/family relationships, parenting, men 's sexual integrity issues, mood disorders, and more. I have particular interest in working with Christian families and ministry families.

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 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.

As guys, we don't really like to talk about it. You know, the stress, the dissatisfaction with our lives, our relationships, our jobs. Hitting that point in life where things just aren't what we thought they were supposed to be. So we shut down. We get angry and irritable. We stuff it down because we're never supposed to let them see us sweat. The problem is we end up exhausted, frustrated, and just plain lost. But if you want to find your way again, you've got to stop and ask for directions at some point, right?

At MMHI we provide therapy for Men , Women, Married & Non-Married Couples. Men are currently going through an identity crisis. Decades ago, men were appreciated, respected, and cherished for simply working and providing for their households. The expectations from partners/spouses, children, and members of the community, have shifted greatly for various reasons, leaving men in a lost space. This space will leave a man feeling unwanted, used, abused, and unloved - causing anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, infidelity, and other life damanging issues.

I am a social worker who specializes in couples and sexual-related issues. I do a lot of work with couples around infidelity, trust and sexual issues. I spend much time helping couples overcome the aftermath of affairs and help lead them to a better relationship than they previously had. I also work with individuals with problems like depression, anxiety and loss. I do my sessions exclusively by video and phone and have done teletherapy for about five years. My style is very casual and thoughtful. And I have become very adept at doing teletherapy. I find that most of my clients prefer this format.

As a therapist, I work with male clients who are dealing with a wide variety of mental health issues. My specialty is in the areas of parent/teen relationships, teen behaviors, and men 's issues. Are you a parent looking for solutions to the torn relationship you have with your teen? Are you a man trying to figure out how to balance life's problems without losing yourself altogether? You want solutions to these issues so you can find peace in your relationships and peace within.

I enjoy working with clients who want to grow as individuals and in their relationships. I love walking with clients through their individual and relational struggles. I want to create a nonjudgmental and safe place for people who are hurting and want a place to express their pain and grow in healthy and positive ways. I greatly enjoy helping couples grow in being better spouses and partners. I also enjoy working with families who have children with special needs to come alongside them and process the difficulties they face. Individuals going through transitions is also a passion of mine including college, premarital, and parenthood

​Most people come to counseling either feeling stuck in their present situation or in significant emotional pain. Our ambition is to help you resolve or learn ways to better manage your concern(s) in a safe and experiential environment. It would be a great privilege to join you during this time in your life. Be confident that your therapeutic work is of great value to us, and it is our mission to support you in a nonjudgmental, culturally-sensitive, and caring manner.

I specialize in helping clients with complex needs for change-making. Even the common reasons that we seek therapy – depression, anxiety & strained relationships - can become overwhelming. Especially, when we add conditions like non-typical brain processing (ADHD), unique ways of thinking (Asperger’s/ Autism Spectrum) & surviving chronic trauma (e.g., Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Dissociative Disorders). These challenges require educating ourselves about our condition, learning to believe in ourselves, developing self-soothing skills & retraining our brain structures that operate in survival mode.

Significant disconnection and shame are intense and unfortunately common experiences people are struggling with. Sometimes, our emotions or body sensations feel intense or overwhelming. This pain may lead us to act in ways that are against our values or desires. Perhaps we act out sexually, eat excessively, or are avoidant of relationships. Regardless, these behaviors often further our loss of control, distress, hurt, and low self-esteem.

(Biofeedback and Neurobiofeedback see profile for details.) I have been a clinican since 1973. It is through this depth of experience I have come to realize that we are all just innocent beings who, through conditioning, forgot who we truly are - perfect, loving, and whole. Therapy then becomes a process of remembrance and realignment with our true Self.

I love helping people. I've been in practice on the Westside of Indianapolis for over 28 years. We are a general psychology practice with individual and couples counseling services, working with teens and adults. We offer some testing services as well. We have a good reputation with the Christian community in and around Indianapolis.

My style is down-to-earth, direct, and personal. This type of therapy aims to change both our outward struggles and behaviors that can seem baffling and distressing while understanding the issues that underlie them. These deeper forces - hidden from view and rooted in our past and early relationships - can result in the greatest difficulty, and cause us to feel stuck, confused, empty, or out of control. Having the involvement and perspective of another person can help alleviate pain, shift old patterns, recover from difficulties, and lead to lasting change.

I work with clients who are ready for change and are eager to honestly examine their lives-- clients who are ready to explore issues which have generated disappointments, resentments, loneliness, pain, anger, or heartache. Life is hard, and at times we all need someone who will see us, hear us, and help us explore who we are and why we do the things we do. My approach is primarily psychodynamic and it is highly influenced by object relations and attachment theory. I believe our work is a collaborative effort. I provide a compassionate, engaging and respectful environment for clients.

I work with all types of patients, including those who have never been in therapy. Therapy can seem intimidating, but I will work to see that you feel comfortable and safe. It's important to feel trust in your therapist, so I welcome your feedback as to how I can better help you.
