Somatic Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Have you experienced childhood trauma that is currently impacting the way you show up in your relationships or as a parent/significant other? Do you find yourself trapped in negative patterns or communication cycles that push you further away from the authentic connection you so deeply desire? Do you want to learn how to heal from the trauma you've experienced and not pass it on? I believe with a deep knowing that we can heal from the wounds of our past and even develop authentic genuine attachments. I lean on the transformational power of relationship and a mind/body approach to help you heal and find joy again.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” Fred Rogers sums up very well the first steps of healing - to begin to share what is happening in a compassionate space. I am passionate about supporting people in facing the difficulties and complexities of life with courage.

How long have you been hearing the call to a different way of being with yourself and the world? It might just be the quiet whispering of your heart urging you to something more. Or perhaps the whole universe is shouting that something has got to change, you can’t keep living like this. Avoiding our fear of change can keep us stuck. But your capacity to heal is only limited by your beliefs about what is possible. Genuinely transformational work is ultimately a mix of intentional effort and surprising playfulness. It’s about engaging your inner life in new and creative ways in the safe space of a trusted relationship.

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.

For the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Empath, the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing” - their central nervous systems process sensory and energetic information more deeply than the average person. Years of taking in this level of input without awareness and compassion can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, patterns of codependency, and unresolved trauma. Your heightened capacity to absorb information does not have to hinder your personal growth & well-being. I specialize in partnering with HSP’s & Empaths as they process traumatic experiences and create positive change in their lives.

I support people who want to explore social isolation and confusion due to current social issues, body image and gender, relational wounding, disconnect, life transitions, aging, stress and trauma. I am also here for adult immigrants to the US to guide them through the challenging transitions they encounter and to explore their sociocultural identities within the present context of their life and their culture of origin. I also work with people who experience symptoms medically otherwise unexplained (brain fog, fatigue) that build on our unique neurophysiological patterns of reaction to stress.

I have over 20 years experience and specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and pregnancy/postpartum support and mood disorders. If you are concerned about certain life events, moods, or thoughts, counseling often helps to provide clarity, reassurance, and a way through. My goal is to work with you to find coping strategies, resolution, and increased well-being & peace of mind. I enjoy and have experience working with people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. I am an EMDR Therapist (EMDRIA trained). My office hours include evenings.

Do you find yourself emotionally stuck, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with dealing with the impact of trauma, feeling exhausted from managing anxiety, or stuck under the weight of depression. You might not even remember a time when things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to be in control of your life. You're ready to be free from the burden you've been carrying. Most of all, you're ready to move forward with the plans you've always had for your life.

I work with individuals who may struggle with worry, irritability, sadness, rapid mood changes, feeling distracted, self-esteem, disrupted sleep, setting boundaries with others, and other challenges. I help address past events and experiences, such as childhood and relational trauma, that may impact someone's ability to get through their day. My clients often want to understand themselves better, improve their relationships with others, develop skills and strategies, and enhance their sense of wellbeing.

Sometimes we feel sad, lonely, anxious, scared, worried, angry or maybe even unsure exactly how we feel, but something feels off. Sometimes when we are really upset we start to feel physical symptoms in our bodies. Sometimes we can feel very irritable or even have outbursts of anger. Sometimes we just can’t stop thinking about something that happened and other times we don’t want to think about it at all. Sometimes we notice ourselves becoming disconnected from others or just not doing what we used to enjoy doing. Sometimes we can’t sleep even if we really want to and feel tired.

In an instant your life changed forever...perhaps it was a traumatic event, diagnosis or an unexpected loss. Maybe it was a major life change, end of a relationship or the pandemic. You don’t recognize your life. You don’t recognize yourself. You want to feel…well normal again. I want that for you too! I am grateful you are here seeking what we all need to grow and thrive, someone in our corner! If I can be that person for you, please reach out to me in whatever way is most convenient for you.

As a queer, Asian-American growing up in a religious immigrant home, I understand how challenging it is to reconcile culture clashing and diverging identities. Before becoming a therapist, I spent the majority of my professional life in the tech industry. I have extensive experience working with developmental trauma/PTSD, complex family dynamics, family of origin concerns, work stress, career development, identity exploration/development, relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, chronic illness, and many other issues. I work with preteen/adolescents/adult individuals, relationships, and families.

I believe in our innate capacity to grow and heal. Sometimes we need a little help along the way. I support that process with compassion, acceptance, and respect. I am most passionate about working with those struggling with relational or complex trauma, attachment issues, self-worth, shame, addictions, and parenting.
