Are you ready to do the hard work of healing with an open mind and heart?

Are you a young adult who wants freedom and independence, but are also unsure how to handle all of the responsibilities that come with being an “adult”? Do you feel like you should have it all figured out by now, but in reality- you have no idea what direction you life should go? Are you a young adult who has experienced childhood trauma that is impeding your growth and ability to make decisions? Welcome! I’m Megan and I am excited to help you on this journey to adulthood and self discovery! Together we can work through past trauma and heal the wounds that are holding you back.

Is your life headed in the direction you want it? Are there things hanging around from your past that are affecting current life decisions/relationships? The best gift we can give to others is the gift of our own health. By taking care of ourselves, we inherently can be "better" for the loved ones in our life. I have over 15 years experience working with clients and a variety of life challenges: depression, anxiety, divorce, separation, work/life balance, substance abuse, and survivors of trauma . I am client centered, compassionate and authentic. Call me today to see how counseling can help.

Thank you for taking the first step towards healing by seeking a counselor. I am here to listen and be supportive on your journey, without being judgmental. of your journey. Hopefully while working together, you are not only able to find healing, but also start to take steps back into God's purpose for your life. We have a Greater Purpose in life than our current situation. Just like the seasons changed the leaves on a tree, our situations in life changes. I am currently accepting patients from both Indiana & Colorado.

As a therapist my goal is to help individuals develop and learn the tools necessary to lead the lives they envision for themselves and to meet their goals. To accomplish this, I focus on building rapport and establishing the therapeutic relationship as this has been proven to be a strong catalyst for change. My counseling style is built on mutual respect, trust, and empowerment.

“Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.”- Brené Brown We are often met with experiences in life that shape us and create patterns of responding to our environments in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We may feel alone in moments of darkness, confusion or in the presence of the unknown; you are not alone! We will work to trust the process of sitting with the uncomfortable, embracing uniqueness and vulnerabilities and identifying thoughts and feelings that prevent us from seeing our best selves.

Hi there. I'm so happy you found my counseling profile. I have experience with a wide array of issues including depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug issues, PTSD , personality disorders, bipolar and other mood disorders, eating disorders, trauma , and relationship issues. I have an eclectic approach to therapy using different techniques such as motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, psychoeducation, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy.

Whether I'm working with children, adolescents, or adults, my goal is to create a safe and accepting therapeutic space. It is within the context of interpersonal safety that the healing process can freely occur. Although I work with a variety of concerns and individuals of all ages, I specialize in trauma treatment, couples therapy, perinatal mood disorders, & sex therapy, serving the Indianapolis area. I provide psychological testing to clarify diagnoses (ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, autism, & learning disorders). I also provide bilingual (Spanish) evaluations, immigration/extreme hardship evaluations, & FAA airman evaluations.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have a passion for working with individuals wherever they may be in their own personal journey. I have spent much of my professional career working with children, adolescents and young adults as a therapist and an educator. I understand the challenges and rewards as they relate to school, family, social stressors and life transitions. I also work closely with families as they navigate these areas as a parent, guardian or sibling.

Therapy is extremely rewarding and challenging. Change is necessary for us to grow along our journey. With that said, change is an uncomfortable yet an integral ingredient for the growth to reach your goals. Trauma shows itself in a multitude of symptoms. I would like the opportunity to walk with you on your journey. I can offer a variety of tools to aid you in navigating your desired changes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over seven years of experience. I work with adults experiencing chronic pain, distress from past trauma , anxiety, or depression who feel overwhelmed with managing daily life. I am uniquely equipped to help you heal your mind and body in order to move forward and live a fuller life. Together we will explore your feelings, stressors, and pain triggers as you develop skills to manage and improve your symptoms. I approach every session with care, compassion, and an open mind. I am willing to go deeper with you and help you identify strengths you can use to overcome adversity.

Bring a cup of tea or coffee with you to our session together, and let's talk. I specialize in helping adults (18 yrs and older) discover their resiliency, and find peace in their everyday lives. I work with those affected by anxiety, depression and trauma , as well as issues including life changes and self-esteem. My focus is on providing individual therapy.

Opting for therapy is not easy. The thought may even be scary. Well, that's normal. Who wants to open their private pains to someone they've just met? But when life hurts, when you've tried your best to fix things and it just isn't working, you might consider doing something different. Life's too short to merely abide in distress.

I understand that it takes much strength to seek out assistance when needed. I believe we are not made to live in isolation, and we do best when we are part of a community. By recognizing the events that have formed us in life, we can learn from them and become a better version of ourselves.

My mental health knowledge base is derived from crisis care in the busiest emergency department in Indiana, residential treatment facilities, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization programs and traditional outpatient therapy settings. I now work independently and am happy to share office space at New Perspectives of Indiana. I focus on working with both adolescent and adult patients who are living and struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and interpersonal related issues.

Are you feeling anxious, sad or just feeling that you can find a better way to live? For over 20 years I have worked with individuals who are looking to improve themselves and achieve their goals. I support them in finding solutions that work for their lives in a compassionate, relaxed environment. I’m a Certified Mental Health Integrated Medicine Practitioner and can help you address diet, movement and sleep changes that can improve your symptoms. Whether you have been in therapy before or this is your first time, I look forward to assisting you in making things work better for you.
