Couples Counseling Therapists in Noblesville, IN

I earned my undergraduate degree in Bible and Religion from Anderson University. I completed my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Additionally, I have post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have worked in residential facilities for at-risk youth, schools, prisons, churches and private practices.

IF YOU are here, you are ready to face your demons. You’ve had experiences in life that still haunt you, like a bad childhood, a horrible break up, or the death of a loved one. You’ve been able to maintain a sense of normalcy, but underneath the surface you are in emotional pain & you can’t quite put your finger on it. You may have turned to alcohol or drugs numb the pain or feel alive. You know you’re a good person and have every reason to be happy, and yet you can’t seem to FEEL completely happy and well. There’s a disconnect between your mind and your heart/soul. Perhaps your intimate relationship is struggling too.

I view the counseling relationship as a safe place to promote growth through life’s challenges. I use a holistic approach, including mind and body, to help others live a healthy and more meaningful life. I believe that relationships with others and finding meaning in life plays a role in how we see ourselves, and how we feel about others.

I have been told many times that I am easy to talk to. I look forward to working with individuals, families as well as children and adolescents to address a multitude of issues. Confronting negative patterns and building on strengths brings change as we work through contributing issues. Substance Abuse assessment and treatment also available. I have formed many relationships with court, county, legal and medical professionals to offer the best collaboration of care.

Many of my clients say that, in one way or another, their life just seems disjointed, frustrating, overwhelming, lonely and confusing. Sometimes that is a description of their inner state of mind, or it could describe how they feel within their most personal relationships. Others report a significant life change that has thrown them off course. It could be a career crossroad, a traumatic event/upbringing or a relational struggle that brings them to seek therapy.

It’s so easy in this day and age to lose sight of one’s self and wake up one day and not recognize the person in the mirror. It’s my passion to come alongside those individuals or couples that have lost their way in life and need a listening ear or a fresh perspective. I firmly believe that every dry and painful season of life can be a springboard into hope for the next. It does not matter who you are, what’s been done or what you have done, there is hope.

I am a graduate of Ball State University's counseling psychology program, where I completed my dissertation on the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. My graduate training focused on attachment based and systemic interventions with couples and families. I have a range of clinical experience, including wrap-around and residential services for children, psychological assessments for DCS, forensic assessments, adult inpatient and residential care, and community mental health and integrated care outpatient services.

I welcome you, with warmth, to my practice! I help clients to be at ease in therapy, and offer compassionate care crafted by 25 years of private practice experience with individual adults, couples , families, adolescents— including experience in working with multicultural persons, ethnic minority clients, and LGBTQ clients. Creating a space of care and respect for you and your unique journey, I carefully match your needs and personality style to evidence-based practice. ​My passion is helping you move forward. Often, we need to reclaim a healthy space after suffering from depression, anxiety or trauma.

I explain to my clients that the hardest work they will do will be outside of the counseling office. Changing behaviors and ways of thinking can be the most difficult challenge when you feel stuck. I'm here to help individuals and couples improve communication and engage in healthier coping skills.

Are you ready to make a change? I'm Cheri Counterman, LCSW. I've been working as a therapist and medical social worker for over a decade. I've worked with clients who have had a wide range of concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, and many more. For therapeutic modalities, I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) but also utilize other forms of therapy like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and MI (Motivational Interviewing). I am passionate about learning new therapeutic skills and attend yearly trainings to stay on top of new evidence-based therapies.

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have worked in multiple school districts and home-based settings with children, adolescents, and families. Additionally, I have experience working with a variety of clients, specializing in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, executive functioning skills, relational issues, and personal growth.

Hello! Are you wanting to start or continue the journey of self-exploration? Are you struggling with an issue and not sure the way forward? A lot of us out there don't feel like we can ask for or accept help, and we need to change the framework around this. Everyone is deserving of help and should get it when needed. Heck, we need it sometimes to get back up. Taking care of our mental health is pivotal to our happiness, growth, and success. My areas of expertise have been addictions/substance use, anxiety, depression, and men's issues.

Life can be difficult. A marriage that's just okay. A chronic illness that has stolen the life you thought you would live. A shining star in your sport now succumbing to anxiety and doubt. You don't know who you are anymore and what purpose you have. You want to be able to see the good in life and not dwell on the negative. You want a significant marriage or relationship . You know you have what it takes to be the best in your sport “if only”. You're ready to LIVE and learn how to find purpose in your suffering. You want hope. You want to understand YOU better and in return have more fulfilling relationships.

Compassionate Roots was made for those of us that are a little awkward, quirky and anxious. Do you want to pursue therapy but fear being judged? Are you highly sensitive and empathetic? Have you always marched to the beat of your own drummer? Welcome, you just found your safe place! My approach and motto are simple - everyone deserves a compassionate, and judgement free environment to heal and grow. I have a warm and interactive approach. My priority as your therapist is that you feel safe, heard, and that you feel comfortable as your authentic self. Therapy should not feel stuffy or tense!

As a practicing counselor for 15 years, I have been able to walk alongside many individuals and couples as they move towards healing in different areas of their lives. Life can be overwhelming and extra support is so valuable in our lives. My hope is that clients walk away with more insight, tools, and hope. I want each client to come out of our therapy time together with added value and tangible steps for integrating insights and creating change. At Reclaimed Counseling we have 4 counselors with varying specialties to meet the needs of our community.

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.

As a Bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy in Indiana, I am passionate about helping clients move towards a greater emotional well-being. I provide a warm environment where clients are able to feel safe to express themselves and tell their story. I have worked with individuals for 10 years and have helped many clients realize that life is all about growth and change, which isn't always easy or comfortable. I have extensive experience helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, phase of life transitions, stress (finances, work or home life), grief and loss, family conflict, ADD, etc..
