Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Schererville, IN

As a Clinical Social Worker, my focus is to meet my patients where they are. I work to connect with people and build a trusting and honest rapport from the moment they walk into my office. My focus is women's mental health and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Are you wondering if therapy is the best step for you? Finding the right therapist can be quite scary and I’m so glad you’re here. I am passionate about working with individuals who are transitioning from incarceration, those recovering from substance use disorders, mental health and/or experiencing current or past trauma.

I provide an accepting and compassionate environment so that you can begin the healing process and move towards meaningful, long term change. My areas of focus are eating disorders and co-occurring disorders such as OCD, mood disorders, and trauma. I also work with individuals that have had bariatric surgery and also have an eating disorder. I approach food and body issues with the understanding that an ED can affect any person in any body. Clients that are seeking treatment for eating disorders will be encouraged to experience health and body acceptance through a non-diet approach.

I am a compassionate, concerned, and empathetic therapist with years of experience. I provide a non-judgmental, accepting, and encouraging therapeutic environment. I work with adults, teens, preteens, adolescents, individuals, groups, couples, and families, using a variety of therapeutic techniques. I have experience working with a variety of mental health issues. I have treated clients with issues related to trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anger management, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, ADD, OCD, panic disorder, employment and workplace problems, and grief.

My ideal client would be open to my observations of their personality; one who knows that I too can learn from them, not only the other way around; who is a good historian and willing to be compliant in sharing pertinent factors to their recovery; one with whom I can establish a basis of mutual trust and who understands that my role as a therapist is not to only tell them what they want to hear; one who can appreciate a good sense of humor; one who is willing to apply my experience, strength and hope to their situation; one who is open to the importance of accepting life on life's terms, particularly the will of God.

Do you want to make a change? Is the voice in the back of your head telling you it’s time to get help? If so, I am here for you. I believe each and every one of us has the answers within, and sometimes, we need help drawing out those answers. I value the therapeutic relationship, and strive to be understanding, empathetic, and a safe place for you to share anything that is on your mind and heart. We all need healing, and that is what I love to help client’s do.

Over the years and after receiving thousands of initial calls and emails from clients, it is clear that many are unsure of what they need or where to go. We find great pleasure in helping clients navigate this process. As a group practice we are able to provide services for a variety of needs: anxiety, addictions, pain management, depression, relationship issues, psychological testing, individual, life transitions and even helping clients who just want to live their best life! We stand out in our efforts to make this process as smooth as possible. Many providers boast about their training in a particular treatment approach (and this is important) but research suggests that the interventions are only part of the story. The fit between client and clinician, the wellbeing of the clinician, the ease of access and the experience of the treatment process matter as much, and sometimes more, than the particular treatment model used. Pillars of Wellness was founded with the hope of ensuring an ideal client-clinician fit and providing both clients and clinicians with a positive experience. We let our clinicians excel at their craft by giving them the space to create their ideal practice.
