Teletherapy for Valparaiso, IN

There are many reasons people seek out counseling, but the underlying reasons are that we are looking for change, meaning, or healing. Whatever your individual needs may be, I commend you for taking the first steps in addressing your situation head-on. Each client is unique, and therefore, there is no one right approach that may work best for everyone. Because of this, I use a trauma-informed integrative style to give you, the client, space to be yourself in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 13 years of experience. I have extensive experience working with teens, adults and elders. I work with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, self- esteem issues, women’s issues, communication skills among other disorders. I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Working with several local community mental health centers have provided me with a strong foundation to work with a variety of client populations including outpatient therapy, inpatient psych, and chemical dependency and addictions. I have also spent a year working in residential treatment.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients including young children as well as older adults. My counseling style is relaxed, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in a person-centered counseling approach where my clients are able to feel a sense of respect and autonomy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and strengths based. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I thoroughly believe that ANYBODY can benefit from therapy no matter what age, gender or race.

Emotions can be confusing, relationships can be messy, and past experiences can negatively impact our present lives, but with proper coping strategies, we don’t have to remain stuck in maladaptive patterns. Change can be scary and people often remain frozen due to the fear of the unknown. Change and acceptance are two concepts that are diametrically opposed but with the right mind set they can actually work hand-in-hand in order to promote growth and healing.

My goal is to create a comfortable environment where my clients feel heard and understood. I believe therapy is a place where people can let their guard down and express their authentic thoughts and feelings. By gaining self-awareness, clients can better understand their innate strengths and find ways to incorporate these positive traits into their daily living. I also believe by better understanding their values, individuals can connect with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, which ultimately contributes to a more fulfilling life.

Hello! I am currently offering office sessions, Telehealth and phone sessions to people during this time of renormalizing life.

I enjoy working with clients seeking help with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, LGBTQA+ issues, family issues and reintegration, and mindfulness.

My intention as a holistic therapist is to help facilitate what I believe our purpose here is on earth, which is to become the best versions of ourselves. I help you process and work through traumas, toxic relationships, addictions, and/or poor coping skills that prevent you from becoming your best self. I use a combination of treatment modalities to custom fit your needs. I utilize EMDR, person centered, CBT, DBT, systems and attachment theory to facilitate the healing process. I also incorporate mind, body and spirit modalities to encourage a holistic transformation. I look forward to meeting with you!

I have worked with military veterans, inner city youth and LGBTQ+ from the South Side of Chicago, affected by complex trauma. I have been a life-long educator and scholar, teaching at all school levels, from kindergarten to college. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in history, and taught at the University of Notre Dame and Moscow School of Social and Economic Studies, among other places. I combine my clinical practice with research, and truly believe in education as an important part in growth and healing.

Change is possible. You can make it happen and I would like to help you take that journey.

My goal is to connect with families and provide support through education, parent training, conflict management, and navigating through ADHD, autism, and anxiety. Raising children who have communication, developmental, and cognitive differences can impact their schooling, friendships, and family life.

Oftentimes, the origin of our individual emotional struggles are not always apparent to us. We can become alarmed when these struggles begin to impact on our day to day living and relationships. It is then that clients most often begin to reach out for therapy to gain further insight into their thoughts, actions, and feelings. Distorted thinking patterns can fuel low self esteem and affect every area in a persons life. A once used defense mechanism may no longer be useful or beneficial to your mental health and once identified can be discussed in therapy and clients can learn more adaptive ways of coping.

Are you not struggling, but also not succeeding to the level you desire? I believe that we all have the ability to reach our full capacity as individuals by changing our behaviors, thinking, and the way we react to various situations by learning more about our subconscious desires and motivators. I work with clients experiencing ADHD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. Together we can look at how your past experiences influences your mood, behavior, and relationships.

Hi There–My name is Gina! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker currently providing telehealth services.

I want to meet you where you are, not where you or anyone else thinks you “should” be. I make every effort to create a safe and comfortable space that makes you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.
