I work with adults, couples, and teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, identity exploration, grief, trauma, or the pressures of daily life. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating practical steps toward emotional wellness and healthier relationships. My role is collaborative and supportive. I don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all therapy. Instead, I work with you to develop a treatment plan that honors your experiences, values, and goals — at a pace

Starting therapy can feel confusing and overwhelming. Many people want to feel better but are not sure where to begin or what kind of therapist will be the right fit. You might be seeking help for yourself, your child, or a loved one and find that the process feels like one more obstacle. It can be hard to know who to trust or whether therapy will really make a difference. I understand how discouraging that uncertainty can feel, and my goal is to make the process easier, more supportive, and guided with compassion every step of the way.

It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the path toward healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change. I believe that therapy should be more than just a conversation—it should be a transformative experience, tailored to your unique needs and designed to foster lasting growth, resilience, and fulfillment. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), once said, “All parts are welcome.” My mission is to create a space where you can embrace every aspect of yourself—without fear or judgment—while also feeling empowered to grow into the version of yourself you strive to be.

Stephanie Karpicke
Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
West Lafayette, IN 47906
Admitting we need help can be one of the hardest first steps. It takes courage to say, “I can’t do this alone,” and even more to trust someone with your story. My goal is to make that step feel less overwhelming by creating a space that feels safe, welcoming, and centered on your unique journey. Therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard and valued, when there’s room to explore both the pain and the possibility, and when progress unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and collaboration instead of pressure or judgment. I provide evidence-based support to individuals and families using a person-centered approach.

Healing from our suffering—not just coping with it, but transforming it into growth—often requires a journey through it. It’s been said that “feelings buried alive never die.” Fear, sadness, rejection—all want acknowledgment so that we will not stay stuck in past pain. Once we bring our experience into the light, our truth can be validated. "My feelings are real." This is an important step in reaching a place of acceptance. Once the fog or confusion lifts, clarity follows and with it the momentum and freedom to finally release, let go, and move forward.

With clinical experience in hospital-based PHP/IOP programs, I specialize in helping adults and seniors navigate trauma, anxiety, and cross-cultural identity.
You are high-achieving and resilient on the outside, but the pressure to constantly prove yourself can leave you burnt out. Carrying the weight of cultural expectations, workplace microaggressions, or institutional barriers in academia is a heavy burden. As a BIPOC, bicultural therapist who has personally navigated and overcome systemic oppression, I deeply understand the chronic stress and trauma of discrimination. In our work together, your experiences and emotions (depression, anxiety, grief, burnout) will be genuinely seen, validated, and held in a safe, affirming space where we focus on your healing and reclaiming your voice.

One of the biggest challenges we face as human beings is not just our problems themselves, but the fear of confronting them. This fear can be deeply rooted in our past experiences, emotions, behaviors, and cultural perspectives. Too often, it holds us back from reaching out for help—whether due to uncertainty, fear of being truly heard, or wondering if anyone genuinely cares. Creating a supportive environment built on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and acceptance allows the clients I work with to feel safe as they work through their challenges.

Starting therapy and sharing personal aspects of life with someone new may evoke discomfort or unease. I recognize that this can be daunting, and I aim to create a space for you to explore – uncomfortable thoughts, self-image, or relationships in your life. To navigate through emotional struggles, it's important to embrace even the parts of ourselves we keep in the shadows. Working together to find root causes of trauma and working towards finding self-worth and perseverance is rewarding. Throughout our time, I look forward to cultivating trust, and fostering reflection on who you are, have been, and want to be.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
