Sagamore Therapists in Westfield, IN

My name is Samantha Wright-Cooksey, MSW, LCSW. I have been a therapist for over 20 years with combined experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I have provided professional services in outpatient, home, community and school-based settings. I have worked in addictions as well as end of life issues. I utilize strength-based and solution focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and problem solving skills training. I offer in person and telehealth options for therapy. I accept most insurance, EAP, and self pay options.

All humans experience pain and stress in life along with the propensity to become entangled in distressing thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations when challenges arise. This often leads to perceptions, interactions, behaviors, and decisions that add further distress to both the mind and body. I attempt to facilitate increased mindfulness through improved insight, awareness, compassion, non-judgment and decreased entanglement in the distressing internal dialogue. I incorporate various theoretical perspectives including mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive and cognitive behavioral as I attempt to guide individuals toward increased inner peace.

Times of struggle and pain can also be times of positive growth. When we learn that we have choices in how we respond to the situations in our lives, we can become empowered to choose to respond to stressors in a way that enables us to move forward in an intentional and positive direction. It is my goal to help you discover the choices and strengths you have to cope with the challenges you face and to also discover the gifts that are so often hidden in adversities in order that you might actively choose the future you want.

I have extensive experience in numerous therapeutic techniques and am oriented as a family-systems therapist. I am also a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). I help my clients to: proactively manage themselves; identify and implement new behaviors that dissolve negative patterns; and provide guidance and support as the new, positive patterns are cemented. I work most effectively with: Individuals; Couples; and Families. I help my clients set realistic treatment goals so they can quickly see the results they desire.

I have a passion for helping with building skills that encourage a balanced healthy lifestyle in both children and adults. These skills may help with managing emotions, dealing with anxiety/depression, coping with traumatic experiences, learning social skills, or processing through grief/loss. Learning to be successful in managing emotions and navigating peer/family relationships is a positive tool that can lead to a healthy and happier life. I strive to provide supportive tools to help with gaining emotional health/regulation skills that can be confidently applied to many situations.

Dr. Elizabeth Andresen is a Psychologist in Indiana who has been practicing since 2014. Dr. Andresen sees patients across the lifespan when there are concerns about thinking skills (i. e. , memory, attention, problem solving, language). The measures she completes with patients help her understand what's going on with the patient's brain, to see what parts are working the way we would expect for age, and what parts are having more trouble. This helps everyone understand what support the patient needs, and how the patient can use their excellent skills to support the things that are harder for them.

Life may seem overwhelming, as if you are alone and no one understands you. Maybe you have an issue with someone, but the thought of conflict makes you shut down and avoid the situation. Perhaps you are anxious or consumed with worry or afraid of disappointing others. I have worked with many patients who struggle to stay connected in relationships or effectively communicate with others. You could struggle with anger issues and use anger to defend and protect yourself from being hurt.
