Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Whiteland, IN

I am CURRENTLY accepting new patients. I am currently only offering Telehealth (video chat and phone calls). Email is my preferred method of contact, please feel free to email me and we can setup a phone call. Reaching out to a therapist can be a challenging first step. I am here to help when you are ready. My goal is to be a support in my client’s life and walk alongside them in their therapeutic journey. I have developed a passion for helping teens and adults to develop coping skills to work through and process day to day stressors.

Hello, my name is Amber. I am a pre-licensed clinical social worker and I am passionate about working with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression. Most of my practice focuses on helping people learn skills to manage anxiety, navigate challenging situations and relationships, and achieve increased personal satisfaction and improved quality of life. Most people have experienced times in their lives when negative emotions seemed overwhelming. I will support you and assist you with identifying problematic issues and learning how to effectively cope and feel better.

Congratulations on taking steps to create a new path for yourself and thank you for visiting my profile! My goal is to provide you with a comfortable space to explore challenges, thoughts, and feelings in order to heal. My background includes working in the mental health field for over 18 years in various capacities including in homes, schools, and outpatient community mental health settings.

I work best with people who are feeling chained down by their self-esteem, whether that be from their self-talk or external factors such as family, friends, or society. Anyone who is looking to improve their life overall, even if they do not know what that looks like. People who are seeking to heighten their intuition and prioritize growth. I have a special passion for the LGBTQ+ community and am a gay-identifying therapist. I also specialize in mindfulness, grief, and oncology. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which allows people to quickly process trauma and other negative experiences in a short amount of time.

I am here to help those who are suffering in some way and want to improve their situation. I have nearly 20 years of experience working with and for clients and patients in many settings, including residential treatment centers such as Fairbanks Hospital in Indy and Meadows Hospital in Bloomington, and two of the oldest non-profits around in the Children's Bureau and Families First.

My ideal client is someone who wants to actively pursue new paths to find their true, healthy self. Ideally, ready to do the work. I am here to challenge cognitive distortions. I will be a partner in brainstorming issues and goals. Hard work from the client and support from an intuitive counselor will clear the path to the answers within.

After 27 years of working in the mental health field, in 3 different countries, I have an appreciation for the fact that life rarely goes according to plan. Perhaps you’re struggling with feeling anxious, depressed, or unfulfilled with some part of your life, or you find yourself longing for deeper, more meaningful relationships. Have you lived through traumatic events (whether recent or long ago) that have changed you in ways you don’t understand, caused you to react unpredictably...made you feel like a stranger to yourself, & you’re struggling to cope? I believe in meeting you where you're at, with compassion, & without judgment.

My ideal client is anyone who genuinely wants help and genuinely wants to make a change. Their issues are immaterial.

Connecting with a therapist can feel intimidating: opening up to anyone can make us feel vulnerable, especially when the things we feel we need to talk about most are also the most painful. Choosing a counselor with experience can help make this process easier. In my more than 20 years experience as a therapist, I’ve found that allowing clients to test the waters, and build a rapport with me is important before diving into painful experiences. During this initial phase, we’ll identify strategies to help reduce symptoms. Some clients feel this is all they need; others choose to further explore their potential for growth.

We are all on a journey in life, and every part is just a piece of the bigger puzzle. We all encounter good times, bad times, challenges, learning moments, and more that help shape us into the human beings we are today. I desire to create a safe and welcoming environment where every individual can discover the pieces of their own puzzle. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard and allowed to grow and mature as a whole person (mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually).

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

I have been active in the mental health field for almost 20 years. I believe that therapy is a process that focuses on balance in all areas of life. My practice has been open for 7 years and continues to grow. I work primarily with teenagers and young adults but also see adults and families. Areas of specialty include but are not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Grief and Loss, Borderline Personality Disorder and trauma. My framework of therapy is based off of DBT principles.

Staci has been working as a licensed clinical therapist with all ages for 20 years. She is licensed in IN, NJ, DE, FL (telehealth), CA, and is now also working with clients as a Nationally Certified Health and Wellness Coach, assisting clients in setting and achieving goals such as weight loss, career advancement, and overall increased life satisfaction.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana with my doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I believe that change is possible if the client is ready. Recognizing that change may be difficult, I am here to support, encourage, gently challenge, and assist my clients in their process on their journey. I primarily work with adults focusing on various concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, career/job challenges, and end-of-life concerns. I also specialize in concerns that are a result of healthcare diagnoses such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and neurocognitive issues.
