Infidelity Therapists in Greenfield, IN

Counseling can be intimidating, but I want to foster a safe, compassionate, and empathetic place where you can talk about the things you don’t know how to talk about. As a therapist, I seek to create a space for your true self to shine through as we work together to confront the challenges, insecurities, and past traumas you carry, and to ultimately find healing. At this stage as you consider therapy and seek to find the right fit, I want to encourage you by simply saying that you are enough. You do not have to be more than who you are. And who you are is worthy of love, of care, and of mental and emotional health.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Bible and Religion from Anderson University. I completed my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Additionally, I have post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have worked in residential facilities for at-risk youth, schools, prisons, churches and private practices.

My expertise is in treating mental health and substance use concerns in a holistic and confidential manner. I know issues with trauma, anxiety and more can impact EVERY aspect of our lives and I am passionate about helping people lessen that negative impact. I'm skilled at providing a comfortable, social atmosphere to explore issues. I focus on 'the real shit' with a strong dose of humor and provide each person I see with an individualized and evidence based plan particularly suited for their own healing and recovery. We have survived 100% of our worst days. We've got this one.

You're likely here because you are seeking change in some area of your life. You've likely found my profile due to some discord in your relationship(s) you hope to resolve. I'm Chelsea Summerlot. My passion is to help relationships thrive with mutual respect, honest and open communication, and learning more about your loved one. Whether in your relationship with yourself or with another, I am here to journey alongside you in building a strong foundation from which your life can grow.

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults, as well as LGBTQ+ matters of all ages. I address issues such as anxiety and depression, life transitions, and substance abuse. I work with families on communication and focus on the family's overall happiness and how that can be achieved. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment in order to help you meet your goals.

You have been searching for counseling which means you are searching for a way to address some issues you have already identified are there. You have taken the first step and you should feel proud of yourself for being here! I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and I hold a license as a LCSW. I work from a strengths-based, solutions-focused, client-centered approach. Meaning that I firmly believe in the capacity for individuals to solve their own problems - they just may need a little push and direction in seeing the goals and how to obtain them.

The reward of therapy is profound and enduring. It is the gift of self-discovery, resilience, and an enriched understanding of the human experience. One of the greatest aspects of therapy is the gradual realization that healing is not synonymous with erasing scars; rather, it is an acceptance of the scars as integral parts of a unique narrative. Trust in the power within to rewrite your story with resilience and self-compassion. The reward is deeply rooted within!

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Is your family in crisis and don't know where to start? You have already done the hard part by reading this profile. Calling a therapist can be dreadful but I am here to tell you it doesn't have to be. My main goal is to help you and your family get to a place of 'peace.'

Are you on the road of old ways and struggling to open new doors? Let this be the first new door you open. I invite you to pull up a chair to chat and give yourself permission to focus on yourself and your needs. This may be something you do regularly or something you are utterly uncomfortable with due to its unfamiliarity. Change. That's what this is all about. Whether it's us, our situation, our relationships, or our reactions. Something has to change, am I right? The only difference between where we are and where we want to be is the step we have yet to take. Here's that first step, ready to take it?

Therapy is an individualized process that requires trust to be established between therapist and client for the greatest amount of efficacy. If you are struggling with issues of stress, depression, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, difficult transitions in your life, I would like to help you explore ways to manage these changes; to achieve a greater sense of balance, wholeness and integration in your life.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life, trying to figure out which direction to take? Maybe you struggle with depression or are experiencing anxiety or uncertainty about your choices or relationships. Perhaps you have past hurts, or had a chaotic family growing up that seems to follow into your current life. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who has provided therapy for over 20 years. Feel free to contact me if you'd like help not only relieving uncomfortable symptoms, but would like to understand and address what dynamics are causing them in the first place.
