Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Hi, I am Jamarra! Are you struggling with maintaining the relationships in your life? Are you seeking to find peace? Striving to enter an era of healing in your life? Looking to improve your self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-awareness? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and/or sad? Struggling to make it through the day, and feeling as if there are not enough hours in a day? I would love to work with you!

I work with a variety of individuals, couples, and families dealing with such problems as anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship difficulties. One of my special interests is assisting clients with improving their decision-making in important life areas. Recently I published a book on judgment and ways to enhance it. I am also experienced in providing psychological evaluations for assessment of attention deficit disorders, fitness for bariatric surgery, and court-related issues. I look forward to helping others explore strategies to enhance well-being and lead more fulfilling lives.

Life can be difficult to deal with. Issues from our past or on-going relationship problems can cause us considerable stress. Issues of shame and guilt can make us to feel depressed and anxious and keep us from living to our fullest potential. If you relate to this, I would like the opportunity to help and empower you and/or your family to overcome these obstacles.

I am a licensed therapist with a Masters in Social Work. My degree has given me the fundamentals necessary to embark on the journey of becoming a licensed mental health therapist. It has helped me learn to identify what people think and how they react to different situations. It also helped me to recognize the appropriate way of dealing with people and helping them without making them feel uncomfortable. Making sure my client’s understand their own problems properly while involving them in preparation for a plan of action is a goal I as a therapist strive for.

I have worked with individual men and women dealing with a wide range of struggles. Some of the struggles that I have helped clients with include depression, anxiety, addiction to multiple different substances, borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders, and co-dependency. I also have a lot of experience working with couples as well. I have helped couples work through and heal from infidelity, addiction to various substances, conflict management, and improving communication skills.

Are sexual issues causing distress in your life? As one of just a few sex therapists certified by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) in Indiana, I have trained extensively in issues related to sexuality. Common problems include those related to sexual functioning (desire, arousal, orgasm), compulsive sexual behavior, intimacy concerns, sexual orientation struggles, and transgender issues. My training is as a Clinical Psychologist first, with specializations in areas of sexual and behavioral health. Preemptive therapy, to explore interpersonal and interpersonal issues before they become too problematic, is also a service I offer.

My therapeutic focus is on helping clients identify and take responsibility for addressing issues ranging from minor life adjustment problems to serious mental health conditions based in brain chemistry deficits. Licensed as a clinical social worker since 1993, I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1979 in a variety of mental health and addictions-focused settings, including inpatient/hospital, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and educational programs. I also have an LMHC and an LCAC. I consider it an honor to work with clients courageous enough to ask for and accept help in meeting life's challenges.

I have a heart for working with the victims of personality disorders. I am educated in sexual, physical, emotional, and mental abuse. I would love to walk through the healing damage of the toxicity of the cycle of abuse. I would love to educate clients on gaslighting, manipulation, deflection, and defense along with what are red flags and ghosting. Guiding Clients gently into seeing their own worth and learning their true identity. Clients will gain an understanding in healthy boundaries for themselves and others.

We are living in some very difficult times. At times it's hard to take it all in and find healthy ways to cope. My hope is that I'll be able to join you on your journey of healing by using therapeutic interventions and skill building. I will use a variety of therapeutic interventions (CBT, REBT, DBT) to help you understand how negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked. I use TF-CBT and EMDR to work specifically with those who struggle with complex trauma. My areas of specialty are Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Addictions, Sexual Abuse or Sexual Maladaptive Behaviors, Mood and Personality Disorders, and Hoarding,

I have always had a desire for understanding feelings and behaviors as well as to assist individuals with understanding their own feelings and behaviors. Many clients want to understand why they struggle with certain disorders, or even how they can even begin to move forward.

We all feel a little lost at times. This can have a negative impact on our relationships & individual lives. The ability to reflect & be comfortable in sharing the most intimate details about your life is not an easy task. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to share their stories & work on how to manage them moving forward by using a conversational partnership. What if you were given the opportunity to make positive changes in your life or relationship before it became a crisis? Having tools to draw upon during challenging times can make a difference in how we navigate the anxiety & stress in our lives.

I have been in the fields of mental health and substance abuse for over 20 years. I enjoy working with all populations. In trying to navigate through substance abuse and mental health issues, there are many factors that envelope a person's ability to cope with life. I understand that asking for help can be difficult and identifying a need for change can induce some fears. I can help you identify any changes that are needed and offer encouragement and support through your journey of self preservation.

I am currently accepting new clients. Depression, anxiety, divorce, men's Issues, addictions, couples counseling, anxiety, and codependency are my specialties. As a husband, father of four in a blended family, and grandfather of four active grandchildren, I understand how stressful life can be. Sometimes it seems like you have tried everything and you still can't seem to find the strength to make it one more day. Just when you think you have a few things figured out, people change, you get a new boss, your children begin struggling in school or you may discover something new about yourself that seems to make matters worse.

Sometimes we get stuck and feel trapped by our experiences related to substance use, addictive thinking, trauma, anxiety, depression and other addictive or high risk behaviors. If this sounds like you, I would like to help you manage these experiences and empower you to break through the challenges associated with your personal experience. I would like the opportunity to help you build up and enhance your strengths, minimize and plan for your limitations, and give you hope and opportunities to make the changes you desire.
