Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 46143

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.

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.

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

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.

Navigating life’s challenges can be difficult at times. Are you in search of a safe confidential space to sort out these challenges with someone that you can trust? I strive to establish a comfortable environment where each person feels supported to become the best version of themselves. We can work together using your existing strengths. I have been in the field for the last 19 years providing therapeutic services primarily in a community mental health setting.

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.

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 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.

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.

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here! My unique experience as an educator and school counselor allows me to best serve children, teens, and young adults on a variety of issues.

Our approach is to view the work of counseling as a dynamic process in which counselor and client work together towards helping the client better understand and cope with the problems of day-to-day living, and to connect with those inner resources and strengths that will lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Coming to counseling is no easy feat, and finding the right counselor can seem daunting. Life experience has helped me to understand this firsthand and is what drives my work as a counselor. It is my hope that through the process of building the therapeutic relationship, I can offer clients treatment modalities that are tailored to their needs. I value the counseling relationship and desire to practice with a client-centered approach. I have experience working with families, specifically with children and adolescent clients. My clinical passions include working with those struggling with difficult emotions and complicated grief.

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.

Have you ever considered therapy, but just weren't able to take the leap? I get it. Taking the first step is hard. Welcome to my practice, where we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I offer both telehealth and in-person therapy sessions to accommodate your needs and preferences. Whether you're seeking guidance from the comfort of your home or prefer face-to-face interaction, I'm here to support you. Through a secure online platform, we can connect for therapy sessions from anywhere you feel most comfortable. I have a holistic, individualized approach to care and specialize in working with adults and couples.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.
