Teletherapy for Noblesville, IN

Are you struggling to find meaning and satisfaction in your life? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Throughout my career I have worked in several different levels of care and have extensive training treating addiction and mood disorders. My personal journey in long term recovery as well as professional career has been focused on assisting people to shift from a sense of powerlessness to deep personal empowerment. My clients are typically struggling with addictions, life changes, relationship difficulties, personal growth, or want to enhance and lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I work with kids and adults from all over the world, and use an integrative approach to counseling, as I don't believe that one-size-fits-all in therapy. I am passionate about helping expat adults and third culture kids (TCK's) as they live in new cultures and navigate all that entails. I also enjoy working with international clients, specifically Arab clients, and have a good understanding of the culture and traditions. I am EMDR Trained (Level 2), trauma informed, adoption informed, I coach parents of kids with an FASD and use mindfulness, self-compassion, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT & REBT), and person-centered approaches.

Despite having stressful experiences, you are high-functioning. You go to work, you pay your bills, you have meaningful relationships, and on paper, you seem 'fine' from the outside. Inside, you are thinking of the worst case scenario or experiencing an overwhelming amount of thoughts and feelings that "just won't go away". You don't feel great, have unprocessed trauma, and you want to start feeling better. You want to move beyond tolerating trauma and stress, and feel good emotionally and physically. From a nervous system perspective using trauma-therapies I want to empower you in your healing, I know you can feel better.

As a practicing counselor for 15 years, I have been able to walk alongside many individuals and couples as they move towards healing in different areas of their lives. Life can be overwhelming and extra support is so valuable in our lives. My hope is that clients walk away with more insight, tools, and hope. I want each client to come out of our therapy time together with added value and tangible steps for integrating insights and creating change. At Reclaimed Counseling we have 4 counselors with varying specialties to meet the needs of our community.

I believe that every human is inherently good and worthy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I am here to help you rediscover the goodness inside of you. I work with women and couples to help them get to know the important parts of themselves and how those parts might be making it difficult for them to be their truest selves.

I welcome you, with warmth, to my practice! I help clients to be at ease in therapy, and offer compassionate care crafted by 25 years of private practice experience with individual adults, couples, families, adolescents— including experience in working with multicultural persons, ethnic minority clients, and LGBTQ clients. Creating a space of care and respect for you and your unique journey, I carefully match your needs and personality style to evidence-based practice. ​My passion is helping you move forward. Often, we need to reclaim a healthy space after suffering from depression, anxiety or trauma.

Life can often feel like a roller coaster. The pressure to perform in various areas of life can feel heavy and difficult. We all have personal and relational things impacting our lives no matter what stage of life we are in. I understand that it's difficult to ask for help and yet I know from personal experience the first step toward healing can be reaching out to someone who is able and willing to listen and walk the journey with you for a time.

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have worked in multiple school districts and home-based settings with children, adolescents, and families. Additionally, I have experience working with a variety of clients, specializing in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, executive functioning skills, relational issues, and personal growth.

Life can be difficult. A marriage that's just okay. A chronic illness that has stolen the life you thought you would live. A shining star in your sport now succumbing to anxiety and doubt. You don't know who you are anymore and what purpose you have. You want to be able to see the good in life and not dwell on the negative. You want a significant marriage or relationship. You know you have what it takes to be the best in your sport “if only”. You're ready to LIVE and learn how to find purpose in your suffering. You want hope. You want to understand YOU better and in return have more fulfilling relationships.

Therapy is an opportunity to change yourself and your life, making both more functional and enjoyable. If you are someone who wants to address mood, trauma, loss, relationships, neurological or self-related issues, Wildflowers Counseling is a good fit. I try to offer a safe, judgement-free zone to explore concerns and develop healthy coping skills. I strive to provide quality care with a focus on individual needs/goals. Sessions provide interaction with Georgia, the therapy dog. She adds a unique quality to therapy. Check out G's picture in another section of my profile. We look forward to meeting you.

I explain to my clients that the hardest work they will do will be outside of the counseling office. Changing behaviors and ways of thinking can be the most difficult challenge when you feel stuck. I'm here to help individuals and couples improve communication and engage in healthier coping skills.

Hi. I’m Ruby, and I would be honored to work with you as your therapist. When we meet, you’ll experience someone who genuinely cares and is dedicated to helping you confront the problems in your life as you make your way towards positive, lasting change. We will identify your potential for growth and challenge the beliefs and behaviors that keep you from experiencing happiness, harmony, and health.

My clients are typically adoptees and/or their adoptive or birth families. I also see women who are struggling with burnout. Adoption is a life-long process that can create many challenges for adoptees. I “get it” on a level most therapists can’t because as an adoptee myself, I’ve also experienced those losses and the questions that come with them. I am in reunion and have been since I was 18. This has been a largely positive experience but has had emotional ups and downs through the years.

Have you been feeling down, anxious, experiencing low motivation, having trouble sleeping or are you going through a rough time? Do you feel like the harder you try, the more things go wrong? Life has a way of throwing many challenges at us, sometimes all at once. These challenges can impact the way our mind and body function, in ways we may not have even known were possible. The use of Mind and Body Medicine can offer many techniques to reprogram the body and brain to heal from the long term and short term effects of stress. A combination of breath, movement and meditation can reverse these effects and can be used to heal anyone.

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?

Do others tell you you're too sensitive? Do you expect yourself to be perfect? Do you use substances or engage in compulsive behaviors to make yourself feel better? So many of us were raised in homes where we were not given the nurturance, guidance, or protection we needed as children. Even if there was no physical or sexual abuse, we may have been raised in ways that did not create the solid, secure foundations we needed to become confident, joyful adults. Please hear me: There is nothing wrong with you. You are resilient and developed amazing, creative ways to survive.

Compassionate Roots was made for those of us that are a little awkward, quirky and anxious. Do you want to pursue therapy but fear being judged? Are you highly sensitive and empathetic? Do you want to incorporate nature into your wellness? Welcome, you just found your safe place! My approach and motto are simple - everyone deserves a compassionate, and judgement free environment to heal and grow. I have a warm and interactive approach. My priority as your therapist is that you feel safe, heard, and that you feel comfortable as your authentic self. Therapy should not feel stuffy or tense!

Would you like to thrive in your life, rather than just do your best to survive? I believe that most people routinely tolerate high levels of stress and begin to feel hopeless for far too long before they reach out for support. You could struggle from a change in sleep patterns, feeling overwhelmed, increased anxiety, fighting with family and friends, irritability most days, and feeling disconnected or unhappy with your life. In fact, many people try to survive life this way. I believe that even one of these symptoms is enough reason to seek support.

Are you ready to make a change? I'm Cheri Counterman, LCSW. I've been working as a therapist and medical social worker for over a decade. I've worked with clients who have had a wide range of concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, and many more. For therapeutic modalities, I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) but also utilize other forms of therapy like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and MI (Motivational Interviewing). I am passionate about learning new therapeutic skills and attend yearly trainings to stay on top of new evidence-based therapies.
