Teletherapy for Indiana

My name is Samantha Wright-Cooksey, MSW, LCSW. I have been a therapist for over 20 years with combined experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I have provided professional services in outpatient, home, community and school-based settings. I have worked in addictions as well as end of life issues. I utilize strength-based and solution focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and problem solving skills training. I offer in person and telehealth options for therapy. I accept most insurance, EAP, and self pay options.

Your anxiety could be keeping you from being the person you want to be. Most of the time you feel like you're on autopilot, making the motions of life, without really living. You might have a hard time making friends, saying no, or doing things that seem so easy for others. Maybe you force yourself to drive, go to the store, or return calls, but you're miserable the whole time. Communication feels impossible. You're sick of snapping at everyone and feeling guilty. But it feels like nobody listens unless you yell, then the yelling just reinforces all the negative thoughts you had about yourself to begin with.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. By using Cognitive Processing Therapy and Exposure Therapy, I treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have knowledge working with individuals that have experienced traumas related to military, sexual trauma, and stressful events such as COVID-19. I also have expertise with using Parent Child Interaction Therapy to work with parents of children with emotional and behavior issues. I assist with helping you bond, cope and have more confidence as a parent.

My theoretical approach is client-centered in providing a laid back, safe, and non-judgmental atmosphere. I utilize evidence-based practices to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients. My approach is collaborative in identifying goals and addressing them using strategies that work best for you. Collaboration plays an important role as we work together to increase awareness, communication, personal growth, and healing within yourself and your relationships. I believe it is important to focus on my client’s strengths to assist them in identifying coping strategies to address cognitive distortions and negative behaviors.

As a psychologist, I thrive on challenges. I specialize in comprehensive and court-ordered psychological assessments for juveniles and adults. I have many years of experience testifying in court. My forensic referrals come from judges, private attorneys, public defenders, and State and Federal Public Defenders across Indiana and include competency or insanity assessments, juvenile waiver, sex offender risk assessments, child hearsay, and post-conviction relief. Additionally, after many years working in residential treatment, I have developed expertise with children/adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral disturbances.

I work to help clients find their answers as they gain self-advocacy skills, affirm boundaries, and increase resiliency. I work with teens, children, and women in a private practice setting assuring both a confidential and supportive atmosphere.

Accomplishing our goals and dreams begins with believing in our value and worth. Easier said than done right?

You are capable of living a happy and content life. You are capable of having the career or relationships you dream of. It would be my pleasure to help you build that life and heal the parts that may be holding you back. Through compassionate, collaborative, and personalized therapy, lets work on becoming the person I know you can be.

I have a unique understanding of racial traumas, college life struggles, and coping with low self-esteem. It is my mission to create a space for everyone to feel comfortable. I understand it can be difficult to feel certain about talking to someone, but I am committed to providing a supportive environment. Gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality should not be a barrier to getting compassionate care.
