Teletherapy for Indiana

The word psychotherapist is greek and means "Healer of the Soul". When you come into my office, I will not label you with anxiety, depression, addiction or any other disorder. You will hear me ask questions like: How is your addiction protecting you from pain? What do you not feel when depression numbs you? Once you witness and heal the wounds of your soul (you can also call it trauma), the symptoms (the 'disorder') can disappear. If you are interested in having a deeper understanding and awareness of your emotions, I will help you to develop a relationship with yourself that is characterized by curiosity, respect and compassion.

I help people heal from emotional wounds; cultivate resiliency; and promote mental wellness. I'm availaable at Anam Cara Counseling and horse farm in the peaceful countryside of Rolling Prairie/La Porte. I provide traditional talk therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and/or Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. This is a powerful and highly effective form of therapy where you will interact with horses for personal insight and behavior change. There is no riding involved; and no horse experience is needed.

At this time, "limited daytime availability only" until May 3, 2024 for new client appointments, where it will then open up. Currently, no evening or after school availability at this time.

We all have innate wisdom about what is best for us but may struggle to believe this about ourselves. Your mind may be loud and chaotic, you might struggle with anger and life changes. Trauma may have damaged your view of yourself. I strive to create a safe environment in which you can be curious about the relationship between your inner and outer worlds, and how they relate. Through curiosity, I hope to show you that there are no “bad parts" of you, just parts that may no longer serve you. I'll guide you to connect mind/body to navigate old and new thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

Hi, I'm Michele. I'm glad you're here. I know how a situation, involving yourself or a loved one, can consume your life. I became a therapist because I've experienced similar circumstances. Those moments have led me to be an empathetic and effective counselor. We will take things at your pace. This is your time, and we will work together to find healing and growth.
