Teletherapy for Indiana

Have you ever wondered, "Who am I? Whose life is this?" Have you asked yourself, "What is my purpose?" These are questions I love exploring with clients, whether individually, within a relationship, or with entire families. These questions can leave you feeling lost or hopeless, and miserable. But change is possible. Perhaps counseling hasn't worked in the past. Hypnotherapy or holistic wellness may be another option in your search for yourself.

If you overthink things, worry excessively, get easily overwhelmed, and struggle to relax, I understand what you are going through. The racing thoughts, shakiness, pounding heart, upset stomach, & sleepless nights can make it difficult to function. You want peace, but feeling calm can be a challenge because the anxiety makes you feel like you are losing control. Your quest for relief has possibly resulted in unhealthy behaviors & you long to find better ways to cope. Evidenced-based therapies can help, and I would love to show you how.

Accepting new clients 3/4/24. If we don't have relationships in this life, then what do we have? Relationships: that's what it is all about. When life is full of stress, arguments, chaos, pain, and hurt, our relationships struggle. We then feel very bad about ourselves and are often miserable! I can help guide you back to those quality relationships you used to have. Imagine a life filled with much more relaxation and happiness.

One of the most difficult things we can experience is in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you feel lost, confused, or broken - that some part of you is missing, and the daily struggle to keep it together for yourself or your loved ones feels impossibly overwhelming. Maintaining the obligations of family, work, and friendships can be so exhausting that it seems easier to avoid them altogether. Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but thought it was too expensive, time consuming, or worry you might be seen as "weak." But how would it feel to find yourself again? To stop, catch your breath, and learn to find peace among the chaos?

Taking new clients at this time! If I asked you to name all the things in life you loved; how long would it take you to name yourself? Through my extensive experience working in mental health, I've adopted a style of therapy that is both direct, empowering and supportive. My experience allows for me to be flexible in my treatment approach, ensuring that I am providing counseling services that are individualized to meet your needs. My therapy strengths are in treating trauma/complex trauma, anxiety disorders, and depression. I am a certified EMDR therapist. I am now offering EMDR Intensives.

I have been working with Adults, Adolescents, Couples and Families for 20 years. I work with my clients to address any issues associated with depression, anxiety, bi-polar, personality disorders, trauma and addiction. I enjoy helping my patients identify the core issues that they want to address and develop skills and tools to help them successfully navigate through them for the rest of their life.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted... or alone.

Do you know when two people who really love each other have a breakdown in communication over time? Can that be you? You end up forgetting what brought you together in the first place. I see African American married and unmarried couples who are searching for ways to communicate love again. As a Solution Focused Brief and Biblical Marriage Coach, I help you rediscover what's possible rather than re-hash what is wrong. I partner with you to be the best versions of yourselves for each other, your family and your community.

As a counselor, I've come to learn and deeply believe that "healing" isn't about erasing our pain and avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable—it's learning to transform our relationship to our pain, and finding new ways to interact with this challenging, unpredictable world we're all part of. Whether it's navigating burnout and overwhelm, trying to move forward from trauma, or learning how to love and be loved more deeply, I believe we're all just trying to do our best with what we've got, and that the right set of helping hands at just the right time can make a whole world of difference.

I believe that in order to be happy and healthy, we must nourish the whole person. As you begin your journey towards healing, I recognize the great courage it takes to seek help. My goal is to help you discover your true potential and form healthy relationships along the way. I strongly believe that each of us holds the power to change and create the life that we desire. You may feel stuck, not know exactly where to go for help, who the best person would be to talk to, or what to expect from therapy. These are normal questions and concerns. I want to assure you...You are at the right place!

You want to try therapy one day and the next day you feel like you can handle it alone. You want to feel happy but cannot imagine what that would look like for you. You want be a better partner, friend, family member, employee, and over person. You want closer because whatever "it" is continues to go through your mind. You want to find peace in your life but don't know where to start. I provide a listening ear, comfort, systematic feedback, education, and over time, our collaborative work will help you meet your goals. We will work well together if you are motivated, teachable, and open minded.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have extensive experience working with teens, adults and elders. I work with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, self- esteem issues, women’s issues, communication skills among other disorders. I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Working with several local community mental health centers have provided me with a strong foundation to work with a variety of client populations including outpatient therapy, inpatient psych, and chemical dependency and addictions. I have also spent a year working in residential treatment.

I work with artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, clergy, students, other therapists, professionals and anyone trying to carry the demands of modern life and maintain their humanity. I help clients live creatively, identifying their core values and exploring new ways of knowing themselves and their most intimate relationships. Some of my clients have come from high control relationships or religious dynamics and are working to connect with a stronger, more essential self. Some are going through life transitions that have stirred up unfelt emotions and exposed patterns of relating that no longer serve them.

My clients are often struggling with excessive stress, or anxiety and depression, and can be triggered by past traumas. Many are experiencing oppression, discrimination, prejudice, or stigma. They want a better quality of life, for themselves and for their children or loved ones. My clients are often looking for inner peace and happiness to fully enjoy themselves and to enjoy interacting with others in situations or environments, such as work, school and home. It’s finding resilience, for example through newly learned skills and insights, or a spiritual journey of meditation/prayer, as examples, that allow a better quality of life.

Couple's counseling and sexual health is my passion. Infidelity, cheating, and emotional affairs. Lack of sexual desire. Communication, loss of connection, and healing old hurts and resentments are common issues addressed in my practice. I'd love to meet you (I do see individuals), or you and your partner (same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, polyamorous couples). You can schedule with me directly online from my webpage: micheleomara.com

You are worthy of peace and joy! If you are tired of feeling stuck, distracted, or minimizing yourself and thinking of all the things you should be doing or unsure where to start....stop "should-ing" on yourself! Depression, grief, anger and anxiety are normal human emotions. However, with most things in life, it’s all about balance and moderation. Sometimes things from the past, fears of the future's uncertainty or the way we are wired creates patterns that interfere with living a more meaningful, joyful, and peaceful life- one that includes connecting with the healing powers already within you!

You are the expert on you, & I have the know-how, so as a team, you & I will get you to achieve your goals & more life satisfaction. Do you have trauma from childhood, the military, racism/discrimination, natural disaster, DV, sexual assault, etc. to overcome? Do you struggle with alcohol, meth, pills, cocaine, etc. or maybe video games, love/relationships, porn, etc.? Identity problems? Are you a yes-person that's sick of being walked on? Do you need to learn to control depression, anxiety, bipolar, OCD, or personality stuff? How about self-esteem problems? Whatever it is, we got this! Please visit www.myhlibrary.com for more info.

COUPLES, ADULTS, & THERAPISTS: Are you struggling feeling overwhelmed with life? Worried about the future and what’s going to happen? Do you ever feel like your thoughts just won’t quit? Do you have little to no motivation to do anything? Are you feeling burnt out and tired all the time? Has there been infidelity in your relationship, and you’re trying to work through it? Are you worried you won’t be able to trust your partner again? Are you having trouble connecting with each other? Do you feel hopeless in how to mend the breaks in your relationship?

As a therapist, I partner with the person I am working with and we collaboratively explore options that may fit your needs and bring you where you want to be, and how you want to be in your life. I am available for TeleHealth Sessions throughout Colorado.

I use Brainspotting, talk therapies, and a variety of other treatment methods like CBT, MI, & DBT.
