Person-Centered Therapists in 46062

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.

I have over 16 years of counseling experience specializing in families, couples, and grief. My previous experience in a local mental health center allowed me to see a variety of clients presenting with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? As humans, we all go through personal struggles or conflicts that derail us. I have found that meeting clients where they are at mentally and emotionally, as well as supporting clients through their struggles, have worked best when finding solutions and meeting goals. We all have stories to tell, to process, and to work through. Its important to find a safe person and safe place to do just that.

Hello and welcome! I feel honored to walk alongside others to provide comfort and support during difficult or overwhelming times in life. People have done that for me, and it has been instrumental in my life. We are not meant to live this life on our own, and if I can help shoulder some of the burden you may be carrying then I count myself blessed. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a variety of mental health needs. I specialize in treating individuals for anxiety, problematic thinking patterns, depression, life transitions and PTSD.

I love working with individuals that wish to take action to improve themselves. Regardless of their mental health concerns or the catalyst that led to change. If you are feeling lost or unsure where to go, having a guide can help with that. If you are feeling anxious, worried, or feel as though you need to do some general processing, you don’t have to do it alone. Once we work through whatever is holding you down, you may be surprised with how free you will feel.

When we experience things such as anxiety, depression, or a traumatic event, these things do tend to weigh us down and keep us from living the life we truly want. Although we want to see ourselves at our best, we may be ignoring the issues that are keeping us from that reality altogether. Therapy helps us work through those subconscious road blocks that are affecting us even in the most subtle ways. By using different modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused therapy, I collaborate with clients and couples by working through the blind spots of our mind together.

I completed my master's degree in Clinical Addictions Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University. My undergraduate degree is from Indiana University East in Psychology and human services. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of mental health challenges. My experience has been in addictions counseling, crisis counseling, and intervention.

Life is full of obstacles, challenges, stressors, and adjustments, but you do not need to face them alone. If you are struggling with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, mood variability, stress, or relational difficulties, this can be confusing, overwhelming, and isolating. Therapy can help navigate through the gray areas and improve how you manage difficulties. If you are looking to receive support, resolve the past, increase insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors or develop effective coping skills, then therapy might be for you.

We don’t know what we don’t know, and sometimes, we need a little help with navigating the unknown. We can find ourselves in foreign territory, struggling to manage difficult emotions, and possibly not having the tools to get through it all by ourselves. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked in many treatment settings throughout the years, helping teens and adults “move through the tough stuff." I wholeheartedly believe we all go through it and we all need help. My areas of expertise are helping with addictions and mood disorders, but my work has not been limited to these.

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.

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.

Scheduling new appts in April. We all consider therapy for different reasons, but when we book the appointment and then actually show up, it’s because we hold a tiny bit of hope that talking to a therapist might help. If you are trying therapy for the first time or returning to foster greater self awareness, improved emotional regulation, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, I offer you space to explore that and the many other thoughts and feelings that show up during our lives. If your experience is related to pregnancy, infertility, or pregnancy loss, I am specialized to provide support in those areas.

You experience feeling lost, overwhelmed and anxious. You wonder why others seem to “have it together,” when your life seems hard and exhausting. You want to feel connected to yourself and your loved ones again, to have energy, and to experience a joy-filled life. Furthermore, you want to stop putting on a happy face for others and really laugh. You want to transform your life, but are unsure of what the next step should be? Working together we will find the reason you are feeling this way and address those reasons getting you back to the place of true joy.

Hello! Are you wanting to start or continue the journey of self-exploration? Are you struggling with an issue and not sure the way forward? A lot of us out there don't feel like we can ask for or accept help, and we need to change the framework around this. Everyone is deserving of help and should get it when needed. Heck, we need it sometimes to get back up. Taking care of our mental health is pivotal to our happiness, growth, and success. My areas of expertise have been addictions/substance use, anxiety, depression, and men's issues.

I am motivated by a genuine curiosity to understand each person's unique perspective, and I believed that successful therapy begins with providing individuals a space to be authentic and vulnerable. I view counseling as a conversation about your story, a process to empower you to make meaning of your experiences, challenges and ambitions. I believe that all clients have the capacity for self-discovery and problem solving. Therefore, I work collaboratively with adolescents and adults to improve emotional control, develop self-acceptance, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.

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.

I am passionate about supporting black men, women, and couples on their healing journeys. I specialize in addressing the unique challenges of men and women by providing a safe space for exploration and growth, with the overarching goal of helping US navigate issues such as identity, relationships, grief, transitions, and more. I enjoy helping married and non-married couples build love maps, establish trust, build a communication fortress, and create shared meaning. My position as a therapist involves fostering self-awareness, and empowering clients to develop effective problem-solving skills.

Therapy can be enjoyable. It can leave you feeling better. Therapy here is not as usual, in that it involves questions that you have never heard before. Questions that open up a conversation to bring your best self forward and allow you to discover your answers from within. This conversation helps you discover what is important to you, who you want to be, and the impact you would like to make. Once you find the reason to make the changes you seek, you can realize how to get it done. This happens through language, not labels - possibilities not problems.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. This statement could not be a more perfect example of how I view this thing called life. I believe that my role is to help guide you in becoming more aware of any barriers that may be in the way of allowing for change and growth. I come from a holistic frame of mind and believe that one can regain balance of mind, body, and soul with just being open to the idea and process of change. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Equine Facilitated Learning sessions and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions through Strides to Success as a way to support a more holistic healing.
