Psychodynamic Therapists in 47408

I am only offering telehealth (video and/or phone) services at this time. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience treating a wide variety of concerns. These include depression, anxiety, mild to moderate disordered eating, identity issues (LGBTQ+), and difficulties in relationships among others. Prior to March 2023, I served as Director of Indiana University's Counseling and Psychological Services before moving into private practice full-time.

I help clients build insight about the barriers keeping them from the life and connection they desire while also developing the tools necessary to make empowered and lasting change. My supportive yet direct style is authentic and compassionate while also being appropriately challenging — creating space for the self-exploration that allows clients to build positive internal & external relationships and experience foundational healing. This collaborative process deepens clients' self-understanding in order to connect them with their own wisdom and ability to navigate life's many challenges and maintain meaningful connections.

We are accepting new clients! We are a dedicated group of mental health therapists who provide the highest level of services. We have decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Our main focus is the care of our clients. We take our time to truly understand what you are experiencing. Through this process, we will also work to help you to notice your feelings and reactions, develop your voice, and when appropriate, share this with key people in your life.

I provide short and long term therapy for adults and adolescents while providing a warm, safe, and compassionate environment where my main focus is helping you create and maintain a meaningful and healthy outlook on your own life. I fully believe you are the expert at your own experience, and I am here to help put pieces together, encourage personal growth, and help with coping or adapting to whatever issues are present. I utilize an integrative and strengths based approach with a belief that understanding where our problems and patterns have resonated can help with changing our behaviors and outlook on life.

As a counselor, I am committed to being present, open, and accepting with you. Much of my practice consists of helping clients heal from trauma and/or substance use. I also work with professionals who are over-stressed or who are adjusting to life with a mental illness or psychological injury.

Welcome! Is it important to you to work through a difficult issue? It can be painful and unnecessary to do so alone. I invite you to contact me. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified EMDR therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. The basis of my practice is developing a supportive, safe and collaborative relationship with you while helping you access your inner resources. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and faiths. Issues commonly addressed includes trauma, college student concerns, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues.

Sometimes life confronts us with experiences that are disruptive personally or in our relationships resulting in feelings of depression, anxiety, or loss. While these feelings are normal, they can present challenges in terms of maintaining our sense of well-being and our ability to function well in our daily lives. In my view, the purpose of therapy is to help clients understand the source of disruptions, help them learn strategies for coping with and working-through difficult emotions, and become aware of triggering experiences. In this way, clients can learn how to repair disruptions and thereby restore their sense of well-being.
