Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Putnam County, IN

I believe that one of the most healing aspects of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client which is one intended to be that of a traveling companion rather than an "expert"-"advice receiver". This is why I tend to pay special attention to the formation and maintenance of that relationship in order to help others explore what matters to them and engage with that in the face of mental health barriers. I have been able to work with individuals that find themselves struggling with lasting impacts of trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal concerns, and life transitions.

Note: Others in my collaborative practice are taking new clients. It is my belief that everyone can benefit from counseling, and it takes a strong person to seek out assistance when needed. I believe we are not made to live in isolation, and we do best when we are part of a community. By recognizing the events that have formed us in life, we can learn from them and become a better version of ourselves. In order for this process to take place, I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment that supports increased insight and growth.

I feel I am most helpful when working with clients who have a sense of where they want their lives to go, who acknowledge the obstacles that confront them, and who are willing to form a collaborative relationship with me to address those challenges and apply the principles and practices that will produce the desired outcomes in their lives.

Hello! I'm Heather Martin, a licensed mental health therapist in Indiana. After 7+ years in community mental health, I now exclusively offer online therapy, with over 2 years of telemedicine experience (video and phone sessions). My extensive background spans diverse clients and disorders, specializing in depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also address life transitions, relationships, self-harm, identity, crises, grief, self-esteem, and offer support to the LGBTQ+ community. From severe mental illnesses to post-hospital care, including suicidal ideation, bipolar, and schizophrenia, I support a wide range of concerns.

I am a LCSW, LCAC and EMDR certified with over 9 years of experience with many success stories such as, helping clients move from despair to freedom to live the life they deserve by conquering demons of addiction and/or trauma, overcoming the fears of anxiety, the stronghold of depression, no longer lost in the fog of dissociation, in self-control and learning to love self for the first time after years of trauma and abuse. I have been blessed when children and spouses of clients have expressed their thanks for helping their loved one get on the right path of recovery from addiction and trauma.

Hi there! I'm Lindsey Saltzman, LSCW, the founder and practitioner of Equinox Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I have worked in the field since 2013 with many different types of clients, however my primary experience has been in crisis intervention and trauma treatment. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and many more methods to help my clients find balance and function better in their daily life. At this time I am accepting Indiana and Kentucky clients on a limited basis after an initial consult.

Do you struggle with symptoms related to trauma from your childhood or as an adult? Do you find yourself constantly on edge or feeling like you have an overwhelming amount of emotions? I believe every person has the power to change their current situation for the better, no matter what obstacles they may be facing. My goal is to collaborate with each person, as each individual is the expert in their own life, to help them develop healthy coping strategies, learn new skills, gain insight, and find purpose and meaning in their life. Therapy is a place to create hope that things can get better, to empower change, and encourage healing.

I specialize in working with women who have experienced trauma, are having relationship issues, or suffer with mood or anxiety disorders, and need help transitioning to a more authentic, enjoyable, & harmonious life; unencumbered by mental health struggles. We will create a warm, positive space where it’s safe to be vulnerable & honest. From there, we co-create a roadmap to address your therapy needs. Together, we will discuss your self-identity and core beliefs, how these formed, and how they help or hold you back. We will explore new coping skills and new narratives as we move through therapy. We work in session to heal.

Counseling can be intimidating, but I want to foster a safe, compassionate, and empathetic place where you can talk about the things you don’t know how to talk about. As a therapist, I seek to create a space for your true self to shine through as we work together to confront the challenges, insecurities, and past traumas you carry, and to ultimately find healing. At this stage as you consider therapy and seek to find the right fit, I want to encourage you by simply saying that you are enough. You do not have to be more than who you are. And who you are is worthy of love, of care, and of mental and emotional health.

We all need to explore our fears, insecurities and those places of which we are not proud. My wish is to provide a safe place to allow individuals, families, or couples to explore those vulnerable places and begin healing. I have experience working with CPTSD and PTSD. I am trauma trained in EMDR and TFCBT. I chose to be a therapist to help clients understand that they are valued, and they can accept themselves, flaws and all. I am transparent in the active healing research-based approach I use in sessions. I want to empower clients to increase coping skills as well as engage in healthy relationships.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. As you can see, I have been helping people deal with problems/issues and find solutions for over 25 years. I am passionate about my work and I have experience with a variety of conditions including addiction, anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, family problems and more. If you are interested in a holistic, caring approach to help you deal with your struggles, I am available to help.

My name is Kimberly Beck and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been providing therapy for nearly 20 years. Though I work with many diagnoses, I most often treat adult female survivors of trauma. I enjoy addressing women's issues with a gender specific and holistic approach. I believe in collaborative work with clients where we are partners in your healing process. I consider you the expert because no one knows you like you do. Some of my preferred interventions include CBT, Schema Therapy. Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR.

I've worked with individuals who have struggled with trauma, anxiety, depression, life stressors, and self-esteem issues. I believe that we all have the ability to change. We just need the right tools to do so. My goal is to help you identify the areas in your life that prolong these struggles. Then, equip yourself with the lifelong tools that aid you in identifying and overcoming problematic thinking, a rigid belief system that could be holding you back, and understanding your emotions and how they affect everything around you.
