Domestic Abuse Therapists in Indiana

Welcome, I am glad you are here! I am an experienced therapist that's willing to listen and validate you. My goal is to have everyone feel welcomed and heard. I am an adolescent and adult certified professional trauma, CSAYC, therapist working with trauma victims from war, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, physical and emotional abuse, individuals fleeing countries, of all ages and backgrounds, using somatic psychology, trauma-focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive trauma therapy, and EMDR tools, family system approach, and client center therapy.

I help them discover their issues, help them see their own values and needs, and guide them in establishing realistic goals. Educating clients is a strong technique I use. You can't know what you don't know, and what you don't know can and will usually hurt you or someone else. Many clients don't know their issues nor the actions/decisions they make that are hurting them or that cause them to make bad choices. Most are missing vital information that they need. I try to learn their value system and provide information from reputable sources that fit them. They often believe that their wants are their needs.

I understand that you are seeking counseling to address some issues you've identified. Congratulations on taking this first step! I have over 20 years of experience in social work and I am a licensed LCSW. In my practice, I focus on strengths, solutions, and centering the client, believing that individuals have the capacity to solve their own problems with some guidance to identify and achieve their goals.

Entering into a counseling relationship can be a scary thing for many people. Some are hesitant about therapy based on past experience. Others are considering therapy for the very first time and really don't know what to expect. My approach to counseling begins with relaxed conversations aimed at establishing mutual trust and confidence. For my part, I pledge to be engaging, empathetic, culturally-sensitive, and client-centered, which includes a healthy amount of active listening. Moving forward, we will work together to identify strengths and skills and create a proactive strategy that is natural, realistic, and practical.

I specialize in working with youth, adults, and families. I have a community based practice and virtual option. I can assist with relationship conflicts, addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, impulse control, and substance abuse. My expertise spans a wide range of treatment types for ages 6 and older. I offer a non-judgmental space focused on your goals and growth. I accept most insurance and self pay. I only offer in person for families and couples. If you're ready for change, contact me to start your journey towards healthier relationships and mental wellness.

I am currently serving as a University Counseling Therapist in the University Counseling Program at Pillars of Wellness. I love working with teenagers and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorder, coping skills, and/or transitions. They need a caring adult in their lives to listen without judgement, help them organize their thoughts and feelings, and set goals. I strive to be the person I needed when I was younger, and to provide excellent care to clients.

Are you a first responder who's work has made you start hating the job? Are you so irritable that you are isolating from friends and family? Are you a trauma survivor who wants to silence the ghosts? At Equinox Counseling and Consulting, LLC, my ambition is to expand mental health services through direct clinical services, community awareness, and education. I focus heavily on trauma services - including EMDR - and accept new clients on a case-by-case basis so I can provide the best care for the clients I serve.

If you’ve been struggling to find a therapist experienced in working with your situation I encourage you to email me. I’m currently taking in-person appointments in Indiana and online in Washington. I specialize in treating trauma, sexual and gender issues and personality disorders. I have 10 years clinical experience serving Greater Lafayette and 15 years total working with individuals and couples of all ages. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist and trained in multiple approaches to treating PTSD. I am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss the best way that we can work together to help you overcome your stress.

Do you want to make positive changes in your life? We all want to achieve, but some have difficulty with juggling everything in life. As a mental health counselor and life coach, I will be your accountability partner, who can help you assess your past, gain clarity for your future, assist in making an action plan, and troubleshoot the pitfalls along the way. I will work with you on managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, finances, career development, time management, and more. I am able to meet with you in person at my office, or online. I am trained in EMDR, and other therapies, and find this helps with many of life's issues.

I’m so thankful you’re here, looking for hope and healing for yourself. The courage you are already showing tells me you’re going to overcome whatever it is that brings you here, and I’m right beside you to root for you and encourage you every step of the way. We are going to focus on your strengths and I’ll teach you tools to get through your days as you regain the peace in your journey. I enjoy working with any age group, including children, and want to welcome you into a safe space, free from judgment and full of hope…and likely some fun and laughs along the way.

I view it as an honor and a privilege to work with those who have the personal courage it takes to make changes in their lives. At any age, we all have potential for growth and change. "Finding the good and building on that" is a philosophy I strongly embrace. I see it as my job to listen carefully to you and then partner with you to help reach your identified goals. Together we can work toward your self-empowerment, rediscover your capacity to make peace with the past, live well in the present, and create the future you desire.

I left my career in the finance industry to pursue my passion for healing and health in 2013. I have a warm and caring personality and am experienced working with individuals, couples, families and children. I use a variety of treatment modalities, but my approach is very client-centered. I often utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to counseling, helping clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and learning which they can control.

I am licensed in Indiana, Maine, and New Jersey with 24 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, & confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, & compassion. I will tailor our dialog & treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage & I am proud of you for getting started!

No one gets to where they are by accident. Sometimes life is hard, things are out of our control, and we need help to make it through or figure out why we do what we do. I meet people where they are and try to help them towards the life that they want to live and achieve their goals. I provide a safe space of non-judgment and acceptance and help clients find this within themselves. I can help you work through your trauma history to live your best life. I also help people with relationship issues decide how they want to show up in the relationship and help them get there. I work with teens, adults, and couples.

In addition to sixteen years as a licensed Christian counselor, I draw on thirty years as a lay counselor in ministry, relying on the Spirit's insight and direction for you. In addition to marriage counseling, I am qualified to counsel for many issues, and especially enjoy helping those that have suffered from life altering abuse as well as helping the abuser that desires to be set free. Directing you to the Word of God, I look forward to seeing you find freedom from hopelessness and despair and will rejoice with you when you begin walking in the victorious life the Lord has planned for you. Available evenings and Saturdays.

My ideal client would be vulnerable yet aware in the beginning. They would be open to learning about therapy options. They would also have many questions, including sharing their fears regarding therapy. My ideal client would also be prepared to complete homework assignments and truly engage in each session. During the therapeutic sessions, I would learn what each emotion looks like for my client and how it impacts their lives. My ideal client's growth is evident in each session that they participate in, and they never give up on them.
