Female Therapists in Bedford, IN

My ideal client is someone who wants to actively pursue new paths to find their true, healthy self. Ideally, ready to do the work. I am here to challenge cognitive distortions. I will be a partner in brainstorming issues and goals. Hard work from the client and support from an intuitive counselor will clear the path to the answers within.

Hi, I am Debby and I am accepting new clients. I work with Individuals, Couples, Families, Adolescents, and children. I provide in-person sessions by appointment only and I provide telehealth to anyone in Indiana by appointment. I have worked as a private practitioner since 1994, before that, I advocated and lobbied for social services for my clients, I ran a BB/BS program for kids, and then went into private practice where I worked in Greenwood, IN, and Bloomington, IN. I bring a variety of skills that provide supportive therapies for my clients. I look forward to working with you on your issues, needs, and goals.

Are your relationships becoming difficult to manage? Are you torn between helping others and helping too much? Do you feel defeated by substance use or poor mental health for yourself or someone you care about? You are not alone. Together, we can develop effective strategies to reverse unhealthy habits and attitudes that contribute to anxiety, depression, poor decision-making, feelings of loss, and hopelessness. Putting yourself first doesn't mean you don't care about others. Self-care is not selfish. It is a way to restore balance. You deserve the opportunity to define for yourself a life of meaning and success.

Hi, I'm Jess Troxel, LCSW! Co-creating a safe space to process the impacts of life situations and traumatic stress is central to my role as a practitioner. Often, the effects of trauma lead to PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, substance misuse, and relational wounds. Additionally, trauma and traumatic stress can make us feel stuck and sometimes as though we continue to live in traumatic times, chronically disconnected from ourselves and others. If you are seeking compassionate, supportive, and value-aligned mental health services reach out to see if we are a good fit.

*Although I am not accepting new clients at this time, I encourage you to continue your search for a helpful counselor. And feel free to check back her--in a few weeks I may have openings again.* A good listener can help you think more clearly, understand yourself better, and explore your options. I listen. Together, we will find solid reasons for hope. When it's time to look for solutions, I will draw upon my years of experience and training to help you craft a plan that is individualized to your strengths, needs and goals.

My approach to therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship which I perceive as the most important factor for change to happen. I use interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my work. My primary area of interest is working with college aged students and young professionals in their early 20s to late 40s who may be experiencing difficulties dealing with the various roles, responsibilities, stressors, and life transitions that come with this particular age group and various life stages.

My philosophy on helping people is that a therapist/counselor is a guide on a journey. While guides often have knowledge the traveler may not, the guide is there to share their knowledge and journey with them on their travels to the goals/destination they seek to reach. It is a collaborative effort that requires effort from both parties to achieve the desired outcome and to navigate the challenges that occur on the journey.
