Therapists in Blackford County, IN

Starting therapy can be a daunting and uncomfortable experience. However, I believe that therapy can be different. I provide a safe and empathetic space where we can use humor, art, and other outlets to process your past and work towards a more fulfilling future. You are the expert in your life - not me. Therefore, I believe in letting you define the problem and helping you grow in your skills to manage those concerns.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. Although flexible, I tend to use a combination of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Imagine a life of balance and joy with your family. I work with children, adolescents, and their families to help realize this goal and find real, positive change. You may be noticing behavioral issues with your child, or perhaps you've seen some signs of depression or anxiety. You rightfully want to address your concerns now before they turn into a bigger problem. I offer a safe space and support to walk through whatever challenges you or your child may be facing and to find the joy and peace you're looking for at the end of the tunnel.

As a licensed mental health counselor and EMDR therapist, I have had many opportunities to serve a variety of populations and help clients overcome both personal and professional challenges. I have a passion for helping teens and adults develop coping skills to manage their life stressors. I have had significant therapeutic experience working with clients experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, behavior problems, anger, and grief and loss.

Life can present us with a variety of overwhelming challenges. It takes a great deal of courage and introspection to identify that it may be time to reach out for support, and I’m grateful you have taken the time to begin that exploration for yourself. I believe that humans are capable of growth, change, resiliency, and optimism amidst these difficulties or uncertainties. I specialize in working with adults (18+) across a variety of presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, trauma, substance use, sex-related concerns, relationship problems, and self-esteem.

I offer services for: Individuals, ages 18+, as well as those with court mandated treatment I do not offer: Crisis Coverage or Case Management Services

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.

Have you been struggling with past trauma, current conflict in your life, or feeling overwhelmed with life's demands? Are you ready to heal and become empowered to take the world by storm? At Mindful Solutions Counseling Services we work to address these concerns plus substance use issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and personality disorders (among many others). We currently offer telehealth services which is particularly beneficial to those with busy schedules, or those that have been fearful of coming into an office setting with the current pandemic. All of our services are person centered and tailored to you, our client.

My intention as a holistic therapist is to help facilitate what I believe our purpose here is on earth, which is to become the best versions of ourselves. I help you process and work through traumas, toxic relationships, addictions, and/or poor coping skills that prevent you from becoming your best self. I use a combination of treatment modalities to custom fit your needs. I utilize EMDR, person centered, CBT, DBT, systems and attachment theory to facilitate the healing process. I also incorporate mind, body and spirit modalities to encourage a holistic transformation. I look forward to meeting with you!

I am currently accepting new clients. I am scheduling for late June/early July. I enjoy building trusting and therapeutic relationships with my clients. I am honored each time a person allows me to become a part of their life and the change process. I enjoy working with individuals and families of all different shapes and sizes.

There are many reasons why someone might want to come to therapy. Are you feeling sad, worried, irritable or angry most of the time? Maybe it just feels hard to regulate your mood. You may have experienced trauma. You could be going through a difficult time in your life due to stress, grief or life changes. Your relationships with your friends or responsibilities at school might feel overwhelming or hard to manage. If you're a parent, you might notice these changes in your child or teen. Any of these situations can leave you feeling lonely, stuck or hopeless. I am here to help provide compassion, hope and trauma-informed care.

Beginning counseling takes courage, so I strive to meet my clients where they are by taking a holistic, trauma-informed approach, respecting you as the expert of your journey. I find value in collaboratively exploring the different parts of one’s experience and identifying the connection this may have to the past. To do this, I take a client-focused approach, using therapeutic approaches such as Person-centered, Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and more. I aim to provide a safe space where you can be authentically you, feel heard, respected, and accepted, all while I walk alongside you in your path to healing.

I am an EMDR-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work with adults in individual therapy. Most of my clients come to therapy wanting to gain a better understanding of how their experiences have shaped them and break free from their past. I specialize in treating trauma to help individuals gain insight into how traumatic experiences have shaped the way they view themselves, relationships, and the world around them. My goal is to help someone develop self-compassion and take steps towards building a future for themselves without misery and suffering.

Book with me now by clicking on my website! Glennon Doyle says, "Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway." It can be really scary to reach out for help when you're feeling stuck, when you're feeling out of control, or when you simply don't like who or what you see in the mirror. This is the part where I humbly invite you to take the leap and be vulnerable. Whether you're a child dealing with behavioral or emotional difficulties, a teen dealing with anxiety or depression, or an adult dealing with the general messiness of life - I am here for you and I believe things can get better.
