My theoretical approach is client-centered in providing a laid back, safe, and non-judgmental atmosphere. I utilize evidence-based practices to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients.

I believe it is important to focus on my client’s strengths to assist them in identifying coping strategies to address cognitive distortions and negative behaviors.

The foundations to a person's mind are based on the principals both instilled into and gathered from experiences as a child. As children grow older, they soon start interpreting this information to decide for themselves which of their actions are right and wrong. What draws me to study Psychology is this mental processing, and how it affects a person's current and future disposition. As a reliable and hard-working individual, I believe I can make a worthy contribution in helping to assist you with your counseling needs.

The pressures of daily life can be a challenge to navigate, and that challenge only becomes more difficult with each stressor we endure. I am here to help you process the stresses and challenges in your life in order to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, balanced mind.

Sometimes in life things happen that we don't feel we can solve on our own. Things can build up over time and take a toll on us emotionally and physically. Therapy is a place where you can make sense of things and heal. We can develop a plan specific to your individual needs using evidence based therapy techniques like Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reproccessing (EMDR). Both these therapies are extremely effective for treating anxiety, depression, and trauma related symptoms and distress.

Image a life that allows you to move forward, experiencing all life has to offer to it's fullest. Change is possible and through the guidance and support of therapy, one can maximize all that life has to offer. Change lies within each of us, and with personal responsibility and direction one can achieve life goals. The potential of any individual is determined not by past struggles but in one's ability to overcome personal struggle and capitalize on one's inherent resilience. With guidance and direction, one can move out of the shadows of the past, into a vibrant, hopeful future.

I know that life is not always easy and it can be even more difficult when you don’t feel right mentally. Sometimes it just takes a trained listener to help you cope with and heal from the things that keep us stuck. I love being that person for others. I have been a practicing therapist since 2014. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. My primary work has been working in the school with children and adolescents. I bring knowledge of both the school system and the stressors that children and adolescents deal with at school on a daily basis.

Would you believe I started out in film school before becoming a therapist? Giving up a path in entertainment may seem backward but my family had been suddenly impacted by terminal and chronic illness. My own grief journey inspired me to help people so I finished my education in Social Work and I've been a therapist since.

Hi, I’m Jobeth Johnson! I’m a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who loves providing therapy, clinical supervision, consultation to other clinicians, and Toy Story. I am very passionate about helping kids, teenagers, adults, and families feel better, so they cope with the stressors of everyday life. These stressors can result in anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, obsessive compulsive thoughts, and/or trouble adjusting to difficult situations.

While traditional talk therapy can be helpful for some, it is not for all. Art and other expressive therapies can be utilized as a tool to help people of all ages express, process and communicate their social and emotional needs when words aren’t enough. I enjoy working with children ages 3+ and have specialized in helping others regulate emotions, decrease and cope with stress, anxiety and depression; increase self-esteem, social skills and mood; and process traumatic events.

Hello, I'm Dr. Sharen M. Pierre Waters, LCSW. I'm a Mental Health & EMDR Therapist, having achieved a PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’ve served clients in South Central Indiana for 20+ years, providing mental health and hospice care. The joy of my work as a therapist is to walk gently beside my clients toward wellness and growth: (1) to inspire hope that change is possible, (2) to guide clients to the truth that we are worth the effort to rise, and (3) to share education - or light - to enable change to happen. My effectiveness is widely respected, as is my warmth and compassion.

My focus is to assist individuals, couples, and families with navigating everyday life stressors in order to find renewed pleasure and enjoyment in their relationships.

Life can be difficult. At times, we are confronted with painful experiences we would rather avoid. And because we don't deal with the discomfort those situations bring, we keep ourselves stuck - still experiencing and enacting the pain we are trying to avoid. I see psychotherapy as a liberating journey through which we are able to transcend the emotional discomfort painful occurrences bring with them, while learning to relate to our life stories in such a way that they no longer keep us hostage. Through this process, psychological and spiritual growth occurs. Let me walk with you.
