Grief Therapists in Columbus, IN

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.

I provide clients with a compassionate and goals-driven counseling environment, so that we can find the best way to overcome challenges together. Whether it's anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger, experiences of trauma, or otherwise, I hope to offer you both an active, empathetic listening ear, as well as ways to take your power back.

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 tough and stressors sometimes interfere in our most meaningful relationships. No matter how overwhelming these stressors can feel, there are healthy coping strategies that can not only restore hope, but can help build stronger relationships. My goal is to meet you where you are and assist you, the expert, in finding meaningful solutions.

Hello, my name is Susana Wilson! I'm excited to meet you and start our therapy work together. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. After completing education and training in grad school in 2010 at IUPUI I provided therapy in a clinical setting and then moved to teletherapy.

I will meet you where you are at. I want to empower you and help guide you through any challenges that arise.

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.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have 18 years experience working in a medical setting providing therapeutic support and resources to patients and families receiving hospital, home healthcare, and hospice services. When my own health issues created the need for me to step away from my professional role, I became more devoted to caring for my inner self. Through my own journey, I have become more holistically minded and embrace a mind-body-spirit approach in everything life brings to me. It is my goal to use my gifts and talents to help others heal in a more fully integrated way. In addition to my Clinical licensure.

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.

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.

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.

We're not always prepared for the challenges that come our way. Sometimes we encounter a problem we can't figure out on our own. It helps to have someone else to lean on to get us through a difficult period. My primary job as a counselor is to give encouragement, impart a sense of hope, and help restore balance in the lives of my clients. For some clients it's a rare experience to be truly heard, understood, and empathized with. I'll provide a warm, non-judgmental environment that allows you to tell your story.

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.

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.
