Grief Therapists in Greenwood, IN

Do you feel the stress of your daily life and need help managing? Do you struggle with trauma and want to try EMDR to improve your mindset? Life gets really tough sometimes. Relationships can get hard and become difficult to manage. Figuring out your next move can be challenging, and you may be at a complete loss. You may be doubting yourself. Sometimes, people struggle because they don’t have support and feel alone. Sometimes, they never learned how to identify their own emotions and communicate them in a healthy or productive way. Sometimes, people struggle because they have unhealthy coping patterns.

In our journey of life, we experience challenges and hardships that can affect the way we think and feel. Do you feel stuck? unheard? disconnected? isolated? If you are experiencing any of these I am here to help you.

I want to assist individuals and families in making positive and lasting change in their lives. I am supportive and direct in my practice and have been able to assist others with moving forward and toward their best self. I work to assist clients with identifying common stressors or barriers and identifying strategies for overcoming those thoughts, feelings, and challenges that are holding them back. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families to learn strategies to better manage stressors related to life change.

Congratulations on taking steps to create a new path for yourself and thank you for visiting my profile! My goal is to provide you with a comfortable space to explore challenges, thoughts, and feelings in order to heal. My background includes working in the mental health field for over 18 years in various capacities including in homes, schools, and outpatient community mental health settings.

I effectively work with a variety of concerns and symptoms, including: various levels of depression, anxiety, mood management, identity issues, loss of purpose and meaning, anger, shame, breaking codependency, struggles with self worth and self acceptance, setting limits and boundaries with others and obligations, sexuality or gender identity issues, unhealthy relationship patterns—but ultimately I strive to help clients become whole beings by reintegrating disowned parts of themselves. My Gestalt orientation pairs best with older adolescents (16-18) and adults--males and young adults often strongly relate to Gestalt practices.

Who knows you best? You do! You are the expert when it comes to knowing what is best for you. We all find ourselves stuck at times and questioning our decisions. I seek to offer a therapeutic perspective to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, including past, current, or potential future ones. My goal is to help you define and prioritize your wants and needs while we process the tough stuff that might be keeping you “stuck”!

Finding a therapist that you can connect with can be a difficult experience. For over 25 years, I have dedicated myself to trying to make the process of therapy an experience that is helpful, respectful and solution focused. I work with individuals who might be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, PTSD, grief or childhood issues that may remain an influence in your adult life.

I help clients remove mental blocks and build resourcefulness. Through hypnotherapy and self hypnosis clients achieve the peace and well-being they desire. Since 2013 I have successfully helped many adults, teens and children to resolve many issues such as focal dystonia, sleeplessness, fears and phobias, procrastination, unhealthy food & exercise habits, creative blocks, job loss/change, as well as anxiousness stemming from past traumas such as deaths, divorce, dysfunctional family, and more.

I look forward to helping each person discover how to be the best they can be, whatever or how ever each person defines their best. I help work through a variety of issues in a way that is not judgmental and help each person meet their own self-identified goals.

Each person's journey in life is different and has its own unique challenges. These challenges can serve as opportunities for personal growth and positive change. I have a fervor for helping clients through emotional challenges and guiding them towards hope and a stronger sense of self. Through adequate support and effective interventions, the therapy process can facilitate much healing and growth.

I work best with people who are feeling chained down by their self-esteem, whether that be from their self-talk or external factors such as family, friends, or society. Anyone who is looking to improve their life overall, even if they do not know what that looks like. People who are seeking to heighten their intuition and prioritize growth. I have a special passion for the LGBTQ+ community and am a gay-identifying therapist. I also specialize in mindfulness, grief, and oncology. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which allows people to quickly process trauma and other negative experiences in a short amount of time.

I believe that mental health is an important part of overall health and happiness. Each person has the ability to commit to and foster positive change in their lives. I always strive to work with each client as an individual, fostering their strengths and building healthy coping skills, insight, and empowering courage for change. I am passionate about women's health and issues. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

Have you experienced something traumatic in your life? Do you feel depressed or anxious? I am so glad you have found me. I have always had a heart for helping people and I am so excited at the opportunity to help you! Sometimes life throws things at us that we just need help navigating. It is my honor to be the support person you need during your therapy journey! I believe it is critical for you to know that you are safe with me and that as we navigate through whatever challenges you are facing, I will be at your side to support you. My style of therapy is warm, curious, empathetic, and direct.

I view therapy as a journey to reconcile the story that we write for our life with the reality that exists. This inevitable disparity is where most of our tension in life exists. This may include grieving a loss of some kind or learning how to accept what we can actually control in life. My specialty is clinical addiction treatment, but my diverse experience in university counseling, community mental health, and college teaching allow me to offer unique expertise in a variety of areas. No matter how lost you feel, you can find find your true self again in treatment at Dobson Counseling Inc.
