Intellectual Disability Therapists in Greenwood, IN

Autism is not a medical condition needing "treatment." Rather, it is an opportunity to work intensively on personal growth starting with the child's diagnosis, and then extending to the family, the professionals, schools, communities and finally the governments.

All therapy starts with collaboration at it's core. Seeking therapy takes a great deal of courage and we commend you for considering therapy as a tool for self-exploration and growth. Many find that building a supportive and interactive relationship with their therapist contributes to the overall effectiveness of therapy. We offer a safe and non-judgmental environment, with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your well-being. Our services are offered to adults and teens, specializing in difficulties related to: stress, coping with life's changes, anxiety, trauma, identity, body image, self-esteem, and LGBTQ+.

I am a pediatric neuropsychologist with extensive experience in providing culturally sensitive and trauma informed developmental and neuropsychological evaluations to children and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, learning disorder), acquired brain injuries, and emotional and behavioral challenges (e.g., mood and impulse control disorders).

If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, feel overwhelmed, or just want to talk something through, counseling might be helpful for you. Counseling can help improve self-esteem, develop skills to manage depression and anxiety better, and help to process significant events in our lives. Counseling can help with problems both big and small and can help to develop perspectives or new ways of thinking about things. Give me a call to see if you think counseling will help you.

Since 2000, O'Brien Psychological Services has provided psychological evaluations. He currently has two locations (Indianapolis and Kokomo). Dr. O'Brien is particularly interested in psychological evaluations and consultation but, from time to time, he will accept clients for psychotherapy services. His assessment clients have included, but are not limited to, the following: psychiatric hospitals, bariatric surgery patients, international adoption clients, juvenile courts, medical practices, autism treatment centers, other mental health professionals, and various state and federal agencies. I am also very honored and humbled by the many professionals in the field of human services who could have gone anywhere for psychological services but who trusted me to provide assessments and consulting services for their own family members.

I am a licensed therapist with a Masters in Social Work. My degree has given me the fundamentals necessary to embark on the journey of becoming a licensed mental health therapist. It has helped me learn to identify what people think and how they react to different situations. It also helped me to recognize the appropriate way of dealing with people and helping them without making them feel uncomfortable. Making sure my client’s understand their own problems properly while involving them in preparation for a plan of action is a goal I as a therapist strive for.

Hello, my name is Miranda. My goal as a therapist is to help you work through your your issues, address your inner needs and achieve your goals. I help you focus on what is most important to you by providing you a safe space to explore, express and examine the areas of your life that have been causing you stress or discomfort. Once you find a therapist that works for you and you feel comfortable, being able to open up is the easy part. My approach to counseling is rooted in a person centered approach, along with feministic and empowerment focused support to help you be the best you can be every day.

People who have experienced trauma often note significant reactions in their body, despite not knowing or understanding the cause. Although they cognitively feel like they are safe, their body will not let them relax or connect easily with others. This is because the autonomic nervous system, which tells us whether or not we are in danger, may be tuned to be hypervigilant or shut down due to the traumas the individual experienced. Reshaping the nervous system's responses through experiential exercises can bring relief.

Busy schedules, kids, work, family stress and complicated relationships can make us feel out of control. We can lose focus on the important things in life and can be overtaken by our commitments. I know what it’s like to struggle in life. I understand feeling hurt and pain while joy and peace seem out of reach. Finding a good fit with an experienced therapist is important. I offer a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space for healing and moving forward in life.
