Self-Harming Therapists in Huntington, IN

It is my goal as a therapist to come alongside each client, providing support, care, and a safe place to process and work towards personal well-being. I enjoy providing therapy from a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, family systems, client-centered, and faith integration at the client’s desire.

Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 15 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well.

I offer a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment in helping you to effectively resolve issues that are troubling you. We will work together to recognize and develop your strengths, to understand and change unhelpful patterns, and to help you gain relief from suffering. I emphasize respect, authenticity, and compassion for self and others. I believe you are the author of your story, and that together we can help you grow and flourish so that you are able to thrive and achieve your goals.

Counseling is a big step and my goal is to make my clients feel welcomed and supported in a non-judgmental environment. Services offered include EMDR which is a treatment to help process trauma by bringing awareness to issues that may not have been dealt with. Counseling provided for mental health issues such as mental illnesses, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, domestic violence and abuse, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, self-harming and distorted thinking, marital and family conflict, to name a few. Populations served include children, teens and adults.

Helping others feel more empowered to manage their mental health is my passion. Using a person-centered approach, my practice emphasizes providing evidence based therapeutic interventions guiding teens and adults through the fog that has been weighing them down, in a compassionate and non-judgmental, safe space. With several years of clinical experience working in an Indianapolis based psychiatric emergency department completing risk assessments for people who struggle with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, self- harming behaviors, addiction, victims of interpersonal abuse, and a variety of other urgent mental health needs.

As a therapist with over 20 years experience, I have a relaxed and welcoming approach that helps put clients at ease. I use art therapy to help individuals express themselves when words are sometimes hard to find. I use creative tools such as paint, clay, collage, drawing, etc. to help promote emotional growth. I also offer traditional talk therapy. Clients can choose their preferred approach, whether sitting on the couch talking, doing art or walking on the trails outside our space.

I am passionate about reducing suffering. My expertise is in helping women and teens struggling with depression, anxiety, feeling stressed/overwhelmed or "not good enough". I help women on their paths to parenting whether they are dealing with infertility, experiencing challenges in pregnancy/perinatal/postpartum, or needing support in parenting their children or balancing the demands of their lives. I have 13 years of clinical experience and 10 of those years have been spent treating children/teens with depression and anxiety (and often self-harming behaviors) in an intensive outpatient setting. I understand the stresses of teens and connect well with them.

I left my career in the finance industry to pursue my passion for healing and health in 2013. I have a warm and caring personality and am experienced working with individuals, couples, families and children. I use a variety of treatment modalities, but my approach is very client-centered. I often utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to counseling, helping clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and learning which they can control.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. I received my Masters from Indiana University - Purdue University and have been practicing for 4 years. I have a passion in assisting teens and young adults, as well as adults through difficult times in their lives as well as working through self-harming behaviors to build on more positive coping skills. I also assist individuals in addressing and working through trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients from age 12 to a 106. Although I hold a special place in my heart for adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-worth issues, I also enjoy working with adults. My aim is to help people who are feeling isolated, know they are not alone; assist people who are feeling hopeless, realize there’s always hope; and help people who are feeling paralyzed by shame, experience healing through self-compassion.

As your therapist I will help you reach your goals by building and empowering you to overcome obstacles while gaining the confidence and knowledge to build on for a stronger future. My hope is to encourage and support you as you work toward your goals and assist you in building skills along the way that are supportive of your individualized needs. I offer a safe and comfortable environment free from judgment and welcoming for all individuals.

I enjoy working with individuals from a variety of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and orientations. We’re all on a journey and at times need someone to walk with us as we navigate new or rough terrain as we seek connection and learn to craft a life we want. Every journey towards healing looks different-what helps one person doesn't necessarily help another. We are all a sum of everything that has happened to us and more. My hope is to provide therapeutic support that considers all aspects of a person when considering what might be helpful in moving forward, whatever that may look like.
