BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

You feel the pressure to look like you have it “all together,” but inside you are struggling to feel confident in yourself and your relationships. Struggling with FOMO, feeling like a fraud or a fake, the pressure of social media and saving face, this stage of life has so many challenges. It might be hard to even remember what life was like before you felt this way, but you know there’s hope. You know these problems don’t have to be permanent—you just need some help getting out of your own way. You’re ready to combat the negative self talk, improve your relationships, and work toward the potential you know you have inside of you.

Being a human is hard work! In therapy, we can learn, grow, and play with our experiences as a team. Together, we can learn to accept and value both the amazing and difficult things that come with a rich, meaningful life. Sometimes the challenges of life get in the way of our ability to access our individual and collective power to heal. Therapy offers a space to discover the parts of us that have become burdened and lovingly invite them to reconnect with our truest selves.

I am looking forward to working closely with you. My experience is in working with children, teens, adults, and families. I have a passion for working with individuals who are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, perinatal mood disorders, and grief/loss. If you are experiencing any symptoms related to these issues, I believe that I can provide a safe space to help reduce the barriers they can cause. I want to increase your comfort level of understanding what areas of your life you can control and which ones you may need to move towards acceptance.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of experience serving adults of all ages in mental health and addiction treatment settings. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. I am available for Tele-Health sessions.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Pastoral Care and Counseling. I am ordained as a Presbyterian Minister (P.C.U.S.A.), listed on the National Registry of Marriage Friendly Therapists, and certified as an Imago Relationship Therapist. I work with individuals and couples on mood-related, spiritual, and relational concerns.

Hello, I’m a second-year Master's student in the Mental Health Counseling program at Indiana University, Bloomington. As a life-long learner, I believe there is always room for growth and new beginnings. I have been a client and fully appreciate how intimidating it can be to take that first step, and I am on this new path in part because of how much I benefited from working with my own therapist. I hope to help others who might be feeling a little stuck, distressed or uncertain and strive to bring my authentic self, flaws & all, into each session to create a safe space for honest sharing & reflection.

I have helped many people from ages 12 to 80+ 'weather a personal crisis' regardless of circumstances; in addition, I have acquired special,training in working with returning military personnel in coping with their re-entry issues as well as helping them take 'next steps'. I am also an expert in career 'direction' as well as 'redirection', and regardless of age, I seek those people as clients who desire to become or retain an 'open mind'! I encourage 'self-esteem' as a precious commodity and promote one's own goals and personal values as their keys to happiness.

As a registered Art Therapist I can help you tap your creative energy, access your authentic self and create a road map for greater self-fulfillment. While working with people of all ages, I offer compassionate presence and skilled guidance. Life transitions are not always easy, so having another person "hold the light" while you find your way can be tremendously helpful. As your therapist I can help you identify your challenges, build upon strengths and practice new coping skills that create greater balance and well-being. Here at INTERPLAY Healing Arts I can help you find your flow!

We all have times in our lives that change becomes necessary. Experiencing symptoms such as low mood, increased worry, feeling overwhelmed by life, and wanting things to be different is the perfect time to seek professional support. Finding someone who can listen, encourage, and provide a positive non-judgmental understanding is essential to enacting change.

Relationships are a tough, but necessary part of our existence; be it with your partner, family, friends, or even co-workers. By focusing on the ‘here and now’ you can strengthen those present relationships. It’s not that the past and future are irrelevant. The past is what has put you in the present and the present is what shapes your future. I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to focus on what has put you into the 'here and now' and how you can better the tomorrow.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor in Indiana. I have spent most of my career as an addictions counselor and mental health counselor. I work with adults struggling with substances, relationships, self esteem and other forms of issues that cause discomfort and problems. I like to be "down to earth" and more directive in therapy because I'd like to get your problems solved as quickly as we can. I believe we, as humans, can benefit from having someone to talk to at any point in our lives and I'm ready to talk to you!

As a Bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy in Indiana, I am passionate about helping clients move towards a greater emotional well-being. I provide a warm environment where clients are able to feel safe to express themselves and tell their story. I have worked with individuals for 10 years and have helped many clients realize that life is all about growth and change, which isn't always easy or comfortable. I have extensive experience helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, phase of life transitions, stress (finances, work or home life), grief and loss, family conflict, ADD, etc..

There are many obstacles that face us every day and it is not always easy taking them on alone. The first step is realizing that we all need help at times and that’s okay. There’s a strength and a courage that is present when we take that step to seek help. My goal is to help you reach your best potential to lead a life that you want to live. Let's work together to achieve your desired goals!

Let's ignite your motive to unlock your potential! Catchy slogan huh? Okay but seriously, do you ever say “this is just me” or “this is just how I act”? Fun fact, there is a “motive” behind every action and behavior that you do. Our motives are a reflection of what we’ve been through, what we are going through, or sometimes what we fear for our future. All reasons to seek therapy to better understand yourself. Your first assignment is to sit in silence and ask yourself two questions: Why do I think I act/behave the way that I do? Am I ready to unlock the potential reasons why? Hint- reflect on your childhood.

Have you been in therapy for a long time and feel you aren't making progress? We are our own worst enemies and often get in our own way of change. Change can be scary, leading us to avoid it and stay within our comfort zone of maladaptive thinking and coping. My ideal clients are those who feel stuck, whether they're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or performance-related issues. They seek clarity, resilience, and a path to move forward, desiring practical strategies to overcome their obstacles and achieve their goals. Working with me will be a collaborative and empowering experience.

I have been working with families and teens in crisis for over 40 years and now though semi-retired I choose to use my skills to reach out through online therapy to support others. I come from a unique perspective that life is one of balance or imbalance. Balance is needed in our physical, emotional and spiritual lives and when out of balance life is just not right, we know it and sense it.

My mental health knowledge base is derived from crisis care in the busiest emergency department in Indiana, residential treatment facilities, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization programs and traditional outpatient therapy settings. I now work independently and am happy to share office space at New Perspectives of Indiana. I focus on working with both adolescent and adult patients who are living and struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and interpersonal related issues.
