Couples Counseling Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

I want to start out by saying that I'm looking forward to meeting you and working on the issues and goals that brought you into my office. I am extremely passionate about what I do and love my job! It is my belief that everyone has significant strengths and abilities to heal and get to the place in life where they want to be, but sometimes you just need a little bit of help. I use a strengths-based approach and also help clients look into where their issues are coming from instead of just trying to put a Band-Aid on the problem.

With tailored therapy, we'll navigate your challenges together, fostering resilience and empowering you to reclaim your life. Let's embark on this transformative journey.

Life can become overwhelming at times. We may be struggling with our spouse/partner, or our family relationships and feel like we are stuck in an endless loop of fights and frustrations. We need someone to walk alongside us in our journey and help us to get off the merry-go-round. I believe that within each of us exists strengths and resources that once discovered, we can use to bring transformation to our lives and our relationships. My desire as a therapist is to support you in your journey and provide a safe place to share your hurts and discover your strengths.

I believe the process of therapy will help you clarify your feelings, understand yourself and others, explore options, and make changes in your life. My orientation as a therapist is both psychodynamic and interactive--gaining an understanding of your past to enhance your future. I consider self-knowledge and self-acceptance the best ways to overcome challenges encountered throughout life. Therapy should be tailored to a client's needs as no two people are alike, therefore I employ a variety of theories, techniques, and practices which customize treatment to the uniqueness of each individual.

My work is client focused and strengths based . If you are in the LGBTQ+ community you will find a safe haven here. Come and find peace for heart and soul. I do not work with people in early recovery.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted.

Hello! I'm Darlene, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana and a Certified Professional Coach with over 15 years of experience in listening to and connecting with people to help them grow, change, heal and reach personal and professional goals. I have provided valuable individual, family and relationship counseling on an outpatient basis, in residential treatment facilities, on crisis hotlines, in domestic violence shelters and in manufacturing plants.

Relationships are the fabric of our lives, weaving all of our life experiences together. Bonds of every kind can be challenging, and sometimes leave us feeling rejected or afraid. Out of a desire for closeness, we can sometimes cower or lash out (without knowing why). Let us work together to discover how to find (and keep!) healthy relationships.

One of my favorite parts of meeting with people is witnessing what unfolds in the therapeutic journey. Often, the challenge that brings an individual or couple to therapy is just the starting point for the meaningful work that follows. Perhaps your precipice is unexpected news, a difficult transition, or the loss of a relationship. Or maybe you are starting therapy with a longing to deepen your relationship, both with yourself and others. Regardless, I’m eager to walk alongside you as you ask hard questions, gain new insight, and begin to make connections between the past and present chapters of your story.

Maybe you’re an an individual struggling with managing your feelings or behaviors- unable to tap into that ideal version of yourself. You might be a couple facing communication problems (daily blow-ups, loss of intimacy, or old unresolved conflict). Perhaps you're experiencing disconnection with your kids, feeling frustrated and hopeless. Or maybe you’re a man in the modern world- struggling to communicate, be a partner/father, or just trying to understand who and how to be. These are the areas I specialize and have repeated success in. Regardless of the situation, I will always be my authentic self with you from day one.

My approach is to understand my client through a complete history of childhood and adult experiences so that we can together explore how the client perceives the world. Sometimes experiences can cause clients to be anxious, defensive or make poor choices. I hope to help clients see how these approaches may have been useful in other times in life but may be less useful now. Sometimes a new approach to thinking is helpful. Other times insight and being understood can promote change.This approach also works with both parties in a couple to help regain trust and form new ways of relating.
