Hello, I am Natalie Hartney, a LMHC, or Professional Counselor, in Indiana. I use casual conversation, curiosity, and humor to get to the heart of a client's lived experience. The focus areas of my practice include working with individuals and couples of all identities to identify unhelpful patterns, and create change. I approach therapy from a directive CBT perspective, that is, providing information about how brains and nervous systems work, to help you better understand and make smart choices in responses to situations. I use education, exploration, mindfulness, and self acceptance as core values when working with clients.

Taking the step to seek therapy can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming. I look forward to working with clients and couples who are brave enough to take this step to better themselves and their relationships. My focus primarily lies in bettering client's self-esteem through exploring their identity and personal experiences that have made them who they are today. My ideal clients may not know where or how to begin their journey of self discovery, but are willing to take the chance. I work with clients to create their own goals. I tend to work at the client's pace, pushing them when need be.

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.

Emotions can be confusing, relationships can be messy, and past experiences can negatively impact our present lives, but with proper coping strategies, we don’t have to remain stuck in maladaptive patterns. Change can be scary and people often remain frozen due to the fear of the unknown. Change and acceptance are two concepts that are diametrically opposed but with the right mind set they can actually work hand-in-hand in order to promote growth and healing.

In my practice I see clients of all ages with a wide variety of concerns. I practice from a person-centered approach, which means that your goals are my goals and we will work on them together. I offer individual and family psychotherapy as well as psychological testing. Within this practice I want to help you or your child make positive changes in life to reduce struggle. I create a warm, nonjudgmental environment that allows you to have the space to explore various solutions and find what works best for you. Clients who work with me see functional improvements and behavioral changes in their lives.

I am a LMHC and most of my work has been in the community mental health setting, meaning I have had a broad range of experiences working with everyone from children to older adults. I have worked primarily with those struggling in addiction, but because of my background I have worked with a broad range of treatment needs. I also really enjoy helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma concerns. I do primarily individual therapy, but do have experience working with couples as well. I am very relationally based and really focus on therapy as a collaboration between you and I, with your input leading the way.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

As your therapist, we will process anxiety, depression, past traumas, reroute negative behaviors, & learn how lived experiences impact the way you view the world currently. My clients often seek therapy because they are wanting to uncover the meanings behind their emotions; together, we are often able to uncover the meaning behind these emotions by better understanding past traumas encountered. Only then, can we replace negative behaviors that have stemmed from these traumas, together. I provide a safe & genuine space for LGBTQ clients & practice from an inclusive & client-centered perspective.

Life is unpredictable and uncomfortable at times and adding mental health struggles, addiction, and/or trauma makes it much more difficult to navigate. You don’t have to walk your path alone! A therapist can help you to manage the unwanted thoughts and behaviors you may be experiencing. They can also be a trusted person to assist in guiding you toward confidence and joy.

Whether you are coming to this page with years of experience in therapy or are adventuring into this for the first time, welcome. We are absolutely not wired to do life alone or come pre-loaded with all the skills and insights desired to manage the good, hard, and painful. Providing a space of gentleness and compassion, we can work together on painful past experiences in the family or otherwise, symptoms of anxiety or depression, sexual concerns, feelings of guilt or shame, identity concerns, challenges in religious/spiritual upbringing, or just overall feeling stuck.

My name is Rita Brockie, MSEd, LMHC, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), in the state of Indiana, and I graduated from Indiana University South Bend with a Master of Science in Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MSEd), and I have been working with individuals and families for over seven years in our community. I educate individuals and families about wellness dimensions in our lives including emotional, physical, spiritual, and relationships, and I assist clients in finding more satisfaction in these areas.

We all want to be our best selves in life. Sometimes, due to a variety of circumstances, we become stuck in patterns of thinking or behaving that make it difficult to achieve our life goals. During these times, a therapeutic relationship can help to reignite passions, bring our best selves back into focus, and inspire forward movement once again.

My mission is to create a space where all clients feel welcome and safe enough to share freely without fear of judgment, and to equip clients with tools and resources to overcome daily challenges and build healthier connections with themselves and others. My specialty includes trauma, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My aim is to offer a humanistic and trauma-focused approach to growth and healing. Taking the first step toward recovery and healing is HARD. I am here to help you navigate that.

Welcome! Finding the right therapist can be difficult due to the uniqueness of the relationship. By providing a compassionate, relaxed, and nonjudgemental environment, I hope to make this easier. It is a privilege that people choose to share parts of their lives with me as well as allow me to be part of their journeys of change and growth.
