Therapists in Marion County, IN
I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and adjustment disorders, and for the past 20 years I have specialized in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While I am skilled in the traditional treatment methods of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I also have extensive training in an innovative approach to OCD called Inference Based CBT (ICBT). Through ICBT I have had the privilege of helping clients who had only limited success in prior OCD treatment finally achieve freedom from this distressing disorder. My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
