Female Therapists in Martinsville, IN

My goal in working with you as a therapist is to serve as a catalyst for change. I hope to be able to help you energize and mobilize your strengths, thereby enabling you to reach the goals you desire.

I use an approach that emphasizes person-centered treatment. More specifically, this approach focuses on recovery, wellness and resilience. The essence of this approach involves coaching, cheerleading, facilitating, and mentoring. In addition, I focus on building a partnership with the individual to create of an individual plan that serves as each person’s road map to recovery. Principles of hope, empowerment and self-determination are heavily emphasized. I encourage the development of an individual vision which reflects preferences, abilities, strengths, goals, & cultural identity. Working together to identify the individual's life goals and removing barriers to their recovery and wellness.

I offer telehealth and in-person sessions. I specialize in treating mental health concerns in adults and adolescents. I work with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and family issues. I am a trained EMDR therapist and specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I'm a Harvard and Stanford-trained psychologist who helps people with anxiety stop pushing through stress and burnout and live more. Are you so good at pushing through problems that no one notices how much you're struggling? If nothing changed, life would be just plain overwhelming...feeling lost and trapped... and suffocated. It’s miserable feeling like anxiety is taking over, interfering with relationships, work, and feeling just burned out. Enough is enough! If you’re here, you can likely relate. We'll work together to create a life you don't dread.

Silent and negative non-verbal thoughts to ourselves about life's circumstances can and will hurt us. They are the misbeliefs or lies we silently tell ourselves, over and over again about why we feel the way we feel when we experience suffering. Our silent, negative non-verbal thoughts become our negative self-talk and keep us stuck in life's circumstances. We can choose to make a difference. We can choose to recognize the misbeliefs or lies we tell ourselves so that we can start the healing process of moving forward.

Hello, I'm Dr. Sharen M. Pierre Waters, LCSW. I'm a Mental Health & EMDR Therapist, having achieved a PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I’ve served clients in South Central Indiana for 20+ years, providing mental health and hospice care. The joy of my work as a therapist is to walk gently beside my clients toward wellness and growth: (1) to inspire hope that change is possible, (2) to guide clients to the truth that we are worth the effort to rise, and (3) to share education - or light - to enable change to happen. My effectiveness is widely respected, as is my warmth and compassion.

The ideal client for the E.L.L.A practice are individuals, couples and families, suffering with emotional instability due to significant life transition, trauma & loss and those seeking healing and wellness through holistic approaches. My practice assists in finding answers for where (and why) an individual/family may be in their life, how they got there (influences, stressors, traumas, barriers), identifying alternatives for improved life functioning and finally assisting in finding contentment, balance and peace with current life status while encouraging optimal functioning in all aspects of one's life or business.

Therapy can help you understand your thoughts and feelings, recognize your strengths, and help you make meaningful steps to a healthier you. One of my main goals is to provide you with the insight and tools so that you can live your life in a healthy way.

If you are feeling the call to be more at home in your body, to ignite your creativity, to ground in new ways of being. If you are feeling anxious or depressed and talk therapy alone is not enough. If you want to release old patterns and beliefs that feel stuck in your body. If you want to explore a deeper integration in mind, body and spirit but aren’t sure how. - Know that all this is possible. For over 30 years, I have been honored to walk beside many clients as they come home to their bodies and find what has been calling them.

The BCC brings together a diverse group of therapists dedicated to healing through growth-fostering relationships. We accompany you on a journey to learn who you are in the context of your life, and how your understanding about who you are has been shaped by relationships and culture, for better and for worse. Our approach is rooted in RCT, a framework that goes beyond traditional ideas of individual diagnoses to explore relational dynamics contributing to joy, distress, isolation, and healing. We believe we all flourish in meaningful connection, and healing is directly tied to relational safety and supported vulnerability.
