In Person Therapists in Putnam County, IN

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop. She was diagnosed with Bipolar I and had several suicide attempts. She could externalize her mania and use fitness and wellness to push through her episodes. She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others. My services involve psychotherapy using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), with a trauma-informed framework.

I believe in our innate capacity to grow and heal. Sometimes we need a little help along the way. I support that process with spacious curiosity and compassion. I am most passionate about working with adults struggling with relational or complex trauma, attachment issues, self-worth, and parenting. Deep connection to nature, to oneself, and to others is a large part of my personal and professional philosophies. To that end, I offer walking therapy sessions for those who prefer to be outside in nature to explore their inner awareness.

Therapy can be scary, but I promise it is worth it. Here at Elite Counseling Group, LLC, I focus on individual counseling for a wide variety of experiences and life transitions. Sometimes we need therapy to get through some small changes and other times we need therapy to process BIG emotions and events; the best part is, both are perfectly fine! At Elite Counseling Group, I follow your lead and we go on the therapy adventure together! I will empower you to find your voice so you can advocate, set boundaries, heal, and live a life you love.

I feel honored to walk alongside you during your journey to holistic wellness. Often life’s circumstances redirect our desired purpose. Trauma is one such circumstance. A traumatic past often leads to unhealthy interpretation of the motivations of others. This often hinders fully obtaining and maintaining positive interpersonal connections. Could yesterday’s trauma unknowingly, and unconsciously keep you in a state of maladaptive feelings/behaviors such as low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, depression, jealousy, or perfectionism? Has your family of origin or upbringing created schemas that perpetuate these feelings?

Attention Young Adults! Are you struggling with parents who still want to treat you like you're a teenager? You've handled the pressure of school, work, and relationships, but don't seem to get credit from the people who claim to know you best. Adulting is hard! I've had the pleasure of supporting young adults and families for many years, but I'm still young enough to remember what that was like. If you're going through big life changes and looking for support from someone who's NOT your parent, reach out today.

I want to help you & your child feel seen, heard, validated, respected, & supported.

We all strive for a fulfilled life. Peace, joy, and purpose, not just surviving or forcing yourself through the day. Life changes, loss, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and other challenges can make this difficult at times. Working through challenges and developing a life that is meaningful to you sometimes involves taking a leap and seeking help. Taking this step can be scary or intimidating, but also can bring hope and the ability to move forward into the life you deserve.

Understanding the self is the first step toward change. Through compassion, reflection and skill development one has the opportunity to remove obstacles in the form of beliefs, mobilize one's inner resources, reduce suffering and create a more meaningful life. I have worked with adults who have survived trauma/abuse, struggled with problems in mood and thought and experienced self-worth injuries.

I am a Pre-licensed professional (LMHC-A) and a Registered Art Therapist- Provisional (ATR-P). I enjoy working with adults and adolescents and I work primarily with individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. I also see those struggling with anxiety, depression, life adjustments, trauma, and obsessive compulsive tendencies. I hope to help individuals throughout the challenging road of recovery and walk along side them, providing support and compassion along the way.

I believe times of frustration, stress, and pain can lead to positive growth and that we can flourish in a compassionate, nonjudgemental environment, with gentle challenging from a trusted individual. In the context of the therapeutic environment, one can safely work through vulnerable emotions, fears, and dreams, and it is an honor to be able to facilitate this process. No one is an island; if our relationships aren't going well, it is likely we are not feeling our best. I would like to help you improve how you relate to and view yourself, others, and the world around you, identifying strengths and natural supports.

My approach as a board certified art therapist is to use creative and sensory exploration to navigate deeper feelings when words are difficult to articulate. Art therapy is ageless; any age can benefit with no artistic skill required! Some challenges I help children process through include: anxiety, trauma, ADHD, school related issues, and divorce. I also offer the option of traditional talk therapy to work through parenting, pregnancy, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Parents talk through discipline, bonding, anger, and building trust with their kids. Tele-therapy is also available for Indiana and Illinois residents.
