Are your emotions out of control? Do you feel like you need things to change, but you don't know how to get there? Are you fed up with struggling to get through the day?

Hello, I'm Yessica Lawson, a dedicated BIPOC Mental Health Therapist. With profound respect for diverse backgrounds, I provide a safe space for healing and growth. Specializing in culturally sensitive approaches, I am committed to fostering resilience and empowering individuals to navigate their unique mental health journey. Let's embark on this path together, embracing the strength within our shared narratives. Whether you are struggling with life changes, depression or mood disorders, grief, or relationship issues I am here to help.

I have over 25 years of experience working with at-risk youth (10 years old and up), adults, families and couples. I partner with them to help them overcome significant difficulties and trauma from the past, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect. I firmly believe that identity (who you are) and behavior (what you do) are two distinct things. Your behavior does not determine your identity. I help my clients to examine core beliefs that are contributing to their current difficulties, to help them to decide which ones are true and helpful, and which ones are not, to bring about true and lasting change.

You need a safe space to truly express yourself and work through tough emotions. Things like trauma and anxiety disrupt the nervous system, and it takes a special skill set to find your center in times of stress. I am a therapist that helps people tackle feelings of shame that often stem from dysfunctional family dynamics. If you're struggling with setting boundaries, finding balance, or navigating your mental health in general, I am here to help you work through it.

I work to help individual, couples, and families better understand their difficulties and identify a plan and steps to achieve their goals.

I specialize in maternal mental health where I help perinatal and postpartum clients adjust to life changes associated with their unique situations.

Currently accepting new clients in Indiana and Michigan. My goal as a therapist is to be a safe landing spot for your biggest emotions, fears, traumas, and anxieties.

We are accepting new clients for Family and Couples Counseling, Addictions Treatment, and Individual Telehealth Therapy! Therapy provides a safe space to develop the underlying factor for true happiness - meaningful human connection. The therapeutic experience at Collaborative Care is tailored to your individual needs using various therapeutic techniques such as; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and others to help you develop your best life possible.

I work best with individuals who are typically "on top of it" and are noticing something coming to a head that they no longer feel capable of managing on their own. The work that I do starts with working to understand the history and experiences that inform my client's present day experiences, identify areas of distress in their life, and establishing broad goals that we collaboratively break down into small steps to support actualization of those goals. There is structure to my approach and emotional and relational support that is built on our alliance as collaborators in this process.

I treat individuals, couples, and families within the context of their systems. A systemic approach to therapy means viewing your challenges within the context of school, work, medical concerns, marriage, family, etc. I believe that being a healthy person means having good boundaries in your biological, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions of life.

If you're feeling lost, uncertain, overwhelmed, or down, you're in the right place. Therapy offers space to explore your emotions, understand your behavior, and gain clarity for the future. As a therapist, I imagine my work with clients as the two of us sitting side-by-side, digging for clues, sweeping away the dirt and debris, and collecting pieces that will ultimately help them create fuller, more integrated, healed selves.
