Female Therapists in St Joseph County, IN

Courtney Carroll, "My ideal clients are kids age 8 and up, preteens, teens, and adults who are interested in using arts-based interventions alongside traditional clinical therapy to treat trauma and stress related issues. I see most clients in the art studio in our practice and utilize materials such as painting, drawing, clay, mixed media to work to enhance expression, to build resilience, and create healing from within oneself."

Dr. Wendy Settle provides teletherapy for adults and teenagers in Indiana presenting with anxiety, OCD, depression, self-esteem, stress management, panic attacks, depersonalization/derealization, Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (e.g., hair pulling, skin picking), tic disorders, seasonal affective disorder, ADHD, & college adjustment. Her theoretical orientation integrates biopsychosocial, developmental, behavioral (such as exposure and response prevention), cultural, cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, as well as other mindfulness-based perspectives.

Will power and determination sometimes aren’t enough. That’s because we all have an unconscious, emotionally reactive brain that can sometimes sabotage us. These are the roots of why human beings can get stuck in their journeys, and why we struggle to embody the changes we know we “should” be making. I utilize EMDR and other neurobiological/cognitive strategies to help transform and reorient subconscious parts toward becoming inner allies for our higher selves. I am honored to be a gatekeeper for these powerful tools and I am ready to share! I can meet you where you are at, with multiple practice locations and Telehealth options

Do you feel like you didn't get the instruction manual for life? Are there changes happening that just do not seem to make sense in your relationships, job, body or just life? Are you looking for a safe space to just say out loud all the stuff that feels like it is being bottled up?

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.

I believe that we live in a society that talks a lot about love, yet we rarely agree on what it truly means, or how to define it. Teaching others how to love one another better is my life commitment. Focusing on couple's work has taught me a lot about myself, about life, about love, and about what it means to really love someone else. I also work with women, trauma survivors, and those experiencing spiritual life questions. I believe we are all trauma survivors to some extent, and that affects the lens in which we view our world. It is my approach to help my clients explore and broaden their view.

I am passionate about helping people who are ready to make changes but feel stuck in patterns that have developed over time. I want to help you understand where those patterns came from and how to make lasting changes. I focus a LOT on understanding how emotions and thoughts are connected to our actions. If we have a session, I will probably ask a lot about how something feels. We don't do something for no reason, and I strongly believe we have good intentions behind the things that we do - even if the end result isn't always what we hoped for..

As a Master's Level Clinician, I specialize in providing individual, couples, and family therapy. With extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and their families in both residential and outpatient treatment settings, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and post-bariatric surgery adjustments. I employ evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Problem Solving Models, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

We take pride in helping clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will give them strength for the moment and allow them to look forward to the future with hope. We are committed to working closely with those we serve, together we can lay the cornerstone for healthier and happier lives.

As you search for a counselor, the most important thing is to find someone who can help you with the current obstacles you are facing. You deserve someone who is competent, accepting, and compassionate. I am committed to walking alongside you as you deal with life’s difficulties and struggles. I assist in bringing clarity and focus while working with you toward meeting your goals.

Is life a struggle? Sad feelings. Worrying about your health. Stressed over your job. Or just stretched thin taking care of your family. There’s so much to take care of. And, as a result, of course you’re tired all the time. Advice is flying at you from all sides – family, friends, co-workers. You’re feeling overwhelmed. So, where do you turn? I empower individuals to make the choices that will improve their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Whatever it is that’s causing you distress, I’ve found that by addressing emotional and physical challenges together help you achieve the most successful outcome.

You may be struggling to manage anxiety or depression, relationships, life transitions, or loss. Or you may be asking yourself questions that feel too overwhelming to find answers to on your own. Whether it is your first time considering therapy or you have lots of experience working with a therapist, I offer a non-judgmental, safe, and collaborative space for you to process the challenges or experiences you are facing, and to freely explore and express yourself.

My ideal client is anyone who genuinely wants help and genuinely wants to make a change. Their issues are immaterial.

My approach to therapy starts with providing you a welcoming, safe and supportive atmosphere where you will have the opportunity to talk about your concerns. I am compassionate and caring, and I invite my clients to see the best in themselves and in others. I use an integrative approach drawing upon my training in family systems and cognitive/behavioral therapies, selecting what will be most helpful for each individual, couple or family. I see my role to be that of supporter, teacher, coach, guide, listening ear, and sounding board.

Specializing in marital/family therapy. I also have a strong background in treating depression and grief issues.

I am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds. I see the importance in identifying the ways thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence our lives. Identifying the root of the issues we face is difficult but necessary for lasting change whether you're experiencing relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief, or having difficulty navigating major life transitions.

A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client. I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level.

I know that starting therapy can be a scary process. But, it doesn’t have to be! Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you just haven’t found a therapist you “click” with, I am here to meet you where you are at. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and personality disorders.

Feeling stuck and unsure how to make change? Battling depression or anxiety? Struggling due to putting everyone else first instead of yourself? Dealing with work burnout?
