Strength-Based Therapists in Whiteland, IN

My name is Jill Arland and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a therapist for over 10 years with my primary specialization in trauma-focused treatment for adults. Life may feel overwhelming, confusing, scary and lonely at times; but you are not alone. It takes courage to seek out connection and support in therapy. I value the bravery and vulnerability that it takes to reach out for support, especially when life has caused pain or hurt in the past.

My focus is designed to help individuals, couples and families realize their strengths and potential. Working individually, as a couple, or a family, my clients can, with minimal assistance, effectively address and resolve issues that hinder their well-being. My understanding nature, paired with my strong desire to see people thrive, allows my clients to grow in a safe environment conducive to the achievement of optimum life potential. What sets my practice apart from others, is that I offer my services in an office setting, as well as in the privacy and comfort of your home.

Integrating art therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and talk therapy, I offer a unique treatment approach for adults, teens, and families. In my 27 years of practice, I have extensive experience working with trauma (PTSD), abuse, mood disorders, anxiety disorders (including OCD) and interpersonal/relationship difficulties. My approach is supportive, collaborative and strength-based. I find fulfillment in helping individuals experience empowerment, increase resilience and make life changes that are sustainable and rewarding. My office is located downtown Bloomington in the historic Faris Building.

My passion is helping clients discover skills to manage anxiety, challenge thought traps, question negative thinking patterns, explore self-identity, and reduce depressive states through processing emotions, mindfulness, understanding the nervous system, and implementing healthy coping skills. If feeling frustrated in the past/present/future worries, we can explore EMDR together to allow the brain to heal naturally. We can create goals, big or small, to uncover strengths and reduce feelings of being stuck. I also like to bring breathwork, grounding techniques, and tapping into sessions to build a sense of calm and create peace.

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

Do you struggle with symptoms related to trauma from your childhood or as an adult? Do you find yourself constantly on edge or feeling like you have an overwhelming amount of emotions? I believe every person has the power to change their current situation for the better, no matter what obstacles they may be facing. My goal is to collaborate with each person, as each individual is the expert in their own life, to help them develop healthy coping strategies, learn new skills, gain insight, and find purpose and meaning in their life. Therapy is a place to create hope that things can get better, to empower change, and encourage healing.

I provide individual psychotherapy and psychological testing or psychological evaluation. Common reasons for testing referral include evaluation of conditions such as AD/HD; learning disabilities; or other cognitive, academic, emotional, or behavioral concerns as well as clarification of psychiatric diagnosis or diagnoses. At the conclusion of the evaluation process, I provide written and verbal feedback to the person or agency requesting the evaluation regarding test results, diagnoses, and individualized treatment recommendations based on evaluation findings as well as each person's unique strengths and needs.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.
