Blue Shield Therapists in Indiana

Do you often feel overwhelmed with life? Or do you feel that something from your past is keeping you stuck? Or maybe you just had a baby and need help transitioning into parenthood? I can help with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self talk, goal setting and more. I have found great success with walking along side the people I work with to help them move from where they are to where they want to be…wherever that might be! I’m nonjudgmental and accepting of all walks of life- LGBTQIA+ individuals are welcome. I am not currently taking on any couples.

After 27 years of working in the mental health field, in 3 different countries, I have an appreciation for the fact that life rarely goes according to plan. Perhaps you’re struggling with feeling anxious, depressed, or unfulfilled with some part of your life, or you find yourself longing for deeper, more meaningful relationships. Have you lived through traumatic events (whether recent or long ago) that have changed you in ways you don’t understand, caused you to react unpredictably...made you feel like a stranger to yourself, & you’re struggling to cope? I believe in meeting you where you're at, with compassion, & without judgment.

Hello, my name is Miranda. My goal as a therapist is to help you work through your your issues, address your inner needs and achieve your goals. I help you focus on what is most important to you by providing you a safe space to explore, express and examine the areas of your life that have been causing you stress or discomfort. Once you find a therapist that works for you and you feel comfortable, being able to open up is the easy part. My approach to counseling is rooted in a person centered approach, along with feministic and empowerment focused support to help you be the best you can be every day.

I have an extensive background working with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of disciplines including acute care and residential settings with high behavioral and mental health needs as well as have worked extensively with children and adolescents from traumatic backgrounds in the foster care system. I believe that mental health is a personal journey.

Adolescence and young adulthood can hold many challenging life transitions. My approach to working with clients is to encourage self-empowerment and resiliency through support, guidance and collaboration. My goal is to support my clients in uncovering and highlighting their existing strengths to support them in meeting their individualized goals.

Deciding to meet with a therapist is the first step in overcoming obstacles you are faced with.

I'm particularly passionate about serving those who are pregnant, adjusting to parenthood, difficulty with conceiving, pregnancy loss- miscarriage & stillbirth; and transitioning to co-parenting. I'm trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths based approach & mindfulness techniques. I also work with those with generalized anxiety, depression & adjustment disorder.

The need for a space to heal and grow is even greater, as we have all experienced unprecedented loss, pain, and isolation. As we reach the light at the end of the tunnel, there is still uncertainty as to the long-term effects of what we have endured. No one should have to face it alone.

The people I work with tend to be navigating life changes and transitions, exploring identity concerns and/or neurodiversity, as well as seeking ways to manage their emotions. Curiosity, openness to new perspectives, and motivation to take action are welcomed. Transition can mean many things: entering the workforce, going to school, beginning/ending a relationship, gender, existential concerns, learning how to "adult" and so much more. I enjoy helping people learn more about themselves and building skills. This helps us know how to take care of ourselves and give us ideas of what to do when life gets messy.

Some of my specialty areas are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Self-esteem, OCD, Domestic Violence, and Child Emotional Neglect. Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-trust, shame, and guilt, which is why change does not occur? I provide psychoeducation to all clients to help them recognize why change is so difficult and understand how the mind works. An ideal client takes notes and follows through on exercises throughout the week. There are 160 hours in a week, and as a therapist, I only see you 1 hour a week, which means work outside of a therapy session is key to making positive changes in your life.

Life can feel overwhelming and exhausting, but I believe that effective coping and shifting our mindset can make day-to-day life not feel this way.

Sometimes we feel disconnected with those parts of ourselves, and my goal is to help you reconnect with them.
