Blue Shield Therapists in Indiana

Michelle creates a safe space for clients to share their life’s story, bringing their full selves, in order to grow more into their own personal sense of wellness. Being fully known and heard is in itself a path to healing. Michelle walks with the client as they become aware of ways their thoughts and beliefs about past experiences, behaviors, and relationships are affecting their present.

I provide affirming, nonjudgmental therapy to people of all ages. I enjoy working with individuals who are mindful and self reflective, and are looking for someone to help them connect with their feelings and explore new perspectives. My clients are unique individuals, ready to do the work to find their version of personal fulfillment and freedom. We work to enhance self-awareness, process past experiences interfering with the present, gain tools needed to navigate challenges, and find a deeper sense of meaning in life.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The challenges you face may be overwhelming at times, and with over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I hope I can join with you to overcome life's difficulties. Clients need someone to listen and understand what their goals are and use the best available research to meet those goals. My years of experience as a Director of a County Mental Health Center included working with mood disorders, children and adults, marriage & family issues, and trauma. I look forward to using my experience as a therapist, professor and trainer to hear you and meet your needs.

Hi! I’m a licensed counselor in Indiana and my dream client is motivated to work together to make healthy changes. I specialize in stress management and anxiety related disorders.

Hello, my name is Beau. Thank you for taking the time to read more about me, in order to determine if we are good fit to work together. I attended Indiana Wesleyan for my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. During that time, I enlisted in the United States Military in the Indiana Army National Guard, in an Infantry unit. Later, I attended the Indiana University School of Social Work to receive my Masters in Social Work at Purdue Fort Wayne. My free time is spent with my family, to include my wife and son. We enjoy long walks and just hanging out.

Congratulations for seeking therapy! I am taking referrals and can do so quickly. Many people feel reluctant to seek therapy because of the assumption that you should be able to deal with all problems yourself. Most people experience improvement in mood and anxiety problems as they work with a therapist. I believe I am easy to talk to and listen carefully. I also have over 40 years of experience and have developed skills in a variety of problem areas. If you see me and we establish a plan, you will be in the driver's seat as far as how much you need and how long you need it. AND YES - I offer weekend and evening appointments.

My name is Asra and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience. I truly admire the step you have taken toward improving your mental health. I value each client and I invite you on a journey of self discovery, personal growth and transformation.

Starting therapy can be a difficult decision so I help clients to be candid and open and to approach therapy as a cooperative effort of assessment, planning and treatment. Clients benefit from being understood for how they are at the present time and from respect for the pace at which they wish to work. A careful assessment allows the use of the right therapy approach of the many specific strategies that have been developed in recent years.

Are you experiencing debilitating depression, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts, sleeplessness or body tension that won’t go away no matter what you do? There are times when it is difficult to navigate our journey and a helping hand is needed. I will walk with you to resolve barriers to well-being caused by trauma, mood issues, grief and personal stressors. When working together, you will be given a secure emotional space in which to explore and work on life issues which are important to you.

I offer the option of Office, telephone. and Zoom. I have 36+ years working with clients sorting their thoughts, learning coping skills, and setting boundaries with others. Are you feeling overwhelmed and trying to figure out what to do next? Perhaps you are wanting to make a big life decision or feeling stressed about day to day issues. I also have experience working with adults traumatized as children and victims of violence/ PTSD. I only see virtual counseling clients ages 16+. Please send me an email as I can respond more quickly to this form of communication.

Supporting women's unique needs are a major passion of mine. Clients seek me out to address burnout, work/life balance, parenting challenges, and perinatal mental health needs. Therapists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders experience high levels of stress and often provide a lot of support to others but lack their own support. I step into that gap to help change that. I've been a business owner since 2016 and know how lonely it can feel. I am also highly trained to support adoptees and their families. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families. I am a TBRI Practitioner.

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.

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.

I strive to provide an open, safe, authentic and LGBTQ+ affirming space for individuals to process through life challenges, experiences, stressors, etc. I use a strengths - based, client-centered approach incorporating multiple evidenced based modalities. I have experience working with individuals impacted by cancer, chronic/ life-limiting illnesses, anticipatory grief, grief/loss, relationship concerns, substance abuse, fertility concerns, anxiety, depression, self-identity, trauma and more. It would be an honor and privilege to walk alongside you. Thank you for taking the first step in caring for your mental/emotional health!
