Therapists in Indiana

There are many reasons people seek out counseling, but the underlying reasons are that we are looking for change, meaning, or healing. Whatever your individual needs may be, I commend you for taking the first steps in addressing your situation head-on. Each client is unique, and therefore, there is no one right approach that may work best for everyone. Because of this, I use a trauma-informed integrative style to give you, the client, space to be yourself in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.

Our team of five therapists and two medication management providers is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality mental health options. We provide therapy and medication management on your terms and we strive to create a powerful therapeutic connection to help guide you on the path to achieve the life you want. Whether you want to learn techniques to manage anxiety and depression or improve your communication and relationships, we are here to work alongside you to reach your goals. We work with children, teens, adults, families, new parents, and couples using the most effective, evidence-based therapies to meet your needs.

Are you feeling stressed, lost, or on edge? Maybe you can't pinpoint the reason why and do not know how to decrease these feelings. Maybe you want to create a change in your life and do not know where to begin. I am here with the hope we can work through life's challenges and changes together in a nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, seen, and supported.

Are you looking to recover your life? Develop joy and peace? Resolve the pain? Improve your social and relationship skills? Would you like to discover your true heart and live with purpose and meaning? I would like to assist you in reaching your goals. I meet with all my clients online and offer convenient afternoon and evening hours. Online therapy eliminates commute time. Here are some authors and organizations that influence my style of therapy: Life Model Works; John Townsend; Henry Cloud; Transformation Prayer Ministry; Joy Starts Here; Prepare-Enrich; Dr. Daniel Amen.

Do you want to experience more happiness, peace and joy in your life? It is possible to create the life you want and envision. So, if you are experiencing anxiety, a current or past trauma or relationship issues, I will help you learn how to manage your emotions, work through the pain and hurt and let go of the past. I specialize in improving self-worth, helping couples and families resolve conflicts and develop powerful communication skills, effective parenting strategies, making life transitions, grief and loss, reducing anxiety and working through trauma. Most importantly, I instill hope and help you step into and create possibilities.

When I first meet with clients, I really try to communicate how important it is to me that they feel they are being accepted and helped from a non-judgmental stance on my part. I hope that I am able to place my clients at ease to be open and share very personal experiences that can be of a very sensitive nature. By creating a relationship where clients feel comfortable that I will not be shocked, judgmental, or offended by their experiences, we can instead seek to explore how these experiences impact their own life and relationships.

I am a licensed psychologist, practicing since 2002 in East Central Indiana. My clients know me as "Sharon or Dr. Sharon" as I am not especially formal. Originally trained in the area of child & adolescent assessment and treatment, ages 3-21, I now consider myself a generalist with eclectic treatment approaches. I see children and teens and their families; and adults of all ages. My goal is to make each person I see comfortable so they may find their personal strengths to face and overcome whatever difficulty brings them into my office.

My work is focused on the here and now, and how to be gentle and kind with ourselves and others. So when we talk about the past we will deal with what you feel now. This helps people learn new ways of regulating emotions so they work for you rather than against you. I take Anthem, Medicare, and Tricare insurance. I work with depression, anxiety, addictions, couples counseling, coping with chronic illness, problems of aging, and military issues.

I provide a supportive non-judgemental environment for individuals wanting positive change in their lives. I offer ongoing therapy and short-term consultation services to assess causes of distress and discuss treatment options that help improve daily functioning. My practice connects women's health and mental health. Areas of interest include: cognitive behavioral approaches to changing eating behaviors, binge eating, depression and anxiety. I incorporate interpersonal psychotherapy, mindfulness, DBT and cognitve behavioral therapy into treatment. I have received training on CBT and CBT-E from the Beck Institute in Philadelphia and Dr. Christopher Fairburn and DBT training thru Lane Peterson.

People come to therapy when they have unresolved issues, problems making decisions, feel their life/feelings have become overwhelming. These issues may be associated with any number of things such as; relationships, employment, infertility, college, medical problems, or grief and loss. People in society today are seeking support, information, guidance and self-knowledge. Therapy can be a useful tool that can help with a range of issues.

I believe that mental health is an important part of overall health and happiness. Each person has the ability to commit to and foster positive change in their lives. I always strive to work with each client as an individual, fostering their strengths and building healthy coping skills, insight, and empowering courage for change. I am passionate about women's health and issues. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

Welcome and thank you for reviewing my profile. Many people do not realize the potential benefits of therapy when struggling with life transitions, problems, or decisions. Often, time passes while the burden of carrying these difficulties remain and become heavier. I believe in a collaborative, strength-based approach that is solution-focused and goal-directed. I work towards instilling hope that change is possible and attainable and my role as a therapist is to assist you in making change happen.

Are you feeling run-down, overwhelmed, or numb? Do you feel 'just blah' most of the time? This is such a painful experience, and you are not alone. We are conditioned as children to do and be what we are 'supposed to,' and this can become destructive to our mental health as adults.

My intention as a holistic therapist is to help facilitate what I believe our purpose here is on earth, which is to become the best versions of ourselves. I help you process and work through traumas, toxic relationships, addictions, and/or poor coping skills that prevent you from becoming your best self. I use a combination of treatment modalities to custom fit your needs. I utilize EMDR, person centered, CBT, DBT, systems and attachment theory to facilitate the healing process. I also incorporate mind, body and spirit modalities to encourage a holistic transformation. I look forward to meeting with you!

It can be challenging to take the first step to reach out for help. My hope is you will find my approach gentle, collaborative, and healing. I work with couples and individuals who are struggling to connect with each other and themselves. My office is a place to practice safe connection and emotional processing so that you can continue to have secure relationships and better emotional health for the rest of your life.

I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and adults with mild to severe mental health needs, to assist in managing day to day life.

I see clients from all walks of life dealing with many different struggles and issues. I find most people are often just trying to manage the stresses of everyday life, overcome negative habits, or find closure and peace with past trauma. Often they just want to find new and better ways to cope or be able to change how they think and feel.
