Welcome! My name is Louise, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am licensed in both Indiana and Florida; I earned my Master's in Social Work (MSW) from Indiana University. I have been practicing for over six years, primarily with individuals with substance use disorders, complex trauma, and life stressors. Additionally, I have experience working with maternal mental health and I am working on my PMH-C (perinatal mental health certification). I strive to create a welcoming environment when working together and enjoy getting to know the real you, without judgement.
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what your personal goals are for working together. We will also review any questions about practice policies, confidentiality, privacy, treatment approach, and service fees.
I am passionate about maternal mental health, substance use recovery, and overall life stressors. I strive to create a warm and compassionate environment when working together. I deeply value a trusting relationship and feeling safe and supported.
Utilizing trauma informed care creates a culture that is safe, understanding, empowering, and healing.
Everyone has strengths and I will assist you in discovering your strengths to utilize in healing.
