Hi there — I’m Sydney! I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Indianapolis, where I also minored in psychology. My master’s concentration was in Integrated Behavioral Health Systems, which is a fancy way of saying I pay attention to how all the different parts of our lives — relationships, work, family, physical health, stress, past experiences, and environment — interact with one another. That systems perspective still shapes the way I approach therapy today because life RARELY happens in neat, separate categories. I’ve worked with clients of all ages, but I especially enjoy working with people who are willing to lean into the uncomfortable parts of growth. Therapy with me includes equal parts humor and hard conversations. My style is direct, honest, and grounded — no Pinterest quotes or sprinkling glitter over hard things. I’m here to offer honest feedback, practical support, and a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I often describe therapy as unpacking an overstuffed suitcase you’ve been dragging around for years. Together, we take things out piece by piece, figure out what still serves you, what never should’ve been yours to carry, and organize it in a way that feels manageable instead of chaotic. I like to think of it as hiring a professional emotional organizer. Through exploring trauma, relationships, patterns, and life stressors, we work toward helping you move forward with more clarity and less weight. I work full-time in private practice and love helping people navigate relationships, untangle life’s chaos, and find ways forward that actually feel sustainable. I’ll likely always have a cup of coffee nearby, and my furry emotional support sidekick, Henry Jo, quietly judging your choices from the corner (though he may judge less harshly if you bring a tennis ball to session).

So, here we are. Life’s a bit of a mess, isn’t it? Maybe it feels like you’re starring in a horror movie, except no one handed you the script. I’m Kandace Barkham, and I help people like you. Those who are over the empty platitudes and ready for real change. I have an LCSW/LCADC. I hold a BSW and an MSSW from the Kent School. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s going to sit back, nod silently, and sprinkle some feel-good phrases your way… well, that’s not me. I’m here to help you actually get unstuck, and yes, we might even laugh at the absurdity of it all along the way. Let’s cut through the nonsense: trauma, addiction, mental health issues. they suck. But you know what sucks more? Pretending like everything’s fine and letting them control your life. Together, we’ll work through the heavy stuff. We’ll get into the mess, sort it out, and figure out how you can finally breathe a little easier. Therapy with me isn’t some endless loop of “and how does that make you feel?” It’s a collaborative process where I bring my expertise to the table, and you bring your courage to face what’s been holding you back.

Are you ready to make a change? I'm Cheri Counterman, LCSW. I've been working as a therapist and medical social worker for over a decade. I've worked with clients who have had a wide range of concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, and many more. For therapeutic modalities, I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) but also utilize other forms of therapy like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Person-Centered Therapy. I am passionate about learning new therapeutic skills and attend yearly trainings to stay on top of new evidence-based therapies to help my clients. I know that asking for help can be one of the most vulnerable things we do as humans. That's why it's so important to me to make sure your time with me is as comfortable as possible. My goal is to create an open, safe space where you can feel supported in whatever you need from me. I believe that all people are valuable and deserve love and support no matter what they've been through. Everyone has their own unique story and journey through life; my job is not only to listen but also to help guide you toward healing your mind, body and spirit so that you can live the life you're meant to live!

Sometimes life can feel like a Rubik’s Cube in your mind- complicated, overwhelming, and impossible to solve on your own. That’s where I come in!

My passion is helping adults recover from trauma, whether rooted in childhood or more recent experiences. I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating trauma, anxiety, codependency, attachment challenges, addictions, and personality disorders, and I work alongside each client to create a path forward that feels both empowering and hopeful.

I work with high-performing professionals who are exhausted from carrying too much responsibility for too long. Many of my clients are leaders, healthcare providers, executives, and driven individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally depleted behind the scenes. Before becoming a full-time therapist, I served in senior healthcare leadership roles, including Regional Vice President. I understand the pressure of performance plans, regulatory scrutiny, organizational instability, and the silent weight of being the person everyone else depends on. In therapy, we focus on restoring clarity, rebuilding emotional resilience, and addressing the root causes of anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress. My approach integrates evidence-based cognitive and trauma-informed interventions with practical, real-world strategies that support both professional and personal stability. If you are a high-achieving individual who feels stuck, overextended, or quietly unraveling under pressure, you are not weak. You are overloaded. Together, we will recalibrate your nervous system, strengthen your internal narrative, and restore sustainable performance without sacrificing your well-being.

Something brought you here today. Maybe it's the exhaustion of always being on edge, or a sense that your body hasn't felt safe in a very long time. Whatever it was, I'm glad you followed it. I'm a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Indiana and Montana. I've spent my career walking alongside people through some of life's most complicated terrain: trauma, identity, nervous system overwhelm, and the quiet grief that comes from feeling like you've never quite fit. My work is rooted in somatic and relational approaches, which means we pay attention not just to your thoughts and story, but to what your body has been carrying. Healing isn't only a cognitive process. It lives in the nervous system, and I'll help you learn to work with yours. I specialize in trauma, particularly the kind rooted in childhood, relationships, and the experience of moving through the world in a brain that works differently. I work with neurodivergent adults who are discovering and exploring later in life that there's always been a name for the way their mind works. For many, this realization brings both relief and grief. And parents of neurodivergent children who are stretched thin and searching for steadier ground. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I don't take lightly the courage it takes to reach out. My goal is simple: to create a space where you feel genuinely understood. Not managed, not diagnosed, just met. I'm so glad you're here.

Looking for coping skills to manage frequent daily stressors, previous trauma, depression or anxiety? I've been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) for 23 years and have had a variety of different roles in the behavioral health field. I believe my personal and employment experiences over the years helps to inform the way I am with clients. While I work mostly with adult individuals at this time, I'm skilled in relationship dynamics and work a lot with individuals who are also involved in therapy with their spouse or significant other. Sometimes individual therapy is required to address personal issues which impact the relationship. Reaching out for help or trying therapy for the first time can be stressful for some due to past trauma, fear of vulnerability, trust issues, the unknown, etc. If you've made it this far, I'm glad you're pushing through the uncomfortableness in hopes of finding new skills or techniques to help improve your current situation. **I'm licensed in IL, IN, and NM.**

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just needing a safe place to share life's challenges, you're home! Your present circumstances don't have to determine where you go; they determine where you start. My approach to client care is strengths and evidence based, client-centered, trauma-informed and individualized. I have significant training in DBT and also utilize CBT, MI and ACT approaches to client care. I have been providing therapy services for over 12 years. I took a break to raise a family and so I don't just offer professional skills, I offer "real life" wisdom and experience. You have permission to be fully vulnerable. For clients who desire it, I am very comfortable integrating faith into the therapeutic process. I work with adults 18 years and older, who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, low self-esteem, grief and relationship issues. I also have significant experience working with substance use. My goal is to create a safe place for clients to experience support and healing. Shame dies when stories are told in safe places. If you are feeling weary, wounded and wondering if healing is possible, I invite you to try therapy. Taking the first step is often the most challenging. You are worthy and deserving of a life worth living, not just surviving. You are not measured by what holds you captive but rather by what sets you free. Come join me! I cannot wait to meet with you!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health challenges, and OCD. Many of my clients are high-functioning—they’re used to managing everything on their own, but feel overwhelmed by overthinking, intrusive thoughts, or constant stress. I take a warm, supportive, and practical approach, using evidence-based therapies like CBT and ERP to help you better understand your patterns and build skills that actually work in your day-to-day life. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood while helping you make meaningful, lasting changes so you can feel more calm, confident, and in control.

In my work as a therapist, I have refined my approach to treatment and therapy, working within a Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Existential Therapy approach.

I am excited to work with you as a client to achieve the goals you have for yourself in this journey. Recently, I have renewed my love of just reading for fun with no expectations and if free-time came more frequently, I would be reading a new book each week.

Looking through endless therapist profiles can be exhausting when you're already struggling. Let me make this simple: I don't sugarcoat things. I'm here to actively work with you, not just listen and nod like a sounding board. Working together, we can actually change what's not working by developing practical skills that are effective and easy to use. I've witnessed countless journeys of growth and healing and I believe wholeheartedly in your capacity for change. I work well with all kinds of people, and I especially click with gamers, students, and musicians - shared interests tend to lead to a better therapeutic connection. I collaborate with my clients to develop goals and plans to meet those goals by working to understand what motivates you and pushes you to grow and change. I have a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

Hello! My name is Laura Lininger, LCSW. I attended Indiana University and got my BA in Psychology and then moved on to Tulane University in NOLA for my Masters in Social Work. I have worked for many years doing child and adolescent therapy and then later added working with adults to the services I provide. I believe my child and adolescent therapy background has been a great foundation for working with adults who are dealing with childhood trauma or family of origin issues. As for treatment approaches, I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR. I also include a lot of mindfulness practice in my work with clients. I am proud to provide a safe environment for all races, genders, religions, and clients from the LGBTQ community.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is EMDR and FLASH trained. I bring warmth and compassion into each session. My goal is to provide a space that fosters self-reflection, vulnerability, and self-connection. It takes courage to seek help when your mental health is struggling, and you have already taken the first step. I look forward to walking alongside you as you begin on your path to healing and growth. I bring several passions into the field of counseling. I have enjoyed working with adults of all ages and have also worked alongside students, both in the roles of educator and coach at the grade school and intercollegiate levels. Whether in school, on the playing field, or in life, we bring our whole selves into the experience. Life requires much of us, and it is important to acknowledge and care for the wounded parts of ourselves that have endured various traumas, pain, grief, and loss. I have spent the last nearly 20 years of my life as a coach, educator, and counselor. I completed my undergraduate degree with a BS in English Education and completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In my spare time, I enjoy running, hiking, cheering for the Chicago Bears, quality time with friends and family, reading, and listening to music.

I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with experience in working with adults and children from in-patient as well as out-patient settings. I have worked with teenagers and young children for over 12 years. I specialize in working with children with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have a heart for working with kids and teens with traumatic experiences. My passion began while I was still in high school and wanted to be a teacher. I worked in various daycare facilities as well as having my own in-home daycare and decided I wanted to help kids (and adults) in a more in-depth manner. That is when I began my journey into social work and found my true calling in life. I have experience working with children and adolescents who have been through, or are currently in, the child welfare system as well as working with older teens with substance abuse/misuse issues.

You can call me Dan. From a young age I was interested in a career that focused on helping people. I smile when I think about it, but there was a time I thought a career in medicine was what I wanted but I am so bad at math that didn't work out very well. There was a time I thought I was being called into ministry as a pastor, and I wanted to be a pastor that could counsel, but circumstances didn't allow that to happen either. Maybe it's ironic and maybe it's not but I'm not really that much of a talker so I never dreamed that becoming a therapist would be my thing. But then again, therapy is a lot about listening and I do that really well. I enjoy helping others move from places of frustration, and sometimes despair to places of hope and healing. I have always been taught that people deserve respect and to be treated with dignity regardless of what their issue is or where they come from and that is a value I continue to hold. I also find it interesting that the three careers I pursued had their focus in the three things I still believe are important for a life of fulfillment, purpose, and contentment and those are physical health, spiritual health and mental health. I received a Masters of Divinity degree in 1991, a Masters in Social Work degree in 1996 and my License as a Clinical Social Worker in 1997. I went back to school in 2016 and obtained a MBA in Healthcare Management in 2017. My 30 year career in mental health has been split between providing clinical services, supervising others in their provision of clinical services and administration in the area of Healthcare Quality and Compliance.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
