Do you strive for inner peace, miss who you used to be? Do you find yourself struggling in current relationships or the future you set for yourself? What about expectations you thought you should be living up to but they are not happening? Do you find it hard to express your feelings without feeling the need to justify them? Do you find yourself indulging in certain addictions but don't know why. Are you losing a sense of self or your "why" in life? With my 20+ years of experience, I can adapt the best choice of therapy for you and help you find inner peace and together we can fight to overcome those internal struggles with daily life. I believe together we can change our thoughts, feelings and behaviors so we can experience more positive outcomes in life. Happiness is something we create for ourselves. If you struggle with this I would like the opportunity to explore this with you and better help you understand why. Change starts from within, there is hope and together we can make that happen. I have a gentle but direct way of challenging yourself to help you work toward your inner peace. I provide a safe and secure environment to freely express yourself. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor in Indiana.

Hello! I am Beth Aguayo LCSW, and I am a licensed clinical therapist was 17 years of experience. Have you been feeling like you want to do something different in your life lately? Are you unsure about the next choice to make, feeling overwhelmed or more anxious than you would like? Perhaps you're a parent who is finding it hard to balance the many rolls in your life and to solve the challenges of parenting. If any of these situations and feelings sound familiar, it might be a great time to start therapy and I could be a good match for you! I have felt compelled to be a compassionate listener and supporter of others throughout my life. I followed this passion by obtaining my Masters in Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago. Connection, compassion, authenticity, and empathy are the cornerstones of my therapeutic approach. My experiences with children and adolescents have gifted me unique insight and understanding of many parenting issues including, coping with parenting children who struggle with mental health or behavioral difficulties. I enjoy supporting women as they become mothers, cope with infertility, during their pregnancy, or as they manage postpartum depression/anxiety. I have worked with a wide variety of individuals in private practice, school settings, community mental health, and integrated health care settings. Supporting people of any age who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, mood disorder, ADHD, grief, relationship issues, and health related challenges, has been very rewarding. I understand the demands of day-to-day life, demanding schedules, and stress, which many people balance. In order to meet the needs of my clients I offer evening and weekend appointments. I look forward to learning about your life and how I may work with you on your journey.

I am here for your relational needs. I'm your counselor if you want someone who is all about relationships. Relationships can be the most rewarding part of life. They can also be one of the most difficult. Wherever you are in your relationship, I am here to help you thrive. I offer counseling for couples, families and individuals to help with all of life's changes. The reason I focus so much on relationships is because I know the profound effect relationships have on mental health, addiction, trauma. If life is a journey, counseling is a pit stop to overcome issues that arise but relationships are the roads that you navigate to get where you need to go. I can assist by providing support, conflict resolution, and relationship enrichment. I've worked with couples and individuals with relational issues, parenting issues, mental health needs including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Thank you for considering me as your counselor. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you towards your goals.

Are you looking for your life to be different somehow, but you aren't sure exactly what that would look like, let alone how to make it happen? I can help you identify your most pressing issues, then help you identify solutions that you believe will work and support you while you start to implement changes. I believe you are the most likely person to be able to identify your best solutions, and perhaps all you need is encouragement and acceptance to get started. I work from a background of existential theory (the idea that our human experiences are shared and we are all looking for meaning, purpose, satisfying relationships, and personal freedom), and I blend cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), motivational interviewing, radical acceptance, and humor (all techniques proven through research to be effective) into my therapy techniques. I aim to be easy to talk to, an excellent and attentive listener, and always supportive. I recommend helpful assignments in between therapy sessions to help you practice new skills and learn hidden aspects about yourself. I help people who have been codependent on their partner to become empowered to love fully and be loved back. I can help you learn specific techniques to lessen the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. I believe therapy is about helping you look at yourself honestly, building up the things you love about yourself, and helping you improve the things you wish were different.

Congratulations on seeking therapy! Most people who seek therapy or counseling report that they experience an improvement in mood and anxiety. I have also found this to be the case after many years of service. I believe I am easy to talk to and approachable. Therapists are very good listeners and will be honest with you, rather than just agreeing with you or dismissing your opinions. If you see me and we establish a plan, you will be in the driver's seat and will determine how much you need and for how long. Since most of what I am doing involves Telehealth, I ask that you cancel ahead of time if you cannot meet per schedule. I will do this as well. As your therapist, I will: Respect your privacy Respect your schedule Respect your opinions and values Respect the severity and urgency of your difficulties Make myself available when you need assistance Help you find answers and solutions rather than excuses and being “stuck"

Hi there, I'm Farah Ali. I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and dedicated advocate for my clients. My educational foundation is based in psychology and social justice, having earned my master's degree in social work with a dual concentration in community practice and clinical mental health. Driven by a strong commitment to human rights and social justice, I am dedicated to advocating for every individual I work with and the communities I am part of. My Core Principles as a Therapist: Focusing on Strengths & Empowerment: Central to our work is helping you to more deeply connect to—and really use—your inherent strengths. This means looking for growth opportunities where some might find roadblocks and accessing both internal and external resources to help you make the changes you want to see in your life. Working for Comprehensive Wellness: Therapy is a place where we can work toward mental and emotional wellness, learn how to foster positive relationships, and discover a greater sense of balance and ease in your day-to-day life. Promoting Connection & Authenticity: The relationship we have is vital, which is why I work hard to make sure our relationship is a nurturing space for meaningful growth. Creating Safety in Being Seen: I strive to make our sessions a place where every emotion is valued, encouraged, and supported—yes, even the “bad” or “undesirable” emotions. This is the space we cultivate together in our work, and space that is here to help you more deeply see yourself, and be seen in your authenticity.

Now licensed in both Illinois and Indiana! Do you feel stuck or like you have hit rock bottom? Do you feel no one understands or will be able to help you? Do you have difficulty opening up? If you answered “yes” to any of these, you have come to the right provider! I am a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed clinical addiction counselor. I have a BA in Psychology from Purdue University (2003) and a Master's in Social Work from Indiana University (2006). I’ve been practicing since 2006. I have spent 4 years working in private practice settings, 12 years working with DCS/probation clients, 7 years working in the jail setting (5 of those being the clinical supervisor), and have experience as a clinical director in an addiction recovery facility. I have experience working with groups, couples, those who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder (with and without psychotic features), OCD, ADHD, suicidal ideation, crisis intervention, gender issues, parenting issues, stress, self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, codependency, relationship issues, and many more. I have a passion for working with those who have addiction issues. I believe working with those with substance issues takes a certain type of person. I believe substances are like umbrellas protecting one from the raindrops of trauma. For the umbrella to go away, we need to get rid of those raindrops. I will work with you to accomplish this!

Do you often feel overwhelmed with life? Or do you feel that something from your past is keeping you stuck? I can help with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self talk, relationship issues 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 didn’t get into therapy to “fix” people, I use my practice to guide and help find new ways of doing or looking at things. I love being able to track the progress my clients make when they utilize the skills we’ve talked about in session. I use a mix of Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for most cases. For those suffering from PTSD, I use my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training which includes somatic (body) work along with narrative work, all of which is grounded in the neuroscience of trauma. I’m not overly concerned with labels and diagnoses, I’m just here to help you make changes to function and feel better day to day. If you think my approach sounds like it would help you, please reach out and we can schedule our first session to determine if we’ll be a good fit to work together moving forward. I genuinely can’t wait to meet you.

I believe everyone has certain abilities and gifts that lead them to their calling. With that in mind, I became a therapist because I wanted to help people achieve their full potential in a world where too many people feel unsupported and alone. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families and groups who are open to new ways of thinking and being, and motivated to change. Side note: I am an avid sports fanatic (including some unique ones; curling is one of my favorites!), and i am an enthusiastic dog parent. While working with my clients, I strive to provide them a relational space where they feel inspired, encouraged, and empowered to overcome their challenges. I have significant experience and training in Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, and work well with individuals and families dealing with long-term and complex issues.

I have a decade of experience serving patients with various struggles, conditions and adversity has shown that experience is the root of possibility. One of the bravest things you can do is decide that you deserve to define what that possibility is and feel safe embracing it and taking the steps to move forward. You deserve a clinician who can provide a safe and inviting space to explore goals, barriers, and promise of what life could be. Therapy isn't one sided. Therapy is a collaborative effort utilizing experience, reflection and other evidence based interventions to meet your goals and improve your life as a whole. I have been practicing as a therapist and intervention specialist for 13 years. What I can offer clients is a collaborative working relationship, utilizing evidenced based interventions to help reach your goals and imagine what is possible. Just like any relationship it is important that a therapist and client are the right match. I am happy to set up acall to explore if I am the right clinician to help you reach your goals or overcome barriers.

Hello, I'm Melissa. Are you looking for a therapist who understands the challenges of raising a family in today's fast paced and stressful world? Do you find it difficult to feel comfortable talking to others about your real feelings because you don't want to be that vulnerable to anyone else? I help individuals struggling with life balance and stress management. I have experience providing individual therapy to clients struggling with current life stressors due to past traumas. These past traumas can hold one back from moving forward in life and finding happiness. I have experience working with diverse client populations. I have worked with children and adolescents in the Dept. of Child Services system, provided behavior support to individuals with developmental disabilities and have worked inpatient with children with dual diagnoses. I am also a single mother of two amazing children and understand on a personal level the stress of raising children, managing the house and maintaining a career. I enjoy listening to others and helping them find the strengths they did not know they had. Life can be tough at times but having someone to talk through problems with can make the difficult times easier.

Hi, I'm Shannon! As a counselor, it is my top priority to create an environment that fosters a healthy therapeutic alliance. This is the most critical component of client success, and my greatest professional joy. I believe that we already have the answers we are seeking. Using the support of another person to explore oneself and find the answers together is an extraordinary part of the human experience. The habits we develop, no matter how maladaptive, were established to protect us. I strive to help individuals honor the coping mechanisms that were created, while simultaneously recognizing when these habits no longer serve us. You have the capacity to heal.

I believe counseling can be a lot of different things. Sometimes it's about keeping someone company while they're going through a hard time. Sometimes it's processing events from the past or maybe dealing with events that are happening right now. It can also be learning a new skill or different ways to cope. Together, we can decide what you need and work at your pace to address what you feel is the most important. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor in Indiana. I have been in the counseling field for 25 years. I've worked in private practice throughout that time, but have also worked in the criminal justice and community mental health settings. I work primarily with adults using cognitive therapy to help them think about struggles in their life from a different perspective. I love seeing people take back some of the power they feel they've lost to anxiety or helping them see the light at the end of the tunnel in depression or addiction. Taking the first step is one of the hardest, but things can feel better for you.

“When you choose yourself, you show the world what you truly deserve”. Choosing ourselves is not always met with ease, acceptance, or understanding; however, it does not come without reward! Welcome to the other side of life, where healing resides. 😊 I am a self-proclaimed “hope dealer” with a passion for black culture and mental health. I gained unparalleled experience by working collaboratively with child welfare and juvenile justice systems for approximately 8 years. My experience and areas of expertise include but are not limited to, abuse and neglect, post-traumatic stress, race-related trauma and discrimination, challenging strong black woman schema, sexually harmful behaviors, mood and anxiety disorders, challenges with maintaining a positive self-image, and attachment disorders. Driven by ethics, creativity, and humor, I take pride in creating a therapeutic space that resembles a conversation at your kitchen table. Therapy should be an experience that allows you the unique opportunity to regain focus on the part of yourself oftentimes lost in the noise of others. Life, responsibility, and finding matching socks is hard enough, therapy shouldn’t be, too. At least not all the time 😉 I am beyond grateful you chose me to guide you through your healing journey. In the words of Lauryn Hill, “How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within?!” Here’s to no longer having to wonder!

Hey there. I'm Dennis aka Denny Bartsch. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the field for over 15 years. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Strength Based techniques in my practice. I'm a goofy social worker who likes to use a non-confrontational approach to working with my clients. I do believe that you know your story/life better than I ever will so I believe in what you have to say. One thing that makes me pretty different from other service providers is that I saw a need for session times available for clients later in the day and evening so I decided to have my scheduled be from Monday through Friday's from 12:30pm EST to 9pm EST. I hope to accommodate more people this way. I like to use humor and positive support for my client's as we go on this journey together to helping you achieve the goals we identify in session together. My goal is to work towards you having the skills, support, and confidence you need to be successful. I like to think outside of the box when I work with my client's so you just wait and see! Therapy doesn't need to be scary. Let's work together and maybe laugh through some of it. We got this! Together!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Indiana. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary. I have had the opportunity to work in and gain knowledge from a diverse collection of settings that include elementary, middle and high school, hospital chaplaincy department, private practice and private agencies working with families in the child welfare system. Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems. I take a non-judgmental, warm approach to therapy and I believe in tailoring my therapy towards my client's individual needs. Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being. I draw from a multitude of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Clients who work with me have a desire to change. Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult. I am excited that you are here and look forward to taking this journey alongside you.

Women come to me looking for someone who "gets" what happened to them on a deeper level, because therapy should be a place where you feel safe & validated. Sessions are about more than just talking; we incorporate both your mind & body, so you can experience wholeness again. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to places you don't feel ready to be. Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends who can't understand, or guilt over what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn't feel like this. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to enjoy deep relationships without your past getting in the way. You're ready to wake up each morning with a purpose. Most of all, you're ready to love yourself again & face your future with a sense of hope.

Nice to meet you, I'm Natalie. Are you searching for relief from an eating disorder, mood disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder? Are you living with the long-term effects of trauma, a disordered relationship with food or a negative body image? I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and commonly co-occurring disorders and issues such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, complex trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. I approach my work with the acknowledgment that eating disorders or disordered eating can be present in individuals of any shape, size, gender, sexual identity, or racial or ethnic group. I work with each of my clients to discover their unique story about how and why the disorder developed and the purpose it served. Together we use compassionate exploration to move forward into recovery and a healthy, balanced relationship with yourself and others.
