Hi! For 9 years, I've walked alongside people healing from trauma, anxiety, and stress—helping them go from surviving to actually feeling like themselves again. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic, specializing in EMDR and IFS. I work with individuals navigating major life transitions, relationship struggles, and the weight of trying to hold everything together while feeling like they're falling apart inside. Therapy with me isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you—it's about helping you understand yourself more deeply and building tools that actually stick. If you're ready for a space where real change happens, I'd love to help you find that, no matter what season you're in.

My name is Swan Roberts. I am a licensed therapist, LCSW (licensed clinical social worker). As of now my earliest evening appt availability is 3pm. I love helping people through my work and I have been doing this for 6 years. I decided to become a therapist because I had a therapist that helped me ease through the transition of getting out medically from active duty army service, which inspired me to follow this career path. It takes courage to make the decision of facing the things that are causing you turmoil, including trauma, and I am glad you are here. I look forward to meeting you and help you transform your life through healing evidence based interventions: EMDR, IFS, SE, & CBT. After trauma, you may be overthinking, hypervigilant, anxious in relationships, struggling with people pleasing, and not feeling confident or competent even if you can rationalize that you are. With EMDR, IFS, and SE, I can help you trust yourself and feel more calm believing your resiliency and strength, to live your life fully. It is truly rewarding helping people heal from trauma, to see their lives, and relationships transform as symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder are replaced by confidence, security, empathy, and compassion. It is possible to heal and enjoy your life again, even for the first time.

My goal isn't just to help you navigate challenges, but to help you build a stronger, more authentic connection to your life. I'm here to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you discover a greater sense of peace and well-being.

I believe that when someone seeks therapy, they are reaching out because they want to move forward, feel less stuck, or find new ways to live well. I hold deep conviction that a meaningful, valued life is possible for anyone—even in the presence of disability, chronic pain or illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, or overwhelming life stress. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative space where we can discover the right pace and rhythm for facing those challenges: sometimes steady and gentle, sometimes more active and focused, always tailored to the person in front of me.

Hello, my name is Ronak Makadia, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.) with additional training in social work (MSW). As a second-generation, Asian American I quickly learned the stigma and shame attached to attending therapy, especially within the Asian American community. As a cis-gender woman of color, I value and will provide culturally competent services. Please note that I only accept adults and older adults who are high-functioning but need support to overcome barriers. Due to the nature of my private practice, I am unable to accept clients who are seeking treatment for trauma, substance use or severe mental illness. I work alongside patients to overcome any barriers they may be facing. I will always encourage you to create, learn, and consistently use healthy coping mechanisms. To avoid staying stuck, I collaborate with you in developing solutions to aid you in moving forward in your life. We all get stuck sometimes and I am here to help. Therapy does not have to be a painful experience and I will be here to guide you toward improvement in a welcoming, affirmative environment. I support the movement to destigmatize therapy and make mental health care accessible for all. I will continue to support this mission and provide quality counseling. Talk to me about scheduling a first appointment if you are interested in working together. I look forward to working with you!

If you've been holding everything together for a long time and quietly wondering why something still feels missing — you're in the right place. I work with women ages 13+ and couples who want somewhere honest to land. Not a place to perform, or explain yourself perfectly, or leave the hard parts at the door. One client told me, "This is where the ugly me can come out." She was right. Bring all of you. Unfiltered. I became a therapist because I believe people are worth fighting for. Including the parts of you that you've written off, hidden, or learned to manage instead of heal. The way I work is called Internal Family Systems, or IFS. In plain terms: I'm not here to fix you or tell you what's wrong with you. The anxiety, the people-pleasing, the shutting down, the self-criticism — those aren't flaws. They're parts of you that showed up to protect something tender. We get curious about them instead of fighting them. My faith shapes how I see you: as someone with real worth, real capacity for change, and a story that isn't over. How much it shows up in session is completely up to you. Some clients want faith woven all the way through. Others just want to know their whole self is welcome. Either way, you belong here. I'm licensed in Indiana and Michigan and I see clients virtually. If that gives you pause, here's the truth: it works. No commute, no waiting room, just real conversation.

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.

My path to becoming a mental health provider has been deeply influenced by both my personal background and my professional experiences. Growing up, I was surrounded by the work of my mother, who was a social worker. I saw firsthand the impact she had on individuals and families, and it inspired me to pursue a similar career. I was always drawn to the idea of helping others navigate difficult circumstances and providing support during times of crisis or transition. Her work shaped my understanding of the value of compassion, empathy, and practical intervention in improving lives. As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping individuals manage the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of these life adjustments. I take a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, emphasizing empathy and understanding. My methods are tailored to each person’s unique experiences and challenges. Over time, we’ll work together to deepen your self-awareness, develop coping mechanisms, and create practical tools for managing the ups and downs of life.

Hello! My name is Trevor Sowders, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many walks of life, providing treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, and life transitions. My approach is flexible and collaborative—I tailor each session to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I began my career studying neuroscience but soon realized I wanted to work directly with people rather than the lab’s “less talkative” test subjects. That curiosity about how the brain works now informs my therapy practice, where I combine science-based approaches with empathy and practicality. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Whether you’re processing trauma, managing anxiety, or working through a major life transition, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward growth and balance—all while staying grounded, approachable, and respectful of your values, culture, and beliefs.

I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University (IUPUI) and Social Work/Business undergraduate degrees from Valparaiso University. I have been practicing for over ten years. Before that time, I was a self-employed business owner in the field of software sales and consulting. I work in community mental health and addictions, serving a population struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. I mainly work with adults and adolescents. My focus is on creating a safe space to collaborate in the therapeutic experience; helping you to feel better faster!
