Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I facilitate the spiritual, mental and emotional healing process through talk therapy. The focus of most of my adult life has been to be a skilled helper to people in need. As I moved through my theological training, I realized that, often, others needed deeper support than "church" alone could give. I pursued further education to become a clinical counselor to meet those needs. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including, outpatient community mental health, inpatient/outpatient substance abuse/addiction, sex offender therapy in the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, mental health professional in the Florida Department of Corrections, inpatient and day treatment of chronically mentally ill, and private practice. I believe my gift, in the counseling relationship, is that I help others see things for themselves. I also have a Christian world view which informs my interaction with others. I am a compassionate, non judgmental, "Wounded healer". Yes, I have had to negotiate life's struggles like anyone else. So, it is not just an academic exercise with me. I offer compassionate support while we work through your mental health issues including, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, fear, grief, loss, codependency, and self esteem issues.

Did you know that most people don't initially consider counseling to help them with problems? Perhaps you have already spoken with friends, family, co-workers, or a respected religious/spiritual leader in your community. Perhaps those you’ve talked with don’t truly understand your perspective, or maybe they understand you, but they don’t know how to help. I’ve had these kinds of experiences myself over the years, and they led me to seek counseling for my own growth. In doing so, I have reaped the benefits for myself that have also improved my relationships, so I know how powerful it can be. My foundation of caring rests on four pillars; 1) recognizing a person’s worth, 2) honoring their trust, 3) maintaining a non-judgmental posture and 4) valuing curiosity. I have built upon that foundation with formal training as a mental health counselor, years of diverse clinical experiences using evidence-based practices to help people heal and grow, and a finally a PhD. Counseling is both science and art, and I recognize and appreciate both. So whether you are struggling with the challenges of day-to-day living, facing a new season of life, reeling from a significant loss, or have a diagnosable mental health condition, I am here to help on your journey to healing. I specialize in working with men's issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, codependency, sexual addictions, substance use disorders, and integrating spirituality/faith into counseling. I also have a working knowledge of psychopharmacology because many of my clients have been on medications in addition to therapy, but I do not prescribe medications. It takes courage to reach out for help, but it is truly worth it. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’ll be here to join you.

I work with all ages in private practice regarding many different concerns anything from: severe mental illness, complex trauma, PTSD, struggling with life changes or direction, family related distress, Parenting and developmental concerns, and couples counseling to name a few. Over the past 10 years I have worked with students (K-12) in a school setting as well, tackling again many different concerns such as: ADHD, Autism, mood disorders, family concerns, bullying, LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, and more.

I firmly believe that a good relationship (therapeutic alliance) between the counselor and client is essential for a successful outcome. I work very hard to respect these truths and provide the help that is needed in a very authentic and genuine way.

Relationships are important. They can bring us joy, and connection, and opportunities to grow. You talk to friends and loved ones, you spend time with them, and you likely do caring things for them. And, how much time do you spend deepening your relationship with yourself? Do you pay attention to how you talk to yourself, how you spend time with yourself, how you care for your Self? It is my experience both personally and professionally that when we spend time working on our relationship with Self, not only do we become happier, and more peaceful internally- our external relationships with others improve as well. Would you like to work on your relationship with yourself? Let’s do it!

I am Becka Oberle and I am a licensed Clinical social worker who has worked in the counseling field for 30 plus years. My approach to my work is very client centered but also engage person to person allowing my clients to feel more comfortable while still creating a therapeutic relationship and environment. I am goal focused and like to always I provide actions and tools for my clients so they are making continuous growth. I have used many tools in my career knowing not everyone connects in the same way and thinking outside the box is vital. In my career 3 of my dogs have worked with me as trained therapy dogs and one of my horses worked with me doing equine therapy. I look at each person as an individual and use their strengths and talents to help them learn to express and walk through life's struggles. I find not everyone is most comfortable with talking or writing so will encourage a client to use a drawing journal to express feelings when that is something they enjoy and feel more confident in using. I am a christian based counselor and will, at client request, use a faith based approach that can add an added support for the client. I am so blessed to have had this as my career and have worked with clients of all ages starting my career on the cancer center a Riley hospital for Children, moving to a locked unit with juvenile offenders ages 5-11, equine assisted therapy for at risk teens, to working with seniors in long term care or living at home. I am now doing my work from home making the progression as people have been given this as a source of support and allowing them to get help from home.

Hi there- my name is Dan. I would be happy to work with you! Are you at a point in your life where you are overwhelmed and seem to be stuck? It happens to all of us at times. Are you experiencing loss of motivation, struggling with sadness, obssessive thoughts, or anxiety? Are you experiencing consistent conflicts in close relationships, with parenting, or having difficulty communicating with your partner? Together- we can identify what is not working and find ways to get your life back in balance. I teach clients how to build happiness and focus on accurate cognitions and realistic expectations instead of allowing anxious thoughts to ruin your day/week. Resolving these issues reduces stress and worry, increases your productivity at work and enables your relationships to be more satisfying again. I conduct EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) sessions and consistently see clients experience relief from trauma memories. Starting therapy can be scary but you are making a choice to help yourself. You deserve a space to heal, feel safe and grow. I'll treat you with compassion, warmth, and empathy and use evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the patterns and habits that keep you stuck

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Indiana rather than a city like Indianapolis?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Indiana from Fort Wayne to Evansville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Indiana.

Will my therapist take AvMed?

Yes! If you use AvMed you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have AvMed you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Spirituality?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Spirituality, is filtering therapists in Indiana that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

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.
