Welcome! I am so glad you have taken the first step in your healing journey. The path to mental wellness is often less challenging than you may think. It helps to have someone to partner with along this path. With the right tips, tools, and action; mental wellness can be achieved. By creating a safe environment, I am able to assist people with opening up and exploring core issues, current obstacles and how to avoid roadblocks along the way. We will focus on how to use emotions to work for you, rather than against you. In doing so, you create your own path to achieving and sustaining mental well-being. We all share the desire to “feel better.” But often times we lack understanding of how to get there, lack maintaining consistency on getting there, or lack the support needed in getting there. If you are ready to reverse negative patterns, find healthy coping and focus personal development in ways that you have desired, please reach out. You don’t have to do this alone. We can start this journey together!

My name is Molly Pennell and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in Indiana. I have been working with individuals and families for 10 years in varying roles in community mental health. I have been working as a Licensed Social Worker for 3 years and have offered therapy to adults and adolescents. I believe everyone has internal and external strengths that can offer resilience during life’s most difficult challenges. I have spent time with several different populations of people in many different stages of life, all experiencing a challenge of some kind. One common theme I often see is the need for hope and connection. In my practice, it is important to build trust with individuals and incorporate hope, connection, and support as they pull from their strengths and work toward their goals. I believe in a strengths-based approach and can offer experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Polyvagal Therapy, and connecting to and navigating systems of care and resources.

Life can be so challenging, and sometimes we can seem to lose our way – getting lost in the spinning, the confusion, the uncertainty. Emotions can feel like they spiral or swing so rapidly that it can feel difficult to find stable ground, let alone direction for our lives. Maybe you have experienced this – that shift between anxiety & depression & irritability – that sense of feeling lost or struggling to see a way forward in your life. Working with adults and seniors over the past 15 years, in inpatient settings, intensive outpatient treatment, and individual therapy, I am an empathetic ear and a believer that growth and change are always possible, no matter how lost we may feel.

Welcome! I hope to walk alongside you during your journey to holistic wellness. I understand that life’s circumstances can redirect our desired purpose. Could yesterday’s trauma unknowingly, and unconsciously keep you in a state of maladaptive feelings such as low self-esteem, anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, or perfectionism?

My aim is to empower you to get better acquainted with SELF, and to reimagine and redirect your life without the effects of past trauma being your compass. I specialize in assisting those who suffer with trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, gambling disorder, self-esteem, personality disorders, and divorce related issues. I endorse the psychosocial development theory, and the psychoanalytic theory, which often lends to how individuals are often shaped by childhood experiences and trauma. I offer a safe space for you to talk about hard topics, and a space specifically for you to be you. My idea client is one who realizes that change starts with him/ her.
