Therapists in Indiana

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.

Hello, I'm Dr. Kimberly Yazell, PhD, LCSW, LCAC. As the wife of a combat veteran and the mother to our blended family of five young adults, I understand the complexities and joys of family life. Born and raised in Indianapolis, IN, I embarked on my educational journey at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in General Studies Behavioral Sciences in 2001. I continued my studies at Indiana University School of Social Work, receiving my Master of Social Work degree in 2006, and later achieved my PhD in Addictions Psychology from Capella University in 2022. Since 2006, I have dedicated myself to working as a therapist, specializing in areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma, combat trauma, family issues, military family issues, LGBTQIA2S+ support, and addiction issues. My experience spans both adolescent and adult populations, allowing me to connect with a diverse range of clients. Family is incredibly important to me. As a parent to LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, I understand firsthand the importance of acceptance and love. My husband and I have always embraced our children, and this strong familial bond is something I strive to help other families achieve. Building a foundation of trust, communication, and love is at the heart of my therapeutic work.

I believe everyone has certain abilities and gifts that lead them to their calling.

I’m also dedicated to supporting the family members and loved ones of those struggling with addiction or incarceration, helping them navigate their own emotional journeys with compassion and care. Additionally, I work closely with parents and families of children with complex behavioral issues, providing guidance and support to help them create a nurturing environment for their child’s growth and well-being. In addition to this, I have experience helping clients through significant life transitions, such as starting a family, navigating college, or going through a divorce.

I’m committed to walking alongside my clients and their families as they navigate these difficult transitions, offering understanding and support every step of the way.
