My name is Denise and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I began my adult life as a high school drop-out. After earning my GED, I went on to earn an Associates in Early Childhood Education and an Associates in Human Services. I then went to get my Bachelor of Science in Human Services and then my Master's in Social Work. I am where I am at, because I had someone believe in me more than I believed in myself. I never forget where I came from and how important it is to believe in others, especially when they are having a difficult time believing in themselves.

I’m Phillip, a therapist dedicated to helping people grow a life they can feel proud of—often while navigating heavy pressure. I do this work to express my passion for supporting others as they untangle complex expectations and cultivate a value-fueled, authentic life.

As a Flex-Care Counselor, I strive to provide compassionate, client-centered support to individuals and families facing emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My role is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe that every individual has unique strengths and the capacity for growth and change. As a counselor, I focus on helping clients recognize those strengths while developing practical coping skills that support emotional well-being and resilience. My approach is holistic, meaning I consider the emotional, mental, social, and sometimes spiritual aspects of a person’s life when supporting their healing process. In my work as a Flex-Care Counselor, I use a variety of evidence-based counseling approaches depending on each client’s needs. These may include cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused methods, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help clients better understand their thoughts and behaviors, manage stress and emotions, and build healthier relationships. I also value collaboration and respect the client’s personal values, culture, and life experiences. I see counseling as a partnership where the client and counselor work together to identify goals, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change. Ultimately, who I am as a Flex-Care Counselor is someone committed to supporting others with empathy, professionalism, and dedication. I aim to empower clients with the tools and confidence they need to navigate life’s challenges and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling future.

I specialize in trauma recovery and a deeper understanding of grief, one that recognizes that loss isn’t just about death, but about any life-altering change that leaves a void. Trauma doesn’t just live in the past, it lives in our dreams, our bodies, and the gaps in our memories. If you are experiencing ‘forgotten’ memories, bad dreams, or the aftermath of sexual abuse, you don’t have to carry that weight alone. Whether your pain feels loud or like a quiet, persistent void, I provide a compassionate space to process these "invisible" wounds.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

I’m a licensed therapist with extensive experience helping individuals work through substance use, anxiety, emotional regulation, and major life changes. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and make meaningful, lasting changes. My style is supportive, direct, and focused on helping you move forward in a way that aligns with your goals.

Hey there! My name is Lindsay, and I have been a mental health clinician for 10 years, working as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2018.

I think it is most important to build a meaningful relationship with clients, that allows for sharing, growth, and personal empowerment. I have a laid-back approach to therapy and do my best to meet clients where they are with attention to unique needs. Outside of my clinical work in mental health, I am an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Ball State University. I completed my PhD in 2024 focusing on increasing awareness of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how we may build better therapeutic interventions for this population.

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my nearly twenty years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My primary focus is on helping you deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I try and help you be okay with things that are beyond your control and work with you to establish yourself as the protagonist in your own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.
