Hello! My name is Gabriella and I am a marriage and family therapist. I currently live in Indiana. I have been in mental health since 2011 starting out in behavioral therapy working with autistic children. Currently, I am an outpatient therapist who focuses on individuals, families and couples.
I have worked in outpatient and residential settings with my main clientele being children and adolescents. Currently my practice focuses on couples and individuals over the age of 18.
My passion is in helping others improve their own lives and working towards their individual goals by encouraging and helping them to 'take back their power' and feel more confident in making decisions.
I like to use a more conversational style of therapy, I do not like for sessions to feel clinical or sterile.
I take a collaborative approach to therapy and allow my clients to guide sessions. I utilized various methods from evidenced-based to a mix of holistic approaches.
Please take the time to fill out the intake paperwork as it helps me prepare for sessions.

I am so glad you have decided to seek help, and I look forward to meeting you on this healing journey.

When people experience trauma and stress, there is a tendency to develop a zoomed-in view of the problem and even blame themselves for the root of the problem. I am here to help you develop a more helpful and realistic outlook and note available solutions to what is going on. I have education and experience treating clients who have gone through trauma, and clients who have symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

I am here for your relational needs. I'm your counselor if you want someone who is all about relationships. Relationships can be the most rewarding part of life. They can also be one of the most difficult. Wherever you are in your relationship, I am here to help you thrive.
I offer counseling for couples, families and individuals to help with all of life's changes. The reason I focus so much on relationships is because I know the profound effect relationships have on mental health, addiction, trauma. If life is a journey, counseling is a pit stop to overcome issues that arise but relationships are the roads that you navigate to get where you need to go. I can assist by providing support, conflict resolution, and relationship enrichment.
I've worked with couples and individuals with relational issues, parenting issues, mental health needs including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction.
Thank you for considering me as your counselor. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you towards your goals.

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.

My approach is warm, supportive, and trauma-focused, blending EMDR, CPT, CBT, and DBT strategies to help you gently process difficult experiences, break free from unhelpful patterns, and develop tools to feel more grounded and in control of your life. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe to explore, heal, and move forward with confidence.

Anxious? Worried all the time? Having panic attacks? Well, you're not alone and I can help! In recent years, anxiety has become one of the most common mental health concerns out there and it can leave you distracted, breathless, overwhelmed and feeling out of control. Symptoms of general anxiety, panic disorders, health anxiety, OCD and PTSD can be difficult to navigate, especially when you feel alone and don't know where to start.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years. I've worked in private practice throughout that time but have also worked in the criminal justice and community mental health settings, helping people with anxiety, depression, and addictions.
I work primarily with adults using cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I like helping people learn the neuroscience behind anxiety and build skills to manage it better. I love seeing people take back some of the power they feel they've lost to anxiety or helping them see the light at the end of the tunnel in depression or addiction. Taking the first step is one of the hardest, but things can feel better for you.

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.

I believe hopefulness and intentionality are the primary components of a fruitful therapeutic relationship.
Collaboration is important - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help reduce some of your mental health challenges, too. I know firsthand that getting help can be a challenge. I look forward to speaking with you to see if we are a good fit to partner in your journey!

Hi and welcome to my page! My name is Jen and I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I have 11 years of experience as a therapist. I work daily to connect and walk beside my clients to assist them in identifying how to better manage the daily struggles in life, including stress management, coping skills to help lessen the burden of anxiety, and depression. I love to also utilize grief therapy, when needed, and helping my clients learn how to live with the loss, while still keeping their memories of their loved one intact.

Hello, I name is Richard Rogers and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40+ years experience. I provide therapy to individual's and family's.
I tend to be quite direct and to the point, as a means of respect.
While most of us have been hurt/victimized by someone who loved us or were supposed to love us, we have survived.
This is how I approach/interact with those in therapy, as Survivors
We will work together by identifying strengths, improving those strengths and developing additional coping skills to improve your life

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.
Navigating through the journey of life we inevitably run into hindrances that challenge our momentum. Change is hard and can often be sudden and unpredictable, leaving us without the proper tools to cope with these changes. We have to learn to acclimate to our surroundings on our terms. Whether it's a traumatic response, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, loss of confidence, feeling lost and overwhelmed, feelings of depression or stagnation, there's hope. It takes courage to look into a mirror and see who's looking back, it takes strength to want to make a change and hope to inspire change.
My goal is to inspire Hope. To inspire people to look inward and see what is there, what already exists. I want to see people believe in themselves. My goal is to assist people in regaining a strong and confident sense of self.

I hold licenses as a clinical social worker and a clinical addiction counselor. My educational background includes a BA in Psychology from Purdue University, obtained in 2003, and a Master's in Social Work from Indiana University, completed in 2006.
Since 2006, my professional journey has encompassed 4 years in private practice, 12 years addressing the needs of DCS/probation/court-ordered clients, 7 years in a jail setting (including 6 years as a clinical supervisor), and a role as a clinical director at an addiction recovery center. My experience spans working with first responders, groups, couples, and individuals grappling with addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, crisis situations, gender issues, adjustment disorder, parenting challenges, stress, self-esteem, codependency, relationship difficulties, and more.
My particular area of passion lies in aiding those struggling with addiction, a field in which I have nearly two decades of experience.
I feel therapy is like the gym and results are seen when working on things in a consistent manner. That being said, I strongly encourage weekly session to start and gradually reduce to twice a month and then monthly to see the best and quickest results.

"In any given moment

Growth or step back

My name is Dr. Julie Brandenburg, Ph.D.; HSPP. If you are considering therapy, then you are already taking steps toward growth and change. My therapy specializations include but are not limited to, women's issues and trauma. What follows below is a list of issues that clients often bring up in our therapy sessions. The list is based on my professional experiences with clients, but by no means represents all of the topics and concerns that you may choose to address in therapy. Your issues are uniquely yours, and cannot be placed into anyone else's categories. I have found, however, that sometimes a list gets the ball rolling for potential clients!
Some of the issues women bring up in our sessions include (but many additional issues are also discussed):
Worry/Anxiety Sadness/Depression Coping with Divorce
Self-Esteem Balancing Life "Roles" Self-Care
Healthy/Unhealthy Relationships Adult/Child Trauma
Trauma-Related Symptoms and Life Impact
Life Transitions
If you identified with any items on the above list or came up with items of your own, would you like help resolving these issues?
The choice is yours. Therapy is for those who believe that their lives can get better and are willing to work to the best of their ability to make that happen. If you choose to work with me, I will be with you every step of the way, encouraging and challenging you to grow toward your best version of yourself.
