Congratulations on seeking therapy! Most people who seek therapy or counseling report that they experience an improvement in mood and anxiety. Unfortunately, many folks have to wait weeks to see a therapist. Timing is everything and I can generally see you within 48 hours. I believe I am easy to talk to and approachable. Therapists are excellent listeners and I will be honest with you, rather than just agreeing or dismissing your opinions. If you see me and we establish a plan, you will be able to determine how much you need and for how long. Since what we will be doing involves Telehealth, I ask that you cancel ahead of time if you cannot meet per schedule. I will do my best to accomodate your schedule.
As your therapist, I will:
Respect your privacy
Respect your schedule
Respect your opinions and values
Respect the severity and urgency of your difficulties
Make myself available when you need assistance
Help you find answers and solutions rather than feeling “stuck"

Stop. Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Breath. My practice has been focused on decreasing the effects of trauma, depression, and anxiety in both adults and children through a mind and body approach. While working with children and adults there is a focus on the present while relieving symptoms caused by the past. Therapy is a relationship between a provider and client that supports positive change. I have witnessed these changes while working with each of my clients and as a client myself. I truly believe that I can help you and/or your children improve your mood and decrease negative behaviors.

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.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in patterns that no longer seem to work? Perhaps you're carrying the stress of a difficult relationship, navigating a major life change, struggling with constant worry or self-doubt, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together on your own. If so, you're not alone—and things can get better.
Therapy offers a supportive, evidence-based space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and develop practical tools for lasting change. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.
My practice focuses on teletherapy for adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. With decades of experience in private practice and clinical settings, I have helped individuals navigate stress, trauma, adjustment challenges, and difficult seasons of life. This experience has given me a grounded understanding of the many ways people can feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am engaged, honest, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel both safe and purposeful. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and work toward greater emotional clarity, resilience, and well-being.
Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or returning with specific goals, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, your relationships, and your ability to handle life's challenges.
If you're ready for things to feel different—to feel calmer, more connected, and more like yourself again—I invite you to schedule a consultation. Reaching out can be the first step toward feeling more hopeful, supported, and in control of your life.

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.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe each individual is the expert of their own life, with a unique story, identity, and set of experiences. I recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, which is why I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other; to meet the distinct needs of every individual, couple, and family I work with.
My approach is rooted in the belief that healing and growth occur when clients feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where people of all ages—children, young adults, adults, couples, and families; can explore their challenges, develop deeper self-understanding, and strengthen their relationships. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to offering each person unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and respect as they move toward healing and wholeness.

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.

Hi there! Originally from Kentucky, I'm currently a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Indiana. My journey started with a Master's in Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University, though initially I pursued a career in teaching, which briefly postponed my entry into therapy. During my time in education, I witnessed firsthand the diverse needs of students and parents.
I bring with me extensive experience working with teens, adolescents, and young adults across various environments. I firmly believe that anyone who is motivated to change can achieve their goals with dedication and effort.

Hi there, I'm Farah Ali.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and dedicated advocate for my clients. My educational foundation is based in psychology and social justice, having earned my master's degree in social work with a dual concentration in community practice and clinical mental health. Driven by a strong commitment to human rights and social justice, I am dedicated to advocating for every individual I work with and the communities I am part of.
My Core Principles as a Therapist:
Focusing on Strengths & Empowerment: Central to our work is helping you to more deeply connect to—and really use—your inherent strengths. This means looking for growth opportunities where some might find roadblocks and accessing both internal and external resources to help you make the changes you want to see in your life.
Working for Comprehensive Wellness: Therapy is a place where we can work toward mental and emotional wellness, learn how to foster positive relationships, and discover a greater sense of balance and ease in your day-to-day life.
Promoting Connection & Authenticity: The relationship we have is vital, which is why I work hard to make sure our relationship is a nurturing space for meaningful growth.
Creating Safety in Being Seen: I strive to make our sessions a place where every emotion is valued, encouraged, and supported—yes, even the “bad” or “undesirable” emotions. This is the space we cultivate together in our work, and space that is here to help you more deeply see yourself, and be seen in your authenticity.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy 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.
