Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Milton, IN

My ideal client is open minded and willing to do what is normally outside of their comfort zone. My ideal client is an individual who is dedicated to improving and committed to living a better life. Someone who is able to accept change and accept aspects that are out of their control. I have much experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, identity, addiction and many mental health issues. I thoroughly enjoy helping people overcome problematic areas and enabling individuals to live a full and meaningful life. I feel strongly about the empowerment of the client and healing the mind, body and spirit.

Through counseling, I seek to help individuals develop the skills, abilities, and beliefs to help manage, cope and work through painful feelings and emotions related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and family conflict.

Therapy looks different for everyone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or simply seeking to enhance your quality of life, I offer empathy, connection, and a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals using a trauma informed approach.

I approach all clients with compassion, a desire to connect, and acceptance of all presenting issues. I counsel clients with eating disorders, body image concerns, and those who are desiring to move towards acceptance and care of their current bodies. In addition, I serve clients experiencing daily stressors, anxiety and depression and trauma. Assisting clients to learn new tools and build upon their strengths as well as to provide comfort and guidance in life's painful and rewarding moments is why I do what I do.

Note: Others in my collaborative practice are taking new clients. It is my belief that everyone can benefit from counseling, and it takes a strong person to seek out assistance when needed. I believe we are not made to live in isolation, and we do best when we are part of a community. By recognizing the events that have formed us in life, we can learn from them and become a better version of ourselves. In order for this process to take place, I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment that supports increased insight and growth.

I offer services for: Individuals, ages 18+, as well as those with court mandated treatment I do not offer: Crisis Coverage or Case Management Services

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have been practicing in the field for 10+ years. I received my Master of Counseling Psychology degree from Louisiana State University where I began my work in the mental health field. I have worked with teens, young adults, and adults struggling with many different mental health needs that have affected their ability to feel in control of their own world.

My expertise is in treating mental health and substance use concerns in a holistic and confidential manner. I know issues with trauma, anxiety and more can impact EVERY aspect of our lives and I am passionate about helping people lessen that negative impact. I'm skilled at providing a comfortable, social atmosphere to explore issues. I focus on 'the real shit' with a strong dose of humor and provide each person I see with an individualized and evidence based plan particularly suited for their own healing and recovery. We have survived 100% of our worst days. We've got this one.

All of us face painful and challenging experiences at some point in our journey. And sometimes, we need extra support to move through the struggles, to grow, to heal, to learn and unlearn, and to find peace and harmony again. I am passionate about walking alongside you through the ebb and flow of life, as you process pain and trauma, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other hardships that accompany living. A central part of my practice is to provide support and encouragement in these moments while also helping you to move toward greater clarity, calm, and well-being.

First and foremost, my goal is to empower you to better understand yourself and address whatever may be a struggle for you. I provide long term and short term therapy as well as psychological diagnostic evaluations. Overall, I offer a collaborative, transparent relationship that encourages insight, confidence, and growth. If you're seeking a non-religious / pagan therapist, I would be a great fit as well. I enjoy humor, chatting about your hobbies, and debunking the tiktok vides in sessions so that our work feels more like a conversation than a clinical chore for you.

Hi and welcome! I’m Christina. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, trauma, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I have a diverse background of real life experiences and two Master’s degrees that come together in a way that gives you a great sense of comfort and trust in my ability to support you in ways that make a difference.

My goal as your therapist is to help you deeply know yourself and build meaningful connections with others. Many people come to therapy because they feel afraid to show the world their true selves, feel intense pressure to succeed, or have internalized messages that they are unloveable or unworthy. Many struggle with an inner critic and "irrational" fears. You might also use defensiveness, fear of intimacy, and shutting down to protect yourself from others when you feel unsafe. Instead of fighting internal battles and living in cycles of avoidance, I help you approach yourself and your patterns with curiosity and compassion.

Be Seen In A Week! Trauma can have a deep impact on the way an individual views themselves, others, and the world. People who have survived trauma can continue to carry the trauma with them by reliving it in their thoughts and dreams, by avoiding certain people, places, and things and experiencing disturbances in their sleep, mood, and startle response. While all of these symptoms can be overwhelming, you do not have to carry them with you for the rest of your life. There are various treatments that have been scientifically proven to positively impact client's lives and help them not just "get over" their trauma, but to overcome it

Experiencing trauma, along with other unwanted life events, can leave you feeling dysregulated; more irritable, lacking focus, and perhaps experiencing an increase in interpersonal conflict. It’s possible that you are also feeling unmotivated, alone, and the things you once enjoyed no longer interest you. Perhaps you are a caregiver and you have concerns regarding your child; wondering if their behavior is appropriate and how to help them navigate challenges they are experiencing. Whether you are reading this for yourself or you are a caregiver seeking services for your child, relief from these unwanted symptoms is possible.

We often endure hardship and struggle for a long time before we recognize that we cannot or do not want to continue with things as they are. Change is possible, even after significant emotional pain, trauma, or loss. I invite you to consider how you want your life to change. I also invite you to take time and give attention to pursue necessary healing. Over the last decade of clinical and practical experience, I have come to value therapy that is mindful, holistic, and practical. I aim to come alongside people ready to see change and willing to take steps toward trauma recovery, renewed purpose and a lifestyle of mental health.

My mission is to create a space where all clients feel welcome and safe enough to share freely without fear of judgment, and to equip clients with tools and resources to overcome daily challenges and build healthier connections with themselves and others. My specialty includes trauma, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My aim is to offer a humanistic and trauma-focused approach to growth and healing. Taking the first step toward recovery and healing is HARD. I am here to help you navigate that.

I provide individual therapy for LGBTQ+ adults and teens as well as individuals processing trauma. I have experience working with a wide range of clients and issues, including older teens and college-age adults, and particularly survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. I also facilitate the Healing Religious Trauma Group.
