Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Bloomington, IN

Do you want to change something about your life but don't know how? Whether you want to improve your mood, reduce worries/anxious thoughts, change an unwanted behavior, or better manage a tough relationship, individual (one-on-one) counseling can be a very effective tool to help you. My job is to help you identify realistic, concrete steps you can take to make these changes. A client who works with me can expect to identify goal(s) for your counseling, and then together, we'll create a plan for working toward your goals.

Our goal has always been to help clients find and maintain emotional balance. Our clients are interested in and intrigued by the brain. They are ready to address brain issues which are foundational for psychological issues. Our clients may want to soar in their respective fields, or they may want to stop performing compulsive rituals. Our clients may be experiencing flashbacks, or they may have difficulty in school. They may desire better relationships, better memories, better sleep, better moods. They may be 6 or 86. Most certainly, they want therapy to be effective and to be an active participant in the process.

I specialize in helping people of all ages in managing the symptoms of trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, disordered eating, body image, and more. I am particularly keen on working with people interested in spirtual wellness. I serve all ages, but especially kids to young adults and older adults. I am passionate about working with veterans, LGBTQIA folx, and culturally diverse peoples. I bring warmth, positivity,  kindness, and compassion to my work. I have the utmost regard for each client's unique life story, personality, and goals. I aspire to make you feel seen, heard, and valued as the individual that you are.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Dealing with anxiety or feeling as though you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop? Suffering from sexual and/or relationship issues? Maybe you're not sure where to start or you've tried therapy in the past and it wasn't a good fit. Life can be hard and you are not alone in your journey. As a licensed therapist and certified yoga instructor, I weave traditional talk therapy with mindfulness and meditation practices to offer you a multifaceted approach to therapy. Taking the first steps in your therapeutic journey can be tough. KUDOS to you for taking those steps. You're worth it!

As a licensed mental health therapist my goal is to offer you a safe space to process your emotions, restore balance to your nervous system, and build greater self awareness. Specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I use research supported trauma therapies including EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

I help clients remove mental blocks and build resourcefulness. Through hypnotherapy and self hypnosis clients achieve the peace and well-being they desire. Since 2013 I have successfully helped many adults, teens and children to resolve many issues such as focal dystonia, sleeplessness, fears and phobias, procrastination, unhealthy food & exercise habits, creative blocks, job loss/change, as well as anxiousness stemming from past traumas such as deaths, divorce, dysfunctional family, and more.

We are accepting new clients! We are a dedicated group of mental health therapists who provide the highest level of services. We have decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Our main focus is the care of our clients. We take our time to truly understand what you are experiencing. Through this process, we will also work to help you to notice your feelings and reactions, develop your voice, and when appropriate, share this with key people in your life.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

Seeking therapy is a hopeful and courageous act. While suffering is a uniquely individual experience, making the transition to a healthy and balanced life is an opportunity to discover a true and more authentic self. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a deep respect for the strength and resilience of the human spirit. If you are a young person struggling at home or at school or a couple looking for clarity, resolution and healing or someone that feels like they just don't fit in, you do not have to continue alone.

As a counselor, I am committed to being present, open, and accepting with you. Much of my practice consists of helping clients heal from trauma and/or substance use. I also work with professionals who are over-stressed or who are adjusting to life with a mental illness or psychological injury.

Repeating mistakes, feeling out of control, worthless, ashamed, powerless, or believe you are not good enough? You are not alone. As a therapist for 30 years, I’ve worked with diverse populations and a variety of symptoms, taking a holistic approach valuing the whole person integrating mind and body. Sessions are driven by you; your goals and desires. Together we will identify and work through past trauma, limiting patterns, beliefs and subsequent actions. Please contact me to see if I'm the right therapist for you. I'd like to assist on your journey to identifying and alleviating blocks to living a more fulfilling life.

Integrating art therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and talk therapy, I offer a unique treatment approach for adults, children, teens, and families. In my 27 years of practice, I have extensive experience working with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief/loss, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is supportive, collaborative and strength-based. I find fulfillment in helping individuals experience empowerment, increase resilience and make life changes that are sustainable and rewarding. My office is located downtown Bloomington in the historic Faris Building.

Therapy is a time to reach out and begin to make changes for how you want your life to be different . . . and a therapist helps you find the courage, gather the tools necessary and choose a path to go after it. I have over 25 years experience working with children, families and individuals to assist them in getting back on track with their lives. Specialty areas include children with behavior issues, recovering from abuse and trauma, and coping with divorce, along with all ages of adults wanting a higher quality of life as a result of anxiety and depression.

I am currently ONLY accepting new group participants! Please inquire about my OCD groups using I-CBT! I enjoy working with adults and young adults who are having symptoms such as feeling overwhelmed, intrusive/unwanted thoughts, repetitive behaviors, worry, fear, self-doubt, perfectionism and stress due to life transitions. I specialize in OCD and I treat many individuals with: other anxiety disorders, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, ADHD, relationship issues and life transitions. I am SPACE provider, which is a specialized treatment for parents of children with anxiety disorders.

My passion is working with people who are looking to cultivate a life that is focused on creating wellness in both Mind and Body. Whether you are looking to make life style changes, looking to find more time in a day, or finding ways to decrease the things that cause anxiety; together we can help you find the balance you are looking for in your life.

Welcome! Please check my website to see if I am accepting new clients. Congratulations on making it this far, because it takes courage to consider doing therapy. If you need a change or want to start on a journey of self-discovery, the next step is to reach out to someone. I look forward to meeting you, learning about you, and helping you to work toward the future you desire.

I believe that human beings have an inherent longing and need for wholeness and balance, which is our natural state of being. However, we sometimes encounter damaging or traumatic events or long term stress that interrupt this natural state. When we are imbalanced, we develop psychological and/or physical symptoms, and we begin to use ineffective coping mechanisms. The good news is that with the right tools, these struggles can be used as a path back to the wholeness we seek. Having worked with clients for over twenty years, I know firsthand the power of using our difficulties to point the way towards healing.

There is no wrong time to reach out for support. Whether it be lifelong challenges such as birth complications, experiences of abuse or neglect as a child, feelings of sadness and worry as an adult or anything in between, I believe in empowering clients to find the healing they are ready for. Using the science of the body and brain, clients will be able to achieve their goals knowing they have a supportive partner to guide them on their journey with compassion, care, and warmth.

My speciality is building close rapport with my clients who have told me throughout my years of counseling they feel able to talk with me openly. I believe this is due to the fact that I adhere to the Rogerian Principle of unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental stance. Treating others with respect and dignity facilitates true self-examination and an opportunity for personal growth. Close rapport is the foundation that will maximize the effectiveness of my cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, treatment that will allow you to quickly reclaim your sense of well-being and optimal level of functioning.
