Therapists for Teens in Avon, IN

Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 15 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well.

Are you the parent or guardian of a child, adolescent, or teen struggling to cope? Perhaps your child has experienced trauma, perhaps your family is going through a divorce or death, perhaps you have concerns about suicide or self-injury. Maybe you can just feel it in your gut that something is wrong. You worry that their struggle will escalate but it's been hard to connect with them lately and you feel unsure about the best way to help. You want the best for your child and know that finding them professional support is your best bet at helping them—and you! —navigate this struggle.

There are many reasons why someone might want to come to therapy. Are you feeling sad, worried, irritable or angry most of the time? Maybe it just feels hard to regulate your mood. You may have experienced trauma. You could be going through a difficult time in your life due to stress, grief or life changes. Your relationships with your friends or responsibilities at school might feel overwhelming or hard to manage. If you're a parent, you might notice these changes in your child or teen. Any of these situations can leave you feeling lonely, stuck or hopeless. I am here to help provide compassion, hope and trauma-informed care.

What makes people do what they do? That question has fascinated me since childhood, so it’s no surprise when I found herself called to counseling. While earning my undergraduate degree in psychology from Cedarville University, I served an internship at Care to Change and was particularly impressed with the approach combining the evidence-based practices I was learning in classrooms with the Biblical foundation that has long been at the center of my life.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying therapy approaches and techniques, we will alter long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hello! My name is Ciera Jackson. I have been in social services over 15 years. I have a passion for serving people who desire wholeness, compassionate accountability, and growth. Narcissistic abuse, kinship care, and pastoral care are issues close to my heart. It's my niche. I counsel a wide range of people with the goal of dealing with heartbreak, emotional wounds, and rejection. I believe when those issues are addressed people can see themselves with clear lenses. Additionally, they can fully operate in their purpose and build future generations that are whole, heard, and understood.

I love working with clients across the lifespan. I csee children as young as elementary school and work with clients/families up into the time of death. I have provided many of these services in-person in a hospital or home care setting while working 10 years in hospice & oncology programs. Supporting folks during their grief is my specialty, whether due to changes in the life cycle, chronic illness, and terminality. I also personally am a guardian and caregiver for my parent who lives with Bipolar Disorder and advanced Alzheimer's Disease, so I bring several years of personal advocacy and practice experience based on this role.

Have you ever just felt that your life was completely out of balance? So many people feel this way but don’t know where to start to get in back into a healthy mental space for themselves.

I want to help you find your balance and rediscover your true self. I have over 15 years of experience working with both adults and children. I am passionate about helping people heal from traumas that have occurred in their life as well as working with depression, anxiety and ADHD in both kids and adults.

Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work. We start where you are.
