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.

I have 17 years of experience as a clinical Social Worker and I specialize in key areas of cognitive behavioral therapy for mood, EMDR, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD/trauma recovery work, substance abuse/codependency, LGBTQIA, consensual non-monogamy, and grief and loss. I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, movement, nutrition, neuroplasticity, and art therapy into my practice as well. In addition to being a military veteran, I also spent 9+ years working with a VA hospital so I have a hefty amount of experience in working with veterans issues as well.

Do you feel like you've never fully been able to put the past behind you, no matter how hard you've tried? Perhaps you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over or inadvertently repeating self-destructive behaviors, reacting in a way that doesn't fit with how you want to behave in your adult life. Or maybe you even have nightmares or memories that pop up on their own that feel as awful as it did the day that it happened. Do you ever feel worthless, ashamed, powerless, unsafe, or not good enough? If any of this feels true, you're not alone. I've worked with clients that experience this and more for the past 15 years.

Healthy relationships are possible! Learning evidenced-based relationship skills will improve your connection with partners, friends, family members, coworkers, children, and most importantly, with yourself! My passions are to help adults recover from past relationship wounds, rewire negative messages about self-worth/love/relating, increase your ability to trust yourself and others, recognize signs of health vs. toxicity, and learn skills to maintain healthy love and emotional health once you have it! www.CalendulaCounseling.com

Welcome! Is it important to you to work through a difficult issue? It can be painful and unnecessary to do so alone. I invite you to contact me. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified EMDR therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. The basis of my practice is developing a supportive, safe and collaborative relationship with you while helping you access your inner resources. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and faiths. Issues commonly addressed includes trauma, college student concerns, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues.

Currently accepting new clients for my waitlist, typically 3-4 week wait for intake session. I am glad you are here, it means you are taking the first step towards healing and wellness! I specialize in working with individuals with a history of childhood and adult sexual abuse, survivors of domestic violence, anxiety, and depression. I am LGBTQ+ knowledgeable and affirming, and I have a passion for working with teens and adults who are exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as those who are neurodiverse. As a former firefighter and paramedic, I also enjoy working with first responders.

We all have trauma, obstacles, setbacks in life, or times where we don't feel our best. It can be a struggle to just get through the day. Sometimes we find that those traumas and obstacles are too big to overcome on our own, and we need help. Therapy can be an excellent place to process through and heal from trauma, gain new coping skills or improve old ones, and develop the self-awareness and insight to reach new levels of personal growth. Whether it's a struggle with a mood disorder like depression/anxiety, major life adjustments like divorce, or processing through a complex trauma history, helping others heal is what I love to do

"I am currently not accepting new clients" Experiencing distress as a result of depression, anxiety, strained relationships, PTSD, women's issues, child sexual abuse, behavioral concerns or issues related to military service? I invite you to contact me to schedule an initial assessment. With more than 10 years experience in mental health services I have worked with many individuals & families to decrease their symptoms, improve their functioning and strengthen their relationships. I would like to help you too. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia and licensed in the state of Indiana.

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.

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.

You are tired of feeling stuck in the pain of the past or feeling frozen by anxiety or worry. You're confused about your reactions to others and your environment. You may be questioning your identity, struggling with a transition in life and not knowing where to go next. You may be feeling burnt out and don't know why you can't just push passed it like you used to. You want to feel centered, confident in yourself and know how to support your own individual needs as you navigate your life and your relationships going forward. And you deserve support!

Hi! I’m Jen and I’m not perfect. It took me a long time to be able to say and accept that statement. In fact, I embrace the things that are imperfect: I am a trauma survivor. I am neurodivergent. I have struggled with depression and anxiety. I have navigated all of these difficulties throughout my life and seek to help others navigate their issues as well. I am fully authentic with my clients and I hope my clients will be fully authentic with me.

No matter what is going on right now, you have taken a huge step in seeking out help for yourself and/or your family. It is often very difficult for people to admit that they need help, and now that you have taken the initial step I would be honored to come alongside you and your family and assist you with whatever you are experiencing. I believe in building on your strengths and increasing your resiliency.

Life doesn’t always go the way we want it to, and discomfort and disappointment can be overwhelming. I love working with clients who are ready to explore change. I have the most experience helping those with anxiety, concerns with trust, self-esteem issues, life transitions, traumatic experiences, difficult family relationships, romantic relationship struggles, and LGBTQ+ experiences. I want to learn what makes you unique, help you build confidence in yourself, and help you reclaim your life narrative. Let's explore those places of power within you to work through the liminal parts of your life.

My approach to therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship which I perceive as the most important factor for change to happen. I use interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my work. My primary area of interest is working with college aged students and young professionals in their early 20s to late 40s who may be experiencing difficulties dealing with the various roles, responsibilities, stressors, and life transitions that come with this particular age group and various life stages.

No New Patients. I enjoy working with a variety of people and have extensive experience assisting individuals experiencing trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with adults of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender orientations, and religions. I assist clients to explore ways stresses, traumas, and significant relationships have influenced them so that they may lead a more full, satisfying life. I'm an integrative therapist and am most influenced by EMDR, psychodynamic theories, and dialectical behavioral treatment. I collaborate with you to develop and pursue goals along the way.
