Therapists in Bloomington, IN

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.

I am a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Bloomington, Indiana. I was educated and lived most of my life in New York City. In my private practice I work with teens, adults, couples, and families, and with people of all beliefs and backgrounds. My approach centers on developing a heart-to-heart connection with clients in an honest search for emotional blocks that prevent us from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we work to uncover and understand these blocks by objectively observing everyday reactions, attitudes, and beliefs in our relationships and activities.

I have a waitlist. If you are in a life crisis, a life shift, need behavioral changes, feel "stuck" or if you have found yourself in "transition" where life is demanding you adjust, I would be honored to assist you on your journey. I have a deep respect for the strength, resilience, and depth of people and am passionate about assisting with healing and authentic growth. My style is collaborative and integrates a variety of counseling approaches including; cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, educational, supportive and spiritual.

Taking NEW Clients Clients with Anthem, Aetna, and Medicaid (MHS, traditional, and Anthem)! We are dedicated to helping our clients reach their mental health goals through evidence-based therapies. Our team is composed of experienced, knowledgeable professionals who excel in providing quality care. We understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking help. That's why we strive to make the process as easy as possible.

We all have challenges we face and in moving through those it is so helpful to have guidance. I see my role as providing a safe space for you to feel comfortable sharing your journey. I can assist you in discovering new insights into your situation, bringing clarity regarding your challenges, recognizing unhelpful ways of thinking, developing new skills and cultivating optimal potential for growth and desired changes. Our relationship that develops and grows is the foundation of the collaborative work we can do offering encouragement and support along the way.

Making the decision to begin therapy is a courageous one. You may feel excited and perhaps nervous at the same time. I have over 30 years of experience and I provide a safe, comfortable and confidential environment for you to talk about your concerns and therapy goals. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help you reach your goals, feel more connected, and have a more meaningful life. I also provide a free weekly newsletter covering a mental health topic, coping skill or mindfulness practice.

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.

As a therapist, I partner with the person I am working with and we collaboratively explore options that may fit your needs and bring you where you want to be, and how you want to be in your life. I am available for TeleHealth Sessions throughout Colorado. If you are wanting to tackle issues such as Addiction, Codependency, Trauma, Sexuality, Unmanageable Stress and Anxiety, Gambling, ADD/ADHD, Feeling Intimidated by a Life Transition ("What is next?") or Feeling Stuck and wanting to make Personal or Career Changes we may want to meet. I use Brainspotting, talk therapies, and a variety of other treatment methods like CBT, MI, & DBT.

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.

We all need help at times. Asking for it is not always easy - it is a vulnerable, brave act that requires courage and self-knowledge. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes (such as immigration, parenthood, loss of a loved one), career or university challenges, suicidal ideation, engaging in addictive, self-harming behaviors or feeling overwhelmed, directionless and lonely, my aim is to help you pay attention to your inner world, and to walk alongside you with kindness and respect to encourage clarity and healing so that you can live the life you desire.

I provide an experience where your problems can be addressed in an open, non-judgmental, and confidential setting. I am not a passive therapist. I seek to help individuals, couples, and families learn how to move forward. Learning may involve growing one's self- acceptance or lessening one's dependence upon approval. It may involve improving one's judgment and/or taking care of oneself in relationships. The learning may involve "letting go" of a "bad" relationship or grieving losses . It may involve overcoming anxiety, depression or addiction(s). Lastly, learning may involve restoring broken trust or estrangement.

Are you looking for therapy that addresses underlying issues, develops a toolbox of resources, and creates meaningful change? I offer a personalized, caring, integrative, non-judgmental, mind/body approach to create a supportive, empowering environment, optimized to identify your unique strengths, and assist in supporting the changes you want to happen in your life. I am an attachment and trauma informed therapist with over 25 years of experience. I believe that we have a tremendous ability to heal, change, grow, and develop a better understanding of ourselves.

I especially enjoy working with young adults and older adults that are going through life changes.

Our team of therapists represent many identities & theoretical perspectives, and work from queer feminist and family systems frameworks.

I've been a social worker in Southern Indiana for nearly 40 years. I have experience with a wide variety of issues, including major mental illness, but now I'm mostly dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, couples counseling and issues of aging. My work comes out of CBT and is focused on the here and now. My goal is for you to have more control regulating your emotions. Emotions have a lot of energy, it is time that energy gets used to help you rather than hurt you. I've always worked in Southern Indiana, which is where I'm from. I worked for 20 years at Indiana University CAPS before retiring to pursue private practice.

I believe people are full of inherent strengths, waiting to be unlocked. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself and accomplish your goals. By identifying your strengths, we can work together to overcome issues in your life. I don't fix people, and I don't tell them what to do. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy and equity. Whether you are working through a substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, relationships conflicts, grief, or low self-esteem, I'd love to be part of your healing journey.

Life is full of unexpected challenges. How well or poorly we handle these challenges affects our confidence, self-esteem, and how we navigate through day-to-day life. If you’re struggling, it’s not your fault. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults with career and life stressors, who have experienced trauma, are navigating life adjustments, and facing relationship conflicts and infidelity. If you are looking for someone to navigate this journey with you and teach you skills to foster your own resilience along the way, give me a call.

My goal is to create an environment where you are safe to explore yourself and the circumstances of your life in a compassionate, non-judgemental manner. I will help you to identify your therapeutic goals and use strategies best suited to your specific needs; always looking for and developing your inherent strengths that will enable you to achieve your goals. Mine is an eclectic approach to therapy that addresses, among other issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, life transitions, relationships, gender, and sexuality.

There are times when we all need some additional support and guidance to help us get to where we want to be mentally and emotionally. Counseling can help us take this journey and get to that healthier place. I believe that these journeys require a good connection and balance between the therapist and client. Both must be willing to give and take within the therapeutic process to make it a success.
