Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Do you feel as though no one understands you? Do you struggle with sleep problems and anxiety? Are you tired of feeling sad and depressed? My approach is to meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively with you to develop skills one needs to successfully navigate through life’s challenges, difficult relationships, parenting issues, grief and loss, as well as the emotional processing of trauma, anxiety and depression. I take the time to understand your concerns and issues without judgment. I provide a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment online and in person.

I provide a setting inclusive of calm, supporting personal growth, reflection, and insight. I encourage the nurturance of hope as a factor of psychological wellness and respect the courage entailed in listening to one's inner voice while seeking to maintain psychological health. I have a sincere interest and passion in the emotional wellness and spiritual health of human beings. I appreciate the courage and resilience within the human spirit and the anguish that life experiences can bring to our inner core.

Choosing to see a therapist is not always an easy decision. It is often hard to imagine sharing difficult, painful or shameful feelings with a stranger. Choosing to see a therapist is also a brave decision, filled with possibility. As an experienced clinical psychologist, licensed in Michigan and Indiana, I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative effort, in which client and therapist work together to know and understand the strengths and challenges that confront the client every day. Therapy is the work of knowing oneself and then setting out to manage these discoveries effectively.

I embody a passion for helping others achieve their ideal self in all facets of the lifespan. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, as well as families and couples. My areas of expertise include; mood disorders, crisis and trauma, phase of life concerns, parenting/co-parenting, gender, identity, and sexual orientation concerns, as well as career-related challenges.

As a practicing therapist for over 20s years, I pride myself on helping those who need guidance and a listening ear in times of difficulty. Acknowledging that it takes courage to reach for help and begin therapy, I hope to lessen the intimidating and overwhelming process as an experienced therapist. I work primarily with adolescents and adults on issues ranging from depression and anxiety to more specific trauma related concerns. I will work also to hear your needs as we walk alongside each other through the counseling process.

Life may seem overwhelming, as if you are alone and no one understands you. Maybe you have an issue with someone, but the thought of conflict makes you shut down and avoid the situation. Perhaps you are anxious or consumed with worry or afraid of disappointing others. I have worked with many patients who struggle to stay connected in relationships or effectively communicate with others. You could struggle with anger issues and use anger to defend and protect yourself from being hurt.

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 complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

We offer a safe environment for you to share your story. People describe me as empathetic, compassionate and relational. As we work together, you can develop healthier coping skills and work through unresolved issues. I value the client/therapist relationship and provide space for clients to explore and give meanings to unconscious patterns of behavior.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

The reward of therapy is profound and enduring. It is the gift of self-discovery, resilience, and an enriched understanding of the human experience. One of the greatest aspects of therapy is the gradual realization that healing is not synonymous with erasing scars; rather, it is an acceptance of the scars as integral parts of a unique narrative. Trust in the power within to rewrite your story with resilience and self-compassion. The reward is deeply rooted within!

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.

Welcome to Bonds Counseling Solutions conveniently located near downtown Indianapolis. As your therapist, I will help you discover and implement solutions to your problems. Since each client is unique, the path we decide to take to work on your issues will be unique as well. I believe in thinking outside the box and in providing a safe, nurturing and supportive environment in which you can open up and explore possibilities. While your past is important in who you are today, our therapeutic relationship will initially focus on helping you cope with what is going on in your life today.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

I work best with folks who are seeking practical effective solutions to their personal, family or relationships problems and who would like to see results as quickly as possible. They are open to learning new ways of thinking about their problems and are receptive to new approaches. You can generally count on leaving your first session confident that I understand the problems you have presented and have clear formulations and concrete solutions to offer. Half of my cases are closed in under six sessions, most with good and lasting results.
