Therapists in Carmel, IN
Many of us can benefit from mental health support at some point in our lives. Daily stress, life challenges, and family conflict can sometimes feel overwhelming. Therapy can offer the tools needed to manage stress, cope with change, and repair relationships.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Carmel, IN may offer more choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging, even in a city. There are many therapeutic approaches available, and the type of therapy that you want or need may not necessarily be available in your neighborhood. This is where online therapy can help. BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to an array of mental health service providers who specialize in everything from grief therapy to the behavioral challenges of personality disorders. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will match you with a Carmel-based therapist that meets your needs.
Another common roadblock to therapy is that many do not find clinics or offices a relaxed environment for sharing, especially if they experience behavioral issues that make it difficult to interact in person. Online sessions are not only convenient, but allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. And because therapeutic alliance and compassionate care can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost.
Below is a list of Carmel, IN-based professionals, from licensed clinical social workers to licensed clinical psychologists. Many have worked extensively in specific therapeutic modalities--click on a profile to find out more about their licensure, certifications, and experience. If you have been thinking about therapy for any reason, for processing past experiences, improving communication skills, or simply working on self-improvement, there is no better time to get started.

I have been working in Behavioral Health for over 20 years. I received my undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois. Since then I have primarily treated issues such as suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and trauma history. My style is warm and supportive. I see myself as your tour guide as we navigate through the issues you want to work on. Being a social worker, I believe that the change has to happen both within a person and in their environment. I focus on capitalizing on existing strengths, or building new ones. I use a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which primarily means that we learn how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how to deal with that. I try to help a person get to the core of where their anxiety derives from in order to quiet the body and the mind. My newest area of passion is trauma. We have all been through “stuff” and often we minimize the effects of that in our lives. However with my knowledge of how trauma affects our brain and therefore our moods and behaviors, I can assist you in coming at things from a direction you might not have thought of in the past. Please note: while I will provide assistance, guidance, and support, this is YOUR therapy and you should expect to do most of the talking :) My style is reflective with gentle nudging, and a dash of humor :) I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I earned a Bachelor of Arts (Major: Psychology) from Indiana University, Bloomington in 2003 and earned a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis in 2008. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, teens transitioning to adulthood, and healing from past trauma and abuse. I also have experience helping families navigate the child welfare system and foster care. I am passionate about empowering and supporting individuals who have been in or are currently in emotionally abusive or toxic relationships. These relationships may include, but are not limited to, love bombing followed by gaslighting, isolation from your friends or family, questioning your own reality, feel as though you've lost your sense of self, and have a desire to leave but can't bring yourself to go through with it or a desire to get back together with your partner even though you know it is not healthy for you. My goal is to educate you on toxic traits and red flags, empower you to find your sense of self again, and equip you with the tools necessary to heal from this silent abuse. My therapy style is warm, interactive, empowering, yet straightforward and forthright. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmas or labels. I believe everyone has power within them to heal and make healthy changes in their lives. My job is to help you find that power so you can rediscover your voice and start creating the life you want to live! My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
