Therapists in East Chicago, IN
When you are feeling depressed, it feels like you are moving in slow motion, or swimming in a swamp. Without treatment, depression can continue to get worse until you feel like you are being drowned in that swamp. East Chicago counselors know how this feels and they are trained to help you with these feelings
The town of East Chicago was initially a swamp that was not suitable for farming, which was how people made their living back then. With help, the town was able to drain the swamp and make it livable for everyone. Let one of the counselors in East Chicago help you drain the swamp, so you can start getting back on dry land again.

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Faith and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Indiana. I have been in the social services field for over 10 years. I have much experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, anger management, and relationship stressors. Anyone who knows me would describe me as highly empathic, compassionate, caring and committed to making a difference in the lives of others. I have experience in both roles of therapy, as therapist and client. I understand the difficulty in seeking help, being vulnerable and facing personal struggles. I value and respect the lives of each of my clients and admire the strength and resiliency that I am privileged to see in my work every day. In our work together, I will help you connect to these strengths within you and work collaboratively to help overcome the struggles that you face. I believe that each of us has a greater purpose in this life and counseling is one of many tools to help achieve our highest potential. My counseling approach is eclectic, meaning that I draw from a combination of counseling theory and techniques. Each of us is unique in our thoughts, feelings and worldview; therefore, I believe therapy should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. I am continuously researching treatments and perspectives from professionals in the counseling field, and utilize strategies from a holistic perspective, integrating mind, body and spirit for optimum health. If you feel ready to take the next step to a more fulfilling life, I would love to accompany you along that journey!

Creating safety within a non-judgmental environment is vital to begin the journey of recovery and healing. Each person has their own unique set of beliefs, experiences and needs. I collaborate with clients to identify the goals and direction of therapy. My clients are insightful, creative, intelligent people who are working to attain specific goals, make difficult life transitions, or work through the internal and external struggles of previous experiences. I use a combination of CBT and trauma-focused techniques. My background is a Master's of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University, as well as a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Harding University. I have additional training in grief and trauma therapy.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted. We're wounded in relationships... and we're healed in relationships. Let me help. Here's what I believe: Things can be different. You can effect change in your life, on the inside and on the outside. You can feel better and get better. You can move toward what's meaningful to you. Here's How I Can Help: Internal "Stuff": The thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations that try to prevent movement toward what's meaningful to you. External "Stuff": The conflict that lives in the space between committed people that erodes trust and commitment, preventing movement toward the bond. Traumatic Memories: Fragments of emotional intensity trapped in the mind and body, triggering cascades of turbulence that interfere with daily living. I'm a therapist and clinical counselor based in Westfield, IN, and I'm about helping you move toward what's meaningful to you, when your thoughts and feelings try to get in the way. Know this: I want this to work as much as you do, and I will never judge you.

Hello! I'm Darlene Graham and I am a PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, RELATIONAL & SPIRITUAL GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT COACH AND A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. Without change and growth, there's stagnation. With change and growth, there is the opportunity to reach your hidden potential. Are you ready to become more of what you were meant to become? Are you ready for meaningful and satisfying relationships? I've counseled individuals, couples and families for 14 years and I've learned that meeting people where they are, especially where their thoughts are and helping them step-by-step shift to a more supportive place, has been a very successful approach in helping people meet their needs. As a result, I tend to favor a thought-restructuring, strengths-based, solution-focused, and client-centered approach. I've worked with children, adolescents, young and older adults and find that everyone needs support. So, if you're ready for growth and change. If you're ready to choose something different. Allow me to walk along side you to support you on your journey.
