Therapists in Fishers, IN
While counseling services are commonly thought of in terms of an effective treatment of mental health conditions (previously termed mental illness), therapy offers so much more. A therapist can lend emotional support, help with self-esteem issues, and share healthy coping skills that can be beneficial to almost anyone.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Fishers, IN may offer more variety than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be a challenge even in more populated places. There are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, and which is most effective will depend on the challenges being addressed, as well as personal preference. For example, adults struggling with family conflict are not likely to get the support they need from play therapy. Grief therapy offers a different experience than life coaching. What you need may not necessarily be accessible or available nearby.
This is where online therapy can help. BetterHelp offers access to a number of mental health professionals in the Fishers area that specialize in a variety of therapeutic modalities, and have experience working with diverse populations. Whether you’re experiencing low self-esteem, interested in shifting to more positive thought patterns, or looking to develop tools for stress management, fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with a therapist that meets your needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost.

Hello! I am Dr. Rose. I am a psychologist with 15 years of experience providing therapy services. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Cincinnati VA Medical Hospital and obtained my graduate education from Indiana State University. I am dually licensed in Wisconsin and Indiana. While residing in Indiana, I worked in a very rural and low income area. I am currently based in Wisconsin, where I have the opportunity to work with individuals from both the more populated areas, as well as the rural areas. Additionally, I am based along the I94 corridor, so I have an interest in providing treatment to individuals who are victims of sex trafficking. Other populations I have a strong interest in working with are the LGBTQ+ population, specifically transgender individuals. I also work with individuals with depression, Bipolar, anxiety, ADHD, anger, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship problems. In my work with individuals, I find that it can often be helpful to explore the impact that the childhood upbringing and nuclear family has on present problems and relationships. I typically use an eclectic approach in sessions, adopting a variety of techniques. Some techniques I typically use are Psychodynamic, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-centered Therapy. However, I most often use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. My therapeutic approach is first, and foremost, to be real. You can always expect that I will give you honest and direct answers. I am a caring provider and I want you to succeed in being the best person you can be. I will work closely with you as a team to help you accomplish your treatment goals. I do hold the national Psychologist license, which gives you some flexibility in where you have your therapy sessions. However, not every state participates in the national license. If you plan to travel and want to have a therapy session during your travels, please check with me to ensure you will be located in a participating state.
