About me

I began working in the field at a VA Hospital Indiana psychiatric unit at the age of 18. My official first mental health job was at a psychiatric inpatient unit in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1977 when I was 22. From there I was hired at the local mental health center and worked the next 40 years. I retired in from my job of 40 years in 2018 but have continued to do private practice. I have a passion to work with people who need therapy. I am excited to keep working in the field of counseling. My specialties include, trauma counseling, grief work, anxiety disorders, depression and LGBTQ issues. I specifically love to take Trauma cases and people who have anxiety disorders. Since the pandemic began, I have done Telehealth services from my home and in the private practice office. Better Help with its focus on telehealth is the perfect place for me to work. I enjoy being a therapist because I feel it was the path I was meant to follow. I look forward to accepting new clients.

Art has been wonderful. He is kind yet firm and direct. You can tell he is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. I look forward to my sessions with Art, focusing on CPTSD, grief, and anxiety. He always responds in a timely manner.

Although my time with Art has been brief, I couldn't recommend his services enough. I find him to be incredibly patient and actively listens to you, giving you all the time you need to talk. He also provides great insight and clearly has a great amount of experience helping people. It is very clear that he is extremely effective in helping people to find the tools they need to work through their problems and I'm grateful that I was matched with him. This has been my first experience with therapy, but I would be more than happy to recommend his services.

I am in my early stages of therapy. Arthur Hastings has been great. He is easy to talk to and caring, I’m looking forward to more sessions with him.

I vibe very well with Arthur. I explained to him how I respond to certain things and/or comments and he adjusted his style to fit me as opposed to expecting me to adjust mine which I liked a lot. This small, but large gesture allows me to be more open and vulnerable so we can get to the crux of whatever is bothering me.

Art has all the needed tools and experience to help people work through their issues. He's personable and attentive. Very helpful in my own troubles.
