I am a License Clinical Social Worker in Indianapolis, In. I have over 20yrs in the field working with youth and families. I received my undergraduate degree from Central State University and my MSW from Indiana University in 2014. I have worked as a case manager, care coordinator and a Homebased Therapist. I have worked with different families on a myriad of issues from serious mental health issues, anger management and family conflict.
It is my goal in therapy to help the client process their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. To help them realize that they have the knowledge, power and courage to change their current situation, I always say to my clients "I don't have the answers, I just have the questions to lead you to your answers". Sometimes people just need someone to listen and help them wade through the white noise. It is always my goal to help people reach and maintain optimal mental health whatever that looks like to them. If you are ready to reach your optimal mental health contact me, so that together we can help you become the best version or yourself.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Self esteem
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Elwanda Haynes has been incredibly respectful, caring and I feel truly heard for the first time in over a decade. It's been a rollercoaster that brought me to BetterHelp but I'm glad I did it, Elwanda has been everything I could have hoped for.
