I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 22 years of experience counseling primarily adults in the state of Indiana. I believe in the practice of "unconditional positive regard," meaning I will never be judgmental or shaming during my time with you. Instead, I will be sincere, engaging, supportive and encouraging you in your journey towards a better you.
My experience in counseling includes those with Depression, Grief, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD, Relationship issues, Abuse (sexual and domestic), Shame-based Family of Origin issues, Co-Dependency, and Addictions.
In therapy I use a blend of Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral therapies, which focuses on how our thinking, feeling, and behavior can drive dysfunctional living, and
conversely, how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be changed to produce a healthier, productive lifestyle. To that end, in addition to talk therapy, I use didactic, experiential, and the use of parables to help facilitate your progress. The use of "homework" I find keeps clients engaged in the therapy process while not in session.
If you choose to work with me, together we will make a plan of treatment based on your goals for seeking treatment, and I will walk with you every step of the way.
I am fully aware you have tried everything else before walking through the virtual door and I respect you for your courage in seeking help at this time.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Co-morbidity, Codependency, Dependent Personality, Drug and Alcohol Addiction, Family of Origin Issues, Guilt and shame, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Military and Veterans Issues, Mood disorders , Obsessions, Compulsions, and OCD, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Paranoia, Personality Disorders, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Sexual Assault and Abuse, Social anxiety and phobia, Traumatic Brain Injury, Young Adult Issues

Emily is the best. Hands down. She genuinely cares for her patients and has always made me feel at home in our sessions. She’s helped me learn so much about myself and worked with me on things no other therapist has. She does the deep digging that’s helped me grow and gave me the guidance I needed to make it through hard situations.

Emily has played a huge part in helping get my life turned around for the better. She is so caring and patient with you as you talk through things. Joining better help and having Emily as my therapist has changed my life more than I could have imagined.

Easy to talk to from the start. Even in the first session she asked just the right questions to make me have one of those "aha" moments. That's a sign of a good therapist in my opinion..... really getting someone to 'see' their own stuff.

Speaking with Emily feels more like speaking with an aunt or someone you look up to than it feels like being in "Therapy". She does not miss a thing and even when I first met her and told her about a confusing work experience involving many people, she kept track of the name of each person and what happened. She listens very actively and anything she says is very specific to what I was speaking about. She helped me go from trembling anxiety/Depression/Xanax to being happily employed with a job where I have set boundaries for myself & my employer and I make time for myself & enjoy my life and family again. I am very grateful to her.
