As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that each family unit is unique. When positive growth or change is made by one member of the family, each member benefits. I started my career in 1998 as a teacher for students with special needs and as a public school guidance counselor. In 2011, I decided to earn my LMFT degree as it was becoming more clear that our families and past experiences strongly shape decisions we make and behaviors we choose as adults. My therapeutic approach varies as to what you need. Some people benefit from Solution-Focused, brief-type therapy, while others may need a more collaborative, educational approach. I offer EMDR for trauma/PTSD and Prepare-Enrich curriculum for couples' needs. I will be a supportive, empathetic listener and will take time to craft my services around your individual needs, whether that is working through events in your past or planning a healthy future. My goal is to empower you to become the best YOU!

I am a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in the field for almost 9 years. I completed my Bachelor's of Psychology in 2009 and went straight into a Master's of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I received my Master's Degree in 2012. Since then I have worked with families, couples, and individuals of all ages. I work as a counselor in a college setting as well, and I am very familiar with the issues that come with college and young adulthood. My approach to counseling is individualized from person to person. I am warm, encouraging, and down-to-earth while also having a directive approach in session. Areas of interest include anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment and stress, family issues, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. I tend to view client's stories through a trauma-informed lens. I have extensive history working with victims of abuse, domestic violence, and sexual violence. I am an advocate for social justice and equality. In my work with clients, I am sure to provide services individualized to your specific and unique needs and goals. I strive to work with you and along side you. Building on strengths is something important that I do with my work with clients. Also, insight building is a big part of what I do in treatment. Once an individual gains some insight into their patterns, thoughts, and behaviors then we can move forward with change. Taking that first step to reach out to a provider can be very difficult. I am glad that you are practicing self-care by exploring counseling options. If you are ready to begin your journey, I am here to walk alongside you. I look forward to working with you!

My degrees encompass Christian Counseling with a Theology minor from Fort Wayne Bible College. A Psychology /Industrial Psychology BS from University of St. Francis and a Masters Degree in Psychology also from the University of St. Francis. My theory of approach is from William Glasser's work on Reality Therapy. How is helping you to do what you do? What do you need to do about that? And, when do you want to Change? I marry that with Christian Counseling applications. Not only do I teach people how to study the Word, but how to apply it to their own lives in todays world. I work best with teens, individual issues, marriage counseling, widows, widowers, new normal life skills. Interview for a new job, nutrition suggestions, personality and behavior issues, and how to deal with difficult people. And, especially Emotional Forgiveness Skills.

10+ years of well-rounded experience has given me an advantage in helping people work through a variety of issues that are important to them. Experience includes work with all ages, homelessness, families and substance use issues (including medication assisted therapy). My goal is to see individuals not only survive, but to thrive. Skilled at using Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques and Solution-Focused questions that can improve mental health functioning. Persons who respond well to encouragement, and who are willing to try new coping measures and communication skills, will be surprised at how much clearer they will see their circumstances and choices. Acceptance, normalization when appropriate, occasional challenging questions, and use of relaxation exercises as strategies of therapy will help improve one's quality of life. I like to see those I serve leave with greater emotional intelligence, laughing often, forgiving frequently and being able to see a more positive future. If I have helped anyone to have hope - I have achieved a step towards their healing. I frequently provide homework assignments and processing when talk therapy or listening doesn't lead to the results desired. Give me a call when you feel ready to make life changes in the area that you feel is appropriate and we will work together at your level of comfort to make the positive changes you desire. For those wishing to address PTSD consider visiting me in the office for Accelerated Resolution Therapy. BetterHelp does not provide a format for in person treatment - this would be private pay or insurance funding.

I am Melody McKibbin, a licensed therapist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on this page. I specialize in personality disorders and Christian faith-based counseling. I am certified in DBT and a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I am pursuing my Ph.D in Psychology at Liberty University with a concentration in Theology. I have 4 years of experience in private practice and community mental health settings and am passionate about serving individuals ages 25 and up. I’m from Texas, have been married for 14 years, and have a teenage daughter and two Russian Blue cats. Outside of work, I love painting, hanging with my Russian Blue cats, writing fiction, and spending time with friends. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people grow into their best selves. I identify as a conservative Christian, and I can incorporate faith-based counseling and Biblical insights into our sessions. Psalm 91:11-12 "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways, they will lift you in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stone."

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in painful relationship patterns or are unsure of who they are becoming. I work with teens and adults who want a space to better understand themselves, build healthy relationships and grow from trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. I often help clients explore the different parts of themselves that hold difficult feelings, past experiences or protective patterns so we can understand them with curiosity rather than criticism. Together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on practical insight, emotional regulation and meaningful change. What Sessions with Me Are Like Our sessions are meant to be a supportive and thoughtful space where you don't have to filter or perform. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe being honest about what you're experiencing, even if it is confusing, painful or difficult to put into words. In our work together, we'll slow down and explore what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts and emotions. Rather than judging or trying to "fix" parts of yourself, we focus on understanding them with curiosity and compassion. This often helps people develop emotional clarity, self-trust and healthier ways of responding to challenges. Some sessions may involve reflecting on patterns in your relationships or past experiences while others may focus on practical tools for managing emotions, communication or stress. My goal is for therapy to feel collaborative, respectful of your pace and genuinely helpful for you to build the life you want to live.

Hi y'all! My name is Aubrey (she/her), and I'm a clinical social worker licensed in Indiana. I work with people with a wide array of concerns, including depression and anxiety, substance use, behavioral addictions, and chronic pain/illness. I also have extensive experience with the child welfare and foster care and can help navigate life in or after involvement in these systems. In therapy sessions, I focus on encouraging and supporting you with your challenges, and helping you finding new paths forward. I use a mix of trauma-informed and client-centered treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I also use humor in my sessions, because sometimes the best way to take power away from the uncomfortable thoughts is to point out the absurd parts of life. In our first session, we'll go over your therapy goals and current symptoms to create a plan for how to move forward. You're in the driver's seat, and I'll be your navigator. I'm looking forward to meeting you and starting this journey together!
