Many of us can benefit from mental health support at some point in our lives. Daily stress, life challenges, and family conflict can sometimes feel overwhelming. Therapy can offer the tools needed to manage stress, cope with change, and repair relationships. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Carmel, IN may offer more choice than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be challenging, even in a city. There are many therapeutic approaches available, and the type of therapy that you want or need may not necessarily be available in your neighborhood. This is where online therapy can help. BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to an array of mental health service providers who specialize in everything from grief therapy to the behavioral challenges of personality disorders. Simply fill out an online questionnaire, and BetterHelp will match you with a Carmel-based therapist that meets your needs. 

Another common roadblock to therapy is that many do not find clinics or offices a relaxed environment for sharing, especially if they experience behavioral issues that make it difficult to interact in person. Online sessions are not only convenient, but allow you to meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. And because therapeutic alliance and compassionate care can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists, you can do so at no additional cost.

Below is a list of Carmel, IN-based professionals, from licensed clinical social workers to licensed clinical psychologists. Many have worked extensively in specific therapeutic modalities--click on a profile to find out more about their licensure, certifications, and experience. If you have been thinking about therapy for any reason, for processing past experiences, improving communication skills, or simply working on self-improvement, there is no better time to get started.

Hello! If you are reading this, you have found Better Help and probably have a ton of questions about therapy and this whole process. Is online counseling right for you? Am I the right counselor to talk too? I can totally relate to that moment when you start the search for a therapist and make the decision to seek help for yourself. Therapy is scary, at least it was for me when I started. I remember the moment when I sat down on the couch across from a stranger with their clipboard and pen and I was expected to bare my soul. Funny, I was supposed to tell this person all my problems and through words they were magically going to help me… Well it worked! Though therapy is a little more than just talking and Better Help is online therapy, I still believe in the therapy process and my ability to help you during this dark time. My name is Christina and I have been a client before. Today I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been practicing for almost seven years. Throughout those seven years I have learned and come to believe that therapy can help! I graduated from The University of Southern Indiana with my Bachelors in Social Work in 2012 and my Masters in Social Work in 2013. I started working for a local mental health agency, providing therapy services to adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples. After six and half years I made the choice to step away from the big mental health agency concept and start a private practice so that I can truly connect and help my clients on a more personal level. I provide my clients with understanding, knowledge, and my own raw emotion in attempts to connect with them, understand their unique situation, and join together in a journey that will lead my clients to overall better health. While I am new to providing online therapy, I am very experience in making a connection with my clients, meeting them where they are in life, and helping them navigate through dark times. My passion is working with individuals, families, and couples in identifying areas in their life that are in need of a change. This change can be through physical health, by learning better eating habits, developing weight loss goals, improving how they treat their body, and/or improving their sleep and physical activity. Many of my clients I work with are working towards more positive thought processes, acceptance of the things they can’t change, healing from past relationships, and healing from past grief, shame, and guilt that has kept their minds and bodies in a state of depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger. I deliver and match the energy and motivation my client brings to me because I truly understand what it is like to experience pain, depression, anxiety, and need to change. I will work with you to reach your full potential and achieve your therapy goals. With a little hard work, determination, and wiliness to achieve change you will leave therapy being thankful for that moment when you decided to go to Better Help.com, find a therapist, and sign on to your first therapy session with a stranger who didn’t actually expect you to bare your soul. Honestly, I just expect you to be broken and honest, just like me!

Hello and welcome! My name is Ellen Minter and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the helping profession for 17 years. Over the years, I have worked with various populations in various capacities. In addition to being a therapist, I have spent time as a teacher, sexual assault victim advocate, hospice social worker, and direct support professional for the developmentally disabled. I learned many things in these roles and it is those things, accompanied with my own personal life experiences that have most equipped me with the necessary skills and understanding to help you navigate the transitions of your life. My therapeutic style is humorous, warm, and direct. While my role may be to help you feel better, I find that minimizing and appeasement are counterproductive to that goal. Always, I am honest and direct. I am very open-minded and I try to be respectful of all I work with. I have a bit of a multi-modal approach. I find that various techniques from different approaches, can work in conjunction in different situations. Life is hard and unpredictable. I hope to help make things easier for you.
