Like anywhere with a large population, a number of people in Indianapolis may be experiencing life challenges such as domestic violence, family conflict, or trauma from unresolved issues. 

For those seeking support from a therapist, Indianapolis, Indiana may seem like a sure thing for finding a perfect match. But even in a big city, there’s difficulty knowing what mental health professional is going to be best to meet your needs. Finding a therapist with an extensive background in the area you need, whether it be anxiety disorders, eating disorders, or self-discovery isn’t always easy. 

That’s where online therapy from a platform like BetterHelp can help. BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health professionals with specialties in any number of specialties like cognitive behavior therapy, EMDR, or a holistic approach to mental health. By filling out an online questionnaire, you can be matched with a therapist that meets your own goals and needs. Many people also find it far more convenient to meet with a therapist online. Appointments can fit into any busy schedule, and sessions can be attended from the comfort of your own home or office through video chat, phone, or text messaging. 

The road to self-knowledge and self-discovery can sometimes use a helpful guide. The therapists at BetterHelp can offer coping skills, stress management techniques, and relaxation exercises that can lead to improved mental health and feelings of well-being. If you’re a professional or student living in the Columbus area and feel that it’s time to make a positive change in your life, therapy with one of BetterHelp’s many licensed counselors can be beneficial in helping you reach that goal.

We will work to identify your goals and current barriers, and together we’ll find healthy ways to cope with or remove those barriers. As we go along, I encourage you to let me know what does or does not work for you - I am always open to your feedback. After all, these are your therapy sessions, and I want you to find value in them. If at any time you have questions regarding my approach, please don’t hesitate to ask.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted. We're wounded in relationships... and we're healed in relationships. Let me help. Here's what I believe: Things can be different. You can effect change in your life, on the inside and on the outside. You can feel better and get better. You can move toward what's meaningful to you. Here's How I Can Help: Internal "Stuff": The thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations that try to prevent movement toward what's meaningful to you. External "Stuff": The conflict that lives in the space between committed people that erodes trust and commitment, preventing movement toward the bond. Traumatic Memories: Fragments of emotional intensity trapped in the mind and body, triggering cascades of turbulence that interfere with daily living. I'm a therapist and clinical counselor based in Westfield, IN, and I'm about helping you move toward what's meaningful to you, when your thoughts and feelings try to get in the way. Know this: I want this to work as much as you do, and I will never judge you.
