Welcome! My name is Lisa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Indiana University and have 17 years experience in the Social Work field in the areas of child welfare, advocacy, prevention, crisis management and mental health services. My therapeutic experience has been diverse and has included work with individuals, couples and families of all ages. I am passionate about clinical work and have specialized in the areas of addiction and recovery, sexual abuse, domestic violence, trauma, and suicide prevention. In practice, I am committed to providing a safe environment for those I work with and I utilize Solution-focused therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness skills, meditation skills development and Systems approaches to tailor a specific treatment approach for each client. I am dedicated to advocating for social justice and attempt to foster personal growth and individual empowerment in others. In terms of availability, I work hard to make myself as available as possible for my clients. I check and respond to messages at least once daily Mondays through Friday. On weekends, I am not available. I also offer several different options for live sessions (chat or phone) and these are scheduled by appointment only. I look forward to working with you!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Faith and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Indiana. I have been in the social services field for over 10 years. I have much experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, anger management, and relationship stressors. Anyone who knows me would describe me as highly empathic, compassionate, caring and committed to making a difference in the lives of others. I have experience in both roles of therapy, as therapist and client. I understand the difficulty in seeking help, being vulnerable and facing personal struggles. I value and respect the lives of each of my clients and admire the strength and resiliency that I am privileged to see in my work every day. In our work together, I will help you connect to these strengths within you and work collaboratively to help overcome the struggles that you face. I believe that each of us has a greater purpose in this life and counseling is one of many tools to help achieve our highest potential. My counseling approach is eclectic, meaning that I draw from a combination of counseling theory and techniques. Each of us is unique in our thoughts, feelings and worldview; therefore, I believe therapy should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. I am continuously researching treatments and perspectives from professionals in the counseling field, and utilize strategies from a holistic perspective, integrating mind, body and spirit for optimum health. If you feel ready to take the next step to a more fulfilling life, I would love to accompany you along that journey!

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose goal is to help you find your best life possible. I have experience working with many types of issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, coping with health issues, divorce, abuse and specifically those victimized by narcissists, high-conflict individuals or antisocial personality disordered partners. Building rapport is fundamental to helping you to feel comfortable in disclosing your experiences, current-life situations, and problematic issues. It also is necessary to foster trust so that the change experience can take place. Counseling is a partnership in which you play a significant role in creating the change. Defining the problem, identifying your strengths, deciding on goals and then finding a pathway to those goals is what counseling is all about. Let's work on achieving those goals! Modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An integrated approach can be utilized as well. I am known for being caring, sensitive, empathetic and a good listener. Making a change starts with trust, experience, technique, and motivation. You can find them all here with me and begin to live your best life now.

In my practice, I focus on walking with clients through some of the most difficult events in their lives. Whether you've considered an experience “traumatic” or not, if it still haunts you or causes you uncomfortable physical responses like a racing heart or nausea, these can be treated with EMDR or Brainspotting. I, myself, am a trauma survivor, which is why I became a counselor/coach in the first place. I want to help others heal as I have. Utilizing modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can unlock sensations of safety, clarity and freedom in life. I am licensed in California and Indiana with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, finding self esteem, and building confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I know how scary and overwhelming the self healing process can seem. I want to encourage you to be compassionate and patient with yourself. Any and all progress is valuable, so please take these next steps with me.

I am licensed in Indiana with 16 years of professional work experience. In that time I have seen and treated most mental health disorders out there. I specialize in anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am certified as in a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR); both evidenced-based treatments for trauma. But more over I view most mental health problems as ways we have learned to adapt to our environments, and I as therapist help to teach you skills and create new beliefs to stop the maladaptive cycles we all get stuck in. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I also use a lot of humor and try build a trusting connection with my clients. So while there maybe tears, I also hope there will be a lot of laughter.
