Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

Navigating the college years is amazing and low key terrifying at times. Things happen when we get out on our own. We don't always want to turn to certain people for a variety of reasons - privacy, embarrassment, or maybe feeling like you should know how to handle it and you are realizing you need some guidance. Money issues, social dynamics, romantic interactions, or becoming independent from our family of origin, are all things that can really kick us in the teeth when we strike out on our own. It's normal to become overwhelmed by the emotions and awareness. Issues from our past might catch up to us as well. That's shocking particularly if life is grand otherwise. Therapy can help get a grip on emotions and create a secure foundation to evaluate self worth as well as process complicated scenarios. I hope to hear from you!

Anxiety can be a controlling force that keeps us from living the lives we want. I work with adults struggling with anxiety; which can look like excessive worry, self-critical thoughts, or struggling with life change. I help people acknowledge and process anxiety in a safe space at their own pace. My passion is to help people become unglued from anxiety so that they can live meaningful lives; lives that are inspired by their values and the people they care about. I utilize EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people get unstuck from their difficulties so they live the lives they want to live. Together, we'll practice methods to help you get unstuck from anxiety while also exploring ways you can engage with the things that make life meaningful like your family, friends, or your values. Deciding to pursue therapy can be a scary choice, but it can also be the choice that helps you become the person you know you can be. I want to journey with you to help you reach your full potential. If you are ready to embark on this journey, feel free to reach out. I can't wait to meet you!

I'm a little weird and sarcastic and work best with clients who are a little weird and sarcastic. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma - this may include religious trauma, sexual assault, harrassment, bullying, intimate partner violence, human trafficking, violent crimes, accidents, incarceration, and refugee status. I also have experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and OCD, and those dealing with life transitions, including transition to and out of college, changes in identity and changes in religion/loss of faith.

CO-HELP OVER SELF-HELP!! Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting concerns, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a certified professional to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change. I implement effective therapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and caretaker alike. Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and go above and beyond to cater to their needs. I truly care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lauren Necesario Smith and I am a clinical psychologist and owner of LNS Psychological Services. I specialize in working with adults who experience concerns with depression, anxiety, difficulty with life transitions, and chronic pain. Do you find yourself shutting down when feeling really overwhelmed? Or maybe feel like you've spent a majority of your life not liking yourself? Do you want to be able to find some sort of quality of life but feel like you're not quite sure where to start? I'm passionate about inviting you to discover just how resilient you are and helping you find mental and emotional healing on your wellness journey. I approach treatment using a combination of cognitive behavioral approaches while also integrating aspects of DBT, ACT, mindfulness based stress reduction, psychodynamic, and psychoeducation.

It's been some time since you felt like you. Have you noticed that you been withdrawn? Overwhelmed? Maybe you are noticing that your feelings of being down, sad, worried, or anxious just aren't going away. Maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, that your life is turned upside down, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. You've thought about reaching out for therapy, but you weren't sure. It's ok. We are here. Reach out today. We help you feel like you again. Through engaging in counseling we will assist you in accomplishing your goals. We believe that each of us encounters our own challenges in the course of creating a full life and that through partnering with a helping professional the path of improving your own wellness may be a bit brighter. We strongly believe in each individual’s capacity for growth and insight. Engaging in therapy with one of our therapists and starting (or continuing) your healing process, we believe you can develop and strengthen your own inner light and we hope to share in this process with you. As your collaborative partner, our clinicians will use their attuned listening skills, reflections, and specialized training to provide quality, individualized, and counseling and psychotherapy. Taking the first step towards change is never easy, but is often rewarding. When you are ready to take a step on a new path, let us be there to help you strengthen your own Bright Light. Our clinicians work with young adults, college students, and adults who are diverse in their identities, life experiences, and backgrounds. Areas of expertise include treating anxiety, depression, life transitions/adjustments, emotion regulation, traumas and stressful experiences, cultural and racial stress, and relationship issues. Additionally, each of our clinicians have their own areas of expertise. You can learn more about our clinicians on our website.

School can be some of the most rewarding years of your life but they can also be overwhelming. Between classes, internships, work, relationships, family expectations, finances, and figuring out who you are and where you're headed, sometimes it's good to have some extra support. Therapy gives you a place to talk openly about what's going on, without judgment. Whether you're feeling anxious, stressed, burned out, stuck, lonely, or simply trying to make sense of a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with college and graduate students on concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, identity exploration, gender identity, academic stress, life transitions, binge eating, and body image. Many of my clients are also learning how to manage life on their own for the first time and are discovering that no one ever really taught them how to handle the emotional side of money. As a Certified Financial Social Worker, I can help you develop a healthier relationship with money, spending, debt, budgeting, and financial decision-making. Together, we can explore both the practical and emotional aspects of financial wellness so you feel more confident and in control. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I'll meet you where you are, help you build on your strengths, and offer practical tools along the way. If you're curious about working together, I'd be happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Help for Anxiety and Trauma: Do you struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, restlessness, or feeling lonely? Do you run from one thing to the next? Do you put off lunch and bathroom breaks until your body is shouting for your attention? You work to fix things. You read self-development books, exercise, try to eat well, and stay hydrated. Part of you thinks you could do more -and do better. I can help. Together, we create a weekly therapy that both honors the strengths of hustle culture, and creates the experience of something different: being present in the moment, a sense of connection, etc. Whether problem-solving or overthinking, your mind is a powerhouse. In therapy, we use this strength while also building your literacy in your body and emotions. It's experiential. Consider: How do you know when a person is sitting too close to you? Attention to that body-level sense of knowing is what sets this approach apart from other talk therapy. Therapy can help you experience a felt sense of safety within yourself and in the external world -becoming a launching pad to whatever you choose. And yet the things bringing you to therapy are the same things that make it difficult to reach out to a therapist. Watch my introduction video (https://vimeo.com/1042175031) to get a vibe check, then book a consultation to find out whether we're a good fit.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope. I provide a warm and nurturing, non-judgmental space that will enable you to explore and work on your goals. Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path" - Anonymous

My name is Dr. Christy Sutton, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in 2015, a CACREP-accredited program, and have since completed my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Together, we identify meaningful goals, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical strategies that foster lasting change. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, attachment-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR-informed techniques when appropriate. I also emphasize the importance of self-care, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and building on each client's existing strengths to promote resilience and overall well-being. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, schools, homes, community-based programs, and private practice. My clinical experience includes helping individuals navigate trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, family conflict, and stress-related challenges. I am passionate about helping clients develop the skills and confidence needed to manage life's difficulties while creating meaningful and fulfilling lives. For clients who desire it, I am also honored to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith and spirituality into the counseling process in a manner that respects each person's beliefs and values.
