Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN
Balanced Life Counseling Services, LLC
Being in college can be challenging and stressful in many ways. You encounter so many new things that you've never had to do or deal with in your life before. The things that are familiar are now so much more intensified. For some, this leaves them feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. You can feel like a boat being tossed around in high swells during a raging storm. I like helping people make sense of what is going on, learn ways to calm the storm and steer their life, and become more confident to meet challenges they encounter. My approach is that we are a team. I have the training and knowledge to guide this journey, but you are the one who leads the way. If you would like to learn more about my background and types of therapies I use, please visit my website at www.balancedlifecsllc.com or call me at 317-742-9771 for a free 15 minute "meet and greet". I offer in-person and virtual sessions (as long as you are in the state of Indiana where I am licensed). I have my practice hours listed but am flexible if you need to meet outside of them.
Nicole Liedtke
The mission of Restore & Recover is to provide confidential and person-specific therapy to those struggling with a variety of issues that modern life brings. Since 1999, I have been working in the social services field. During the past 25 years, mental health and addictions treatment has changed dramatically. This has taught me that there is no "One Size Fits All" treatment style. After receiving my Masters degree from Indiana University in 2006, I was given the opportunity to work in one of Indianapolis' inner city hospitals. I have always accredited this time in my life as being where I truly learned how to be a therapist. After time spent there, I moved into a more specialized role in addictions treatment. As well as a leadership role in Hamilton County with a local community mental health agency and then moved into my private practice career. I am not the most traditional therapist. I am laid back while also direct. My hope is that when you enter my office you feel at-home, having a comfortable chat with a friend while receiving the benefits of a skilled clinician. When providing any treatment, but especially substance abuse treatment, I believe strongly that my role is not to tell you what to do, but to help motivate you to make the changes you know you need. I believe that there are many roads that can get us to the destination we desire. I hope to help guide you there as quickly and painlessly as possible. I provide evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, trauma, adjustment disorders, stress management, addictions (including Suboxone maintenance) as well as court-ordered treatment. I have worked with those in the LGBTQ+- community through out entire career. I also provide substance abuse assessments for both court-ordered clients as well as EAP.
Hayley Craig, LCSW
We all need someone to talk to at times, and I have dedicated my career to being that person for others. As a LCSW, I have over 6 years of experience. I enjoy working with teens and young adults to help with problems adjusting to life’s changes, relationship issues, unhealthy boundaries with family, friends and/or others, and poor self-esteem and self-worth. One of my aims is to build a compassionate and relaxed environment for clients to open up and collaborate to realize and accomplish goals. A large part of my practice has been in the treatment of grief and loss, trauma and healing, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. We will work using different techniques such as, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I like to build on strengths that patients already possess but may not see. My style is laid back and client centered. I have a strong sense of compassion and commitment to helping others and understand that, for some, beginning counseling may be a difficult decision. I will meet you where you are to get you where you want to be. Let’s work together to improve life and start thriving!
Lexia Shelton

My goal is to empower you to gain insight, align your life to your values, build new skills, and find a holistic sense of balance in life. My approach to counseling involves integrating techniques from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapy. I also offer faith-based, Christian counseling for those who desire to integrate Biblical truth and beliefs into their therapeutic journey.

You CAN make sustainable change! Find the guidance, strength, confidence, education, therapeutic insights, resources, and supports you need to create long-term change in any area of your life! Life never ceases to present us with challenges in all aspects of life-family, relationships, personal, parenting, spiritual, mental, etc. Sometimes those challenges seem more manageable than others, sometimes we find ourselves feeling like we can barely function anymore. Either way, having a professional you can talk things through with, will help you identify the whats, understand the whys, and process through the hows. You are not alone, and going through the therapy process will empower you to feel more capable of facing your challenges, and create healthy, sustainable change for the future!

I work with a wide range of concerns including the transition to college, career choices, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, family conflicts, and relationship issues.

Therapy offers a way to gain greater self-understanding with clarity and compassion. I would love to talk with you further about how I can help. Email or text is the best way to reach me!

There are many reasons why someone might want to come to therapy. Are you feeling sad, worried, irritable or angry most of the time? Maybe it feels hard to regulate your mood. You could be an athlete that feels stuck or has a mental block. You may have experienced trauma. You could be going through a difficult time in your life due to stress, grief or life changes. Your relationships with your friends or responsibilities at school might feel overwhelming. Any of these situations can leave you feeling lonely, stuck or hopeless.

Dragonfly Family Counseling LLC
My favorite part of therapy is talking things out with an empathic therapist and then returning to session the following week and sharing how my new knowledge/strategy/skill worked out for me. I am happy to suggest goals, ideas, strategies, skills, or resources depending on your need. Or I am happy to listen to you while you work out your own thoughts & feelings.

Rebecca Cola
Hello, I’m Becky. I earned a Master of Social Work Degree (MSW) from Indiana University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Therapist. Much of my work has been spent in advocating for vulnerable populations. I recently have moved into doing Private Practice work to target individual needs with my experience as a social worker providing us a large catalog of resources. We all want and need to be validated, supported, encouraged, motivated and above all, heard. I work especially well with those who are first timers or doubters of therapy or who wonder what therapy is or those who have had a “bad” exposure to therapy. I take the ”Bohemian” approach in therapy focusing on self-awareness, self-love, self-worth and building confidence by utilizing the strengths of each person and building on them before tackling some of the deeper feelings and emotions. When we are in a place where we feel strong and authentic, we can tackle anything together. I strive to make therapy comfortable and fun. My therapeutic approach is CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy). Along with active listening, I do goal setting, craft therapy, play therapy and develop coping and management skills through music, ASMR, story telling and walking along side you. I also am skilled in dream interpretation (Carl Yung/Sigmund Freud).

Crow's Chroma Art Therapy
College can be a lot: new independence, academic pressure, identity questions, relationships, and figuring out who you are when everything is changing. Sometimes it's hard to find the words for what you're carrying. That's where art can help. I'm Hannah (Grae) Krodel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) offering online therapy to students anywhere in Indiana. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with art-making. You don't need any art experience or "talent." Art is simply another way to explore feelings, work through stress, and see your situation from a new angle. We can use as much or as little of it as feels right to you. My goal is to offer a space that is warm, collaborative, and free of judgment, where you set the pace and we work toward what matters to you. Sessions are fully virtual, so it's easy to fit therapy between classes or from your dorm or apartment. I'm in-network with Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna/Evernorth, Carelon, Ascension SmartHealth, and Curative, and I also accept Aetna, Anthem, and Cigna EAPs.

University life is full of excitement and challenges. Often, we need support to feel our best. I specialize in working with college students who are navigating the pressures of academic life, personal growth, and emotional well-being. My practice focuses on helping students work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress; I strive to create a supportive non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Being a student can often feel overwhelming, with academic demands, social expectations, and sometimes personal struggles all happening at once. I'm here to help you build the tools you need to manage these challenges and create a path towards emotional balance and resilience.

Heart Space Mental Health
Presence and accompaniment matter. Relationships transform. We can more easily connect to our true self and touch emotional distress in the presence of another's settled nervous system. Neurobiology and mindfulness science has proven that the human brain can be distraught while simultaneously observing the self with compassion. The ability to be both experiencing and holding the experience is the key to maintaining calm when facing challenges. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxiety, anger, depression, or find yourself reacting in ways that leave you feeling alone and hurt, we can come to be with all of it with gentle awareness and respect. Utilizing attuned presence and offering stabilizing mind-body approaches, I support clients in restoring and strengthening connection with themselves and the world around them. It is in the warmth of healthy relationship that we offer our brains the ability to rewire. Our journey will allow space for joy, for pain, for greater self awareness and compassion. Restoring balance, re-engaging with connection, and igniting wisdom through awareness is possible. Please visit my website to schedule your free, 15 minute initial consultation. I look forward to meeting and walking alongside you.
