Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

**Telehealth Only** Navigating life's ups and downs can feel like trying to assemble furniture with missing instructions, right? That's where I come in. I'm here to help you find those missing pieces and build a life that feels more sturdy and fulfilling. As a therapist, I utilize evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you process through past, present, and future challenges. Think of me as your guide, armed with a toolkit of strategies and a healthy dose of humor (because sometimes, you just have to laugh). In our sessions, you'll find a safe and supportive environment where you can openly explore your experiences. I specialize in working with adults 18 and up, addressing a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, work or school issues, parenting struggles, building healthy relationships, boundary setting, trauma, and grief. I'm also a proud LGBTQ+ ally, committed to providing inclusive and affirming care. My goal is to help you develop the skills and resilience you need to thrive, while offering warmth, compassion, and maybe even a few well-timed jokes along the way.

Gabriel Counseling Services, Inc. was founded out of a need to provide the highest quality mental health and wellness services to community members in Indiana and Michigan. Through professional experience working at the VA, in hospice care, and in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, a significant shortage of psychologists in the area became evident. In response to this need, Gabriel Counseling Services was established and has since provided psychological care and public education focused on mental health and wellness within the community. As the practice has grown, additional helping professionals and locations have been added, allowing Gabriel Counseling Services to offer a broader range of services. Our goal is to empower individuals, strengthen the community, and help improve the overall quality of life for those we serve.

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.

Do you feel spread too thin, like ice on the verge of breaking? Do you feel like you have to "do it all," which leaves you overwhelmed and stressed?

Mental health is vital to our overall well-being. Sometimes having someone to talk to can make all the difference in our ability to cope. It's important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and who will help you feel safe in a nonjudgmental environment. Have you ever had difficulty processing a traumatic experience? Sometimes talk therapy alone is not enough, but brainspotting is an effective treatment that can help. Brainspotting uses your eyes to locate the part of your brain where a traumatic experience is stored and reprocess it. I am a Level Two Brainspotting trained therapist. In today's world, it can be difficult to create time to stop and figure out why we are becoming stuck. I will encourage you to pause and use your own inner resources to find a path forward.

Do you ever feel like your brain won't let something go? Maybe you overthink every decision, replay conversations long after they've happened, procrastinate until you're overwhelmed, or find yourself stuck in routines and habits that you know aren't helping but can't seem to change. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Through WellQor, I provide online therapy for college students and young adults, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. I enjoy working with students who feel trapped in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, or other patterns that interfere with their ability to enjoy life and reach their goals. One thing I've learned after more than a decade as a therapist is that lasting change is rarely about trying harder. More often, it's about understanding why a pattern exists in the first place and learning new ways to respond to it. Therapy can help you step out of autopilot, build confidence in yourself, and make choices that align with the life you want to create. If you're tired of feeling stuck in the same loops and are ready to try something different, I'd love to help you take that next step.

Hi! I'm Susan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist trained as a medical and psychiatric social worker. I've built my career around the connection between physical and mental health, and I often work with people facing more than one challenge at once. Trauma, grief and loss, and significant anxiety are some of the areas I help clients with most. I'm an educator as much as a therapist. I want you to understand the why and how of what you're going through, along with the choices you have for working through it. I love helping people uncover the layers of their history and make changes so they can enjoy the present more. After all these years, my clients are still my biggest inspiration. Their courage and willingness to open up to change is what makes this work so rewarding. As your therapist, I promise to listen, be honest, and tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Therapy can feel scary, but think of me as a bright light in your darkest places. One of my favorite sayings sums it up: "Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." Those "aha" moments are what therapy is all about. Change is inevitable, so why not learn to manage it well? One's life is far more important than a car, and a lot more complex, so let's learn to drive yours better. I look forward to meeting you! Susan Patterson, LCSW

Kylie Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana whose work centers on the seasons of life that ask more of you than you expected. She has a particular soft spot for moms and the guilt that so often comes with the role, and she supports clients through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that follow. Alongside that, she works with anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, and big transitions like leaving home, changing paths, or figuring out who you are becoming. Her background includes years with teens and high risk youth, so nothing you bring is going to rattle her. She pulls from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness and meditation practices, and trauma informed care, and she is currently completing certification in TF-CBT.

Kylie sees clients through WellQor, which provides therapy online, so you can meet from wherever you feel comfortable and unhurried.
