Therapists for college students near Indianapolis, IN

Do you strive for inner peace, miss who you used to be? Do you find yourself struggling in current relationships or the future you set for yourself? What about expectations you thought you should be living up to but they are not happening? Do you find it hard to express your feelings without feeling the need to justify them? Do you find yourself indulging in certain addictions but don't know why. Are you losing a sense of self or your "why" in life? With my 20+ years of experience, I can adapt the best choice of therapy for you and help you find inner peace and together we can fight to overcome those internal struggles with daily life. I believe together we can change our thoughts, feelings and behaviors so we can experience more positive outcomes in life. Happiness is something we create for ourselves. If you struggle with this I would like the opportunity to explore this with you and better help you understand why. Change starts from within, there is hope and together we can make that happen. I have a gentle but direct way of challenging yourself to help you work toward your inner peace. I provide a safe and secure environment to freely express yourself. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor in Indiana.

Hello! My name is Morgan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since starting my career in 2015, I have worked in community-based mental health, private practice, schools and hospitals. Since 2021, I have primarily worked in tele-health, so I am well versed in making virtual sessions as comfortable and productive as possible. Before becoming a therapist, I played college volleyball. When I think of the most difficult times in my life, transitioning from high school to college is near the top. Trying to juggle living on my own (being homesick), college classes and a full-time volleyball schedule was no joke. I struggled with Depression and I wish I would have had someone to talk to, someone to help me adjust to this crazy time in my life. I want to be that person for others just like me. I’ve worked with children and adults dealing with life-changing situations, such as Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. However, I believe that therapy is for everyone, so even if you don’t feel you are dealing with severe issues, I also assist clients with stress, self-esteem issues, coping with general life changes, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, communication issues and coaching.

In the treatment of eating disorders and eating related concerns, Dr. Duffy works from an integrative approach and often uses methods from cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and interpersonal theories. She sees eating disorders as a multidimensional disorder and thus strongly believes in a multidisciplinary approach. This means that individuals with eating disorders most often have psychological, medical, and nutritional causes and consequences of their disorder and require treatment in each area for a full recovery. With written permission from the client, she works with local dietitians and physicians to provide collaborative care. In addition to work around eating disorders and eating-related concerns, therapy will also address related issues such as anxiety, depression, and family concerns.

Transition. In one word, college comes with a lot of transition, a foot in two different worlds. Sometimes you just need someone to provide support and help you navigate these changes. Sometimes you've struggled with feelings like depression or anxiety for quite some time but maybe haven't had a name for it, thought everyone felt this way, or haven't had the opportunity to address it. Maybe you struggle with negative self-thoughts or have had life experiences that leave you struggling. These are some of the common challenges I've had the honor of addressing in my work with students.

Hello :) Going to college is such an exciting time in your life. It also can be overwhelming navigating all the new experiences. If you are looking for someone who can help you find a successful transition to your new world, I can help. I have worked in the field of social work for over 36 years and helped many people find their way in the world. When meeting new people from so many different backgrounds and even parts of the world can be fun and maybe a little terrifying at times. I can be a safe place to sort through your thoughts and feelings and make decisions that are right for you. Asking for help is really a strength, not a weakness as I think some people believe. I hope to meet you soon. Emily

Hi, I'm Heather, a licensed counselor. I specialize in Eating Disorder treatment, and I always have a heart for healing the relationship with food and your body. I also have extensive experience treating individuals with anxiety and depression, which are common for people to suffer without knowing quite how to make it better, or if that’s even possible. I'm willing to integrate spiritual faith into sessions, and will provide supportive acceptance of your belief system. I view my clients not as hopeless or crazy, but simply as genuine people going through a rough time in their life, who need a little help finding their path. With patience and understanding, I can help you find yours too, using an Adlerian framework and teaching skills grounded in DBT, ACT, and/or CBT. I am passionate to help every one of my clients let go of judgment and learn to accept themselves and their imperfections. My energy and enthusiasm for the power of positive thinking are balanced by my ability to meet you where you are with empathy and understanding. Call my office today, and Sarah will get you started!

I'm Chelsea Horn, owner and founder of Wild Haven Counseling. I’ve been practicing as a licensed mental health counselor since 2018. My passion lies in helping adults and college students navigate life transitions, develop strengths, and find meaning and purpose. I’m skilled in treating anxiety, perfectionism, imposter feelings and self-doubt, depression, binge eating, and body image issues. In the therapy room, I combine evidence-based practices with a touch of humor and humanity. I see therapy as a space where the focus is entirely on you, where you can reflect on your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover what brings you joy and fulfillment. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for real change. My style is collaborative and conversational; I offer input and perspective, but I also recognize that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll identify goals that feel meaningful to you. I often encourage clients to practice new skills outside of sessions, which helps build confidence and momentum in daily life. I also take a holistic approach to mental health, considering how emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being all connect. My philosophy centers on pursuing wholeness over perfection. Growth isn’t about getting everything right, it’s about showing up for yourself, learning along the way, and taking that first step toward change.
