Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Greenwood, IN


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit mental health organizations, addiction treatment, and behavioral health settings, while also serving as a clinical supervisor and program director. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how people grow, heal, and build resilience through every stage of life.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, anger, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for greater balance, we'll work together to identify practical solutions that fit your unique needs.

When you've spent so much time trying to hold everything together, it's easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the anxiety, painful experiences, or expectations placed on you by others. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, questions about identity, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. Meaningful healing is possible, and you don't have to go through it alone. I partner with clients experiencing anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, women's issues, trauma, and PTSD so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I work with adolescents, adults, and children because every person deserves to feel accepted, understood, and empowered.

Therapist

Virtual • Fort Wayne, IN


Great to meet you. If you have been carrying more than most people realize, therapy can be a place to finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You may be navigating PTSD that still impacts your daily life, anxiety that fills every quiet moment, mood shifts that feel difficult to predict, anger that rises before you can stop it, depression, panic, grief, relationship stress, family issues, ADHD, OCD, substance use concerns, or the emotional toll of a chronic health condition. I work with adults, children, and seniors who want more than someone simply listening from a distance. My goal is to walk beside you with honesty, skill, practical tools, and a therapeutic relationship built on transparency and trust. Whether you are working through trauma, identity concerns, cultural stressors, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transgender issues, or major life stress, you deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

I am a Psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in eating disorders, personality disorders, and chronic suicidal ideation. I enjoy working across the lifespan with individuals of all ages using patient centered care. I have experience helping those who also have physical conditions navigate the complexity of mental health. And as a part of the LGBTQ+ community I do my best to provide compassionate and gender affirming care to others in the community who have not found it. I believe each person is the expert of their own experience.

Having lived experience with mental illness, I went into the profession wanting to give my patients the care the care that took me so long to find. I never want anyone to feel rushed or misunderstood when seeing me. I want my patients to feel free to ask questions and get the answers they need.

I have worked in a variety of settings and have experience treating a wide range of diagnosis from anxiety disorders to psychotic disorders.
