For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.
I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.
In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.
Hello! My name is Jay and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional difficulties.
My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, inclusive, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be yourself, feel heard and respected, and openly explore the experiences that are affecting your emotional well-being.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related concerns
- Autism Spectrum–related needs
- LGBTQ+ concerns, identity, relationships, and life experiences
Through tTelehealth therapy my goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative environment where we can identify your concerns, recognize your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.
Hi! My name is Angie. I am an LMHC in Indiana and an LPCA in Kentucky.
I studied psychology and linguistics in my undergrad and pursued a career in speech and language therapy. I discovered a passion for mental health and pivoted, after developing a profound respect for the field as a person who found tremendous support and healing in my own therapy journey. I completed my masters in clinical mental health counseling from Concordia University Irvine in 2024. I pursued a teaching institute, Forge Counseling Collective, for my professional development in Colorado for my counseling internship which provided excellent mentorship and supervision. I returned to my home in 2025 to be near my family in Kentuckiana.
For me, I aim to help others transform their lives through compassionate, personalized care (with plenty of humor along the way). I specialize in working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. If you’re neurodivergent and reading this, you’ve finally found someone who specializes in and deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether seeking clarity on behaviors, understanding how you interpret the world, or navigating challenges, I am here to help.
Hi! My name is Maggie Peters and I have been a Mental Health Counselor for about 10 years. I have worked with a wide variety of populations and do my best to create a welcoming, open minded and creative environment for my clients to feel comfortable and grow. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked as an outpatient therapist/mental health counselor in many settings. I am also experienced in crisis intervention, as I used to work for the 988 suicide prevention hotline. I work with a wide variety of ages and populations, including children and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, trauma and suicide/self harm. I enjoy exploring coping strategies, implementing healthy, daily practices and processing stressors. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community and have a lot of experience surrounding gender identity, acceptance and positive self esteem/self worth.
With 30 + years of experience as a psychotherapist, I will do everything possible to help you get the most out of your counseling sessions. Being in therapy should be a meaningful and transformative experience. It takes courage to face emotional, mental health, relationship, behavioral, abuse and addiction issues. It is necessary to feel comfortable, safe, and heard in your therapy relationship, as it is feelings of fear, anxiety, anger, guilt, and resentment that motivate us to seek change. I provide a safe, welcoming, discrete, and professional environment where you can explore your needs for personal growth and recovery.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.
Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.
