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.

Hayley Craig

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Fishers, IN


Hello, I’m Hayley Craig! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years as a practicing therapist and over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have worked in multiple settings like community mental health, integrated care, and group practice. Through my private practice I provide compassionate evidence-based care.

I believe therapy should be a space clients feel safe enough to be bravely honest and themselves. I provide a warm, down-to-earth environment that helps clients feel comfortable and understood. I enjoy working with teens and adults navigating disordered eating, self-worth, life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges, with a growing focus on maternal and perinatal mental health. I am currently pursuing perinatal mental health certification to better support patients during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

I have 10+ years of experience doing this work. I'm naturally drawn to people, and bring curiosity regarding your story- diversity of background, personalities, and identities. My special interests include supporting neurodivergence, being queer, going through separations, transitions, and grief- I've worked collaboratively with families, couples, kids, and everybody in between- in schools, in private practice, and a nonprofit I'm passionate about. I'd love to hear your story and empower it.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a clinical concentration from Purdue University, and my Master of Social Work from the Indiana University School of Social Work.

Dr. Kirk Burke-Hamilton

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
