LGBT therapists in Bloomington, IN

Hi there! I am a licensed counselor in both Indiana and Minnesota. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest in 2022 with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling, and have worked in community mental health, substance use recovery, and private practice settings since. I enjoy working with adults through various circumstances, issues, or symptoms, and utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and EMDR interventions during sessions.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. I work with individuals who feel paralyzed due to past traumatic experiences; those that feel crippled by anxiety; couples who are wanting to strengthen their relationship as well as those individuals who are struggling in their grief.

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.

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.

In my experience, the best therapy comes from helping others. Even when I’m feeling down, I make it a point to support those around me and listen to their concerns. My journey with therapy began when my father passed away when I was 10 years old. At the time, I was confused and my mother encouraged me to express my feelings to a therapist. That period was a blur, as I struggled to articulate my emotions. Growing up in a family that valued privacy and relied on prayer for solace, I often felt something was missing.

During my freshman year of college, I enrolled in my first psychology course. The passion of my professor inspired me to consider switching my major to psychology. At that time, I was dealing with depression, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. I decided that if I wanted to become a counselor, I should first address my own issues through therapy.

This decision allowed me to learn coping skills and gain firsthand experience of the counseling process. I realized that professional training and studies would equip me with the knowledge and confidence needed to handle situations involving intense emotions. As I continued my education, I aspired to be a “super therapist” or, as I jokingly called it, “The Beyoncé of therapists,” eager to help everyone. While I understood that was unrealistic, I chose to focus on the populations that interested me the most, including individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and those within the LGBTQ+ community.
