Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bloomington, IN

I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom needed to transform pain into healing. Although pain is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to define your future. My belief is that through a trusted relationship, you can access an inner sense of safety needed to heal wounds while honoring your unique journey.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their life journey, fostering an environment for healing, transformation, and empowerment through providing accessible mental health services. I hold training and experience in children/adolescent mental health, and utilize the therapeutic powers of play to meet children where they are.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, criminal victimization and perpetration and crisis intervention. Much of my work considers the effects of gender socialization, microaggressions, discrimination, social inequality and the stress that women and men face in their daily lives.

Outside of session, you'll usually find me running, on a yoga mat or watching basketball. I believe that cooking and gardening are special kinds of therapy.

When life feels overwhelming, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field, including more than 16 years providing therapy to adults facing life's challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving adults who are often balancing significant responsibilities while putting their own needs last.

Clients describe me as warm, calm, practical, and easy to talk to. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives.

I also accept Medicare, AmBetter, UMR and United plans.

Therapy is a healing of the past, UNFOLDING OF THE PRESENT AND gift for your future. You will see growth from day one.

Hello and welcome. I’m Elishia Jennings, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the mental health field for 10 years. I am dedicated to helping busy professionals navigate life’s complex emotional landscapes. I have early morning and late evening times available to accommodate busy schedules. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing occurs when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Who I Help I specialize in supporting individuals carrying the weight of trauma, chronic anxiety, depression, and sleep disruptions. Whether you are feeling stuck in past patterns, overwhelmed by a demanding career, or disconnected from your body, I provide a compassionate, grounded space where you can safely explore, heal, and regain control of your life.

A few things about me outside of therapy: I have three children, so I understand that life can be beautifully chaotic. I’m a real person, not a therapist robot. I’ll bring authenticity into our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Most importantly, you don’t have to impress me. You don’t have to have the perfect answers or know exactly what you want to say. Therapy can be a place to better understand what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop healthier ways to move forward. Come as you are, and we’ll navigate the hard stuff together.

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.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing mental health is an integral part of quality of life. Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement! I have been practicing for 20 years with a focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and difficulty with life transitions. I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing disconnection, conflict, and communication issues.
