I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I live by a this motto: When you love what you do and do what you love, you never work a day in your life! My 36+ years as a psychotherapist has never been experienced as 'work' because it is both my vocation (a job) AND my avocation (something about which I am passionate). I consider it a privilege to journey along side my clients, to encourage and provide insight into how and why life is unfolding as it is.

Hi, I am Julia.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is a lot like finding the right pair of jeans- it might take trying a few before you find the one that feels right. When you do, you feel comfortable, supported and like you can finally be yourself. I believe therapy should feel that way too.
I believe that therapy provides a safe space and genuine connection for individuals to heal and grow.
Life can feel overwhelming ad carrying everything on your own can be exhausting. Finding a place where you can be vulnerable, share your story and be yourself isn't easy. My hope is to provide a space where you feel safe, accepted and genuinely heard- a relationship built on connection, compassion and belonging. Together, we will create an environment where you can explore life's challenges, discover your strengths and move toward healing with support every step of the way.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges and life transitions. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices including CBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness.
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.
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.
I’m passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to have someone by their side through both the highs and the lows.
I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.
With over 15 years of experience, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion into my work. I’m known for being kind, approachable, and deeply committed to the therapeutic process.
I’m also a certified yoga instructor and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into sessions when it feels helpful. I believe in the connection between mind and body and strive to support clients in feeling more balanced, present, and connected to themselves.
It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.
I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.
I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.
Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Hey! I am a licensed mental health counselor, with a masters in clinical mental health counseling. My experience ranges from working with teens and adults, supporting their navigation through various challenges such as healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression. My therapy style is focused on creating a warm environment that is also empowering for clients.
If you find yourself in a place where, by all appearances, you should be happy or fulfilled, yet something still feels missing, you are not alone. Sometimes, understanding ourselves requires us to look beyond what is happening on the surface. The experiences we have survived often shape the ways we think, feel, and move through the world. While those patterns may have once helped protect us, they can sometimes keep us from living the life we truly want today.
Together, we will explore your past, navigate your present, and envision the future you hope to create.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bloomington, IN
Searching for therapists in Bloomington starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Bloomington therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Provider profiles can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Bloomington, local in-person options may be more limited than in a larger metro area. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Indiana while still giving you access to licensed therapists who can meet by video. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist says you can expect in your first sessions.
Therapy in Bloomington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for Bloomington therapists who take insurance, view estimated costs, compare detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
