Jay Thompson

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Valparaiso, IN


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.

Maribel Diaz Munoz LaForge

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.

Therapist

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is helping adults and working professionals navigate high-stress environments, burnout, career demands, and significant life transitions. Juggling professional responsibilities alongside personal life often leaves little room to process stress effectively or reset. My goal is to provide a focused, practical space where you can step back, clarify your priorities, and develop sustainable strategies to regain balance and momentum in both your work and personal life.
