Therapist

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the emotional weight of motherhood, struggling in your relationships, or finding it difficult to navigate a major life transition? Perhaps you're constantly putting everyone else's needs first and have lost sight of yourself in the process. You may feel stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.

I specialize in helping adults, parents, and families navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, maternal mental health concerns, grief and loss, identity issues, and life transitions. As both a therapist and a mother of teenagers, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with family life and the many roles we hold. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes that align with the life you want to create.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.

I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.

Julia Crane

Julia Crane

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


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.

Michelle Prewitt

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


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.

Therapist

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.

What empowers people to change? A clear direction and the tools needed to succeed. Thats why my counseling approach focuses on YOU and taking steps toward your own definition of success.
