Hi! My name is Angie. I am an LMHC in Indiana and an LPCA in Kentucky.
I studied psychology and linguistics in my undergrad and pursued a career in speech and language therapy. I discovered a passion for mental health and pivoted, after developing a profound respect for the field as a person who found tremendous support and healing in my own therapy journey. I completed my masters in clinical mental health counseling from Concordia University Irvine in 2024. I pursued a teaching institute, Forge Counseling Collective, for my professional development in Colorado for my counseling internship which provided excellent mentorship and supervision. I returned to my home in 2025 to be near my family in Kentuckiana.
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.
I have been in practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years. I recognize that finding a therapist you are comfortable working with can be a daunting experience. I appreciate the time you are taking to search through different therapist bios to find one that may be a good fit for you. Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety or something totally different having the right person to navigate that journey with you can make all the difference in the world. I am down to earth, non-judgmental and genuinely care about my clients!
My name is Sarah. I am excited to get to know you! I am a board certified LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I have primarily worked in a community mental health setting, which has given me a very diversified experience. I am an animal lover, a coach, a mom, and a devoted partner. I am a member of the LGBT+ community. I work with people of all ages and believe that everyone has the ability to achieve their best self.
Sometimes life changes in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, the transition into parenthood, or the emotional demands of caring for others, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything together. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 20 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and rediscover hope during life's most difficult seasons. Working with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move toward lasting healing.
I’m Lisa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who blends humor, compassion, and curiosity to create a safe space for growth. I serve adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or identity questions. My goal is to help you work with your brain—not against it—so you can dig deeper, embrace self-acceptance, and move toward a more authentic, balanced life.
For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.
I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.
In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Wayne
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Wayne starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who names experience with LGBTQIA+ populations and the specific support you want, such as identity exploration, family or relationship concerns, gender-diverse care, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Bios may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and questioning people.
Fort Wayne has a steady mental health care network, but therapists with explicit LGBTQIA+ experience may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping access local to Indiana. As you compare therapists, consider availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and what their profile says about communication style, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Fort Wayne can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
