Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Indianapolis, IN

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’m a bilingual (English + Spanish) board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a creative, client-centered approach. I blend multi-modality therapy with medication management to support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Before entering mental health, I worked as a global photojournalist, capturing stories across continents — a career that sharpened my empathy and deepened my understanding of the human experience. Mental health is personal for me. I lost my brother to untreated illness, and I carry that with me in how I show up for my clients. I don’t believe your life has to be defined by the past or your circumstances. My goal is to help you move forward.

I specialize in women's mental health and perinatal mental health. You can set an appointment in-person or virtually. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a certification in perinatal mental health. I provide medication management along with talk therapy. With a master of science in leadership and management, I proudly managed a maternal/child home health program in southern Indiana and have extensive experience as a registered nurse in neonatal intensive care. I am here to support you during the journey towards healing, empowerment & resilience.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

I believe that mental health is an important part of overall health and happiness. Each person has the ability to commit to and foster positive change in their lives. I always strive to work with each client as an individual, fostering their strengths and building healthy coping skills, insight, and empowering courage for change. I am passionate about women's health and issues. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

I have extensive experience in working with families, children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma, both acute and chronic, as well as grief and loss, stress and anxiety, as well as other behavioral health issues.
