Hey, I'm Alex Peacock—your growth and resilience partner! I defy the traditional therapist role, fostering a space as comfortable as your favorite hangout spot. If you're a teen or young adult navigating life's adventure, you're in the right place. I've worked in schools, hospitals and community centers, and went to Indiana University for Psychology, and Boston University for my MSW. I work primarily with ASD/ADHD, as I myself have it!
“I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel heard, supported, and understood. My 20 plus years of professional background includes working closely with children, adults, and families in both home and community-based settings, addressing concerns such as behavioral challenges, family conflict, trauma, and life stressors.
I have a special interest in supporting families, strengthening relationships, and helping clients navigate difficult transitions with confidence and clarity.”
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit mental health organizations, addiction treatment, and behavioral health settings, while also serving as a clinical supervisor and program director. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how people grow, heal, and build resilience through every stage of life.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, anger, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for greater balance, we'll work together to identify practical solutions that fit your unique needs.
I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom needed to transform pain into healing. Although pain is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to define your future. My belief is that through a trusted relationship, you can access an inner sense of safety needed to heal wounds while honoring your unique journey.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their life journey, fostering an environment for healing, transformation, and empowerment through providing accessible mental health services. I hold training and experience in children/adolescent mental health, and utilize the therapeutic powers of play to meet children where they are.

Hello and welcome. My name is Muhammad Saahir, LMHC and I have been a full-time clinician since 2013 and fully licensed since 2016.

Hi, I'm Jessica! I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I wanted to help people grow and be their true authentic selves. I work with adults and children managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties and PTSD. I care most about really listening before jumping to a plan. I take time to understand what someone actually needs before recommending medication or next steps. My schedule is opening up right now, which means I have real flexibility for new clients. I want every person I work with to feel comfortable asking questions and to feel like they have a genuine partner in their care. I am passionate about treating children and women as I feel that these populations are underrepresented and under treated in healthcare. I am dual certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner with 8 years experience and recently certified as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I decided to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner after my son was diagnosed with autism, speech and cognitive delay.
You're here because something needs to change, and that takes courage. I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience working with individuals, teens, and families across Florida and Indiana. I specialize in maternal mental health, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and substance use. I don't do cookie-cutter therapy — I adapt to you, your pace, and your life.
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 actively participate in helping you get to where you want to go, and I offer insight when clients have a desire and readiness to hear it. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years as well, so I have heard it all! My office is a no judgement zone first and foremost. I am a sex therapist and look forward to helping you overcome sexual shame and trauma so that you can have all the intimacy and closeness you desire.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Indianapolis
Searching for family therapists in Indianapolis starts with finding someone whose training matches what your family wants to work on. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication across generations, or major life changes. Family therapists are trained to look at patterns between family members, not just one person’s experience. As you compare options for family counseling in Indianapolis, Indiana, look for therapists who list experience with family systems, parent-child relationships, communication, or related concerns in their profiles.
Indianapolis has many therapy options, which can make the search feel easier when you have clear filters. Consider whether you prefer an office near your neighborhood, school, or workplace, or a virtual appointment that fits more easily into multiple schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, availability, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through fit.
Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find family therapists on Headway, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lists therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Indianapolis. You can browse profiles, compare specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
