I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 5 years of experience as a School Social Worker. I graduated from Indiana University Northwest in 2021 with my master's degree. I am a therapist who believes people are stronger than they give themselves credit for. My passion is helping you find your strength and strategies to meet your goals. I keep things warm, supportive, and will never make you feel judged for what you bring to me. I am here to support you and help you navigate to where you want to be.
Outside of work, I run a small farm with pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and a garden, so my life involves a fair amount of dirt and a lot of animals with strong opinions. I also love to fish, woodwork, cook from scratch, and make soy candles. Being in nature is how I reset, and I am happy to talk about what helps you reset too.
I believe that everyone has the ability to grow into the person that they want to be. I want to help people turn obstacles into opportunities, weaknesses into strengths, and discouragement into hope. I make every effort to be dependable, understanding, and empathetic. I also am upfront, honest, and kind. You can expect that we will talk in real world terms, not in psychological terms. We will find practical solutions, rather than reflect on "how that made you feel."
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where we identify the thoughts and behaviors that lead to negative feelings and emotions. I find that this practical approach is often the best approach to find progress quickly. I also practice Narrative Therapy to address trauma and difficult times. This approach addresses painful memories and experiences to reorient my client to a better understanding of the past and to find healing. I will attempt to work with anyone for almost any issue. I specialize in assisting with men's issues, communication issues, conflict resolution, parenting issues, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, grief, career counseling, and substance abuse issues.
I have worked in private practice for over 9 years. Prior to that, I worked in community-based services where I assisted families to stay together and juveniles to work through their legal issues. I have worked in substance abuse services. I also have experiences working with intellectual disabilities.
I hold a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and hold a Licensed Mental Health Counselor's license in Florida and Indiana.
I have been a MSSW since 1998 with a host of experience with children, adults, geriatrics, and families. I also have two other graduate degrees and real-life experiences that contribute to my value as a therapist. I love to help others overcome challenges and blossom into the best version of themselves!
I am a compassionate, open-minded therapist who values direct communication and builds genuine connections through honesty. I work effectively with teens and adults navigating identity, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Hello! My name is Zachary! I am happy you visited my profile. Before you begin browsing, I just want to say you are strong and you have incredible power in you to journey towards healing. I believe in your success and your potential.
I received my Bachelor of Arts at Goshen College and my Master of Social Work at Andrews University. I am a LCSW in Indiana, LISW-S in Ohio, and a LSCSW in Kansas.
I have experience in care management and facilitation, providing counseling to juveniles on probation, delivering therapy to those who have been court ordered, doing home-based clinical services, implementing and administering Family Centered Treatment© to families, hospice social work, community mental health, certified clinical behavioral health clinics, conducting counseling to geriatric and SPMI populations, as well as telehealth.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 11+ years of experience working with teens and adults. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions, with a particular focus on self-worth, healthy boundaries, understanding the patterns that shape our relationships, and finding our way back to ourselves.
A lot of the work I do is about figuring out who you are, what you want, and what healthy connection actually looks like—whether that's in dating, marriage, family, or friendships. Sometimes we lose ourselves trying to keep everyone else happy, and part of the work is finding your way back.
I'm laid-back, honest, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not like you're being judged or talked at. We'll have real conversations, find the humor when we can, and make space for both the hard days and the growth. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You just have to show up as you are—or wherever you are in the process of figuring out who you are.
I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, teens and families. I am licensed in IN and also have training in trauma-informed therapy.

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.
