Robert Owens

Therapist

Virtual • La Porte, IN


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.

Maribel Diaz Munoz LaForge

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.
