I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.
I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.
If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years, I have found that every person possesses the ability to change. I graduated with my masters degree from Loyola University Chicago where I specialized in working with older adults. I have since expanded my expertise to include all ages of adults who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, or difficult life changes.
Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer seem to work? Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, a major life transition, chronic health concerns, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you don't have to go through it alone.
For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside children, adolescents, and adults through some of life's most difficult seasons. My mission is simple: to restore hope, foster healing, and support meaningful personal growth. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered as we work toward the life you want to live.
I’m an Indiana and Michigan Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Indianapolis, IN
Searching for postpartum therapists in Indianapolis starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you review options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or experience with new parents in their profiles. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal focused training in perinatal mental health care.
Indianapolis has a broad network of therapists, which can make it easier to find options across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. For new parents, practical fit matters: appointment availability, infant care, physical recovery, and commute time can shape what works week to week. Virtual sessions can expand access when getting to an office is harder, while in-person care may fit better if you prefer a dedicated space outside the home. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, listed specialties, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
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 understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway makes it easier to search for postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
