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.

Hello and welcome. I’m Elishia. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in the mental health field for 10 years. I am dedicated to helping busy professionals navigate life’s complex emotional landscapes. I have early morning and late evening times available to accommodate busy schedules. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing occurs when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Who I Help I specialize in supporting individuals carrying the weight of trauma, chronic anxiety, depression, and sleep disruptions. Whether you are feeling stuck in past patterns, overwhelmed by a demanding career, or disconnected from your body, I provide a compassionate, grounded space where you can safely explore, heal, and regain control of your life.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I believe mental health is an essential part of overall wellbeing. Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve always been the one others rely on for strength or have learned to “stay strong” while using coping strategies that no longer serve you. I commend you for taking the first step.
I have over six years of experience in behavioral health across diverse clinical settings, and I focus on working with adults navigating life transitions, ADHD, attachment and family challenges, and the lingering effects of childhood experiences. My approach is warm, collaborative, and person centered, helping clients gain clarity, improve emotional balance, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
First let me say I went into therapy after a lot of my own problems in life and I wanted to understand why I struggled so much. Currently I specialize in relationship counseling, PTSD, anxiety, and grief/loss. Everyone's mind is shaped by their experiences, environment, personality, and a variety of other factors. I recently retired from the VA after 17 years of working with veterans and their struggles. There rest of the time I was in community care working with individuals and families. I understand that it can be hard to ask for help but the most resilient people I know have been the ones that want to keep discovering what is underneath the surface. It's not easy to figure it out yourself. That's why I do what I do! I love to help people unlock the mysteries in their heads. I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you if you think we would be a good fit. I DO NOT JUDGE..that is not my job nor my nature. My job is to uplift and assist you in finding your way to an improved quality of life.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor with over 26 years of experience supporting individuals and families through challenges related to trauma, mental health, and addiction. I am EMDR Certified and have a passion for helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. I believe healing grows from a foundation of trust, compassion, and authentic human connection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Indianapolis
Searching for therapists in Indianapolis starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist feels like a practical fit. Indianapolis has therapists across neighborhoods like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, Irvington, and downtown, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a major metro area like Indianapolis, having many choices can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person therapy near work, home, or a route you already take. Virtual therapy can be useful if your schedule shifts or you want more flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
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 your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists on its platform, review availability, and book care directly. You can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage available in Indianapolis. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs before your first session, compare therapist bios, and book when you are ready.
