Great to meet you. If you have been carrying more than most people realize, therapy can be a place to finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You may be navigating PTSD that still impacts your daily life, anxiety that fills every quiet moment, mood shifts that feel difficult to predict, anger that rises before you can stop it, depression, panic, grief, relationship stress, family issues, ADHD, OCD, substance use concerns, or the emotional toll of a chronic health condition. I work with adults, children, and seniors who want more than someone simply listening from a distance. My goal is to walk beside you with honesty, skill, practical tools, and a therapeutic relationship built on transparency and trust. Whether you are working through trauma, identity concerns, cultural stressors, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transgender issues, or major life stress, you deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel big, and I’m here to make it as welcoming and grounded as possible. With over 13 years of experience in medical healthcare and over 7 years in mental healthcare, I bring a unique blend of mind-body awareness to our sessions.
I have a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and many post-graduate certifications specializing in trauma and grief, including EMDR and Compassionate Bereavement Care.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health 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.
