Grief counselors and therapists in Merrillville, IN

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. I work with individuals who feel paralyzed due to past traumatic experiences; those that feel crippled by anxiety; couples who are wanting to strengthen their relationship as well as those individuals who are struggling in their grief.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and it is completely natural to have questions or feel uncertain about where to begin. You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Therapy offers a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I believe that healing begins in a safe, compassionate, and respectful relationship. Your story, experiences, and goals matter, and I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, or other emotional struggles, we will work together to better understand what you are experiencing and create a path forward that feels meaningful and manageable.

Hi! I have a LCSW with a MSW. By integrating evidence-based practices such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, CPT, and ACT, I will work alongside you to develop practical strategies for overcoming challenges and achieving your goals.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing mental health is an integral part of quality of life. Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement! I have been practicing for 20 years with a focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and difficulty with life transitions. I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing disconnection, conflict, and communication issues.

When life feels overwhelming, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field, including more than 16 years providing therapy to adults facing life's challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving adults who are often balancing significant responsibilities while putting their own needs last.

Clients describe me as warm, calm, practical, and easy to talk to. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives.

If you're an adolescent or young adult feeling untethered, like the people around you have shifted, like your effort isn't matching your results, or like you're falling short no matter how hard you try, I want you to know that's exactly what I help with. I'm Heather Case, Ed.D., a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC/LSC) with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of mental health and education. I work with adolescents and young adults navigating identity development, life transitions, anxiety, ADHD, and the emotional impact of learning differently in a system built for one kind of learner, including students navigating IEP or 504 plans. My own experience as a first-generation student with an undiagnosed learning difference shapes how I approach this work: I don't see struggle within a rigid system as a limit on ability. I hold an Ed.D. from USC, and I've worked as a clinical counselor, school counselor, graduate faculty instructor, and student affairs administrator.

I’ve spent the last twenty years working with adolescents, young adults, and their families, and in recent years I’ve expanded my practice to include adults of all ages. My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to build genuine rapport and trust, creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and safe to be themselves.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have additional training and experience in grief, anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, academic counseling, post-secondary planning, and career counseling. Whether you’re navigating a major change, processing something difficult, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to walk alongside you with warmth, practical tools, and evidence-based support.
