Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Merrillville, IN

You may be trying to keep things together while feeling anxious, down, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to get back to feeling like yourself. Maybe past experiences are still affecting you, relationships have become difficult to navigate, or you're struggling to understand why you keep reacting in ways you don't want to. For teens, this can look like withdrawing, feeling misunderstood, struggling at school, or having emotions that feel difficult to manage. For parents, it may mean trying to support your child while also feeling unsure of what to do next. I work with teens, parents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I strive to make therapy feel warm, genuine, and easy to talk about.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

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.

As a board certified psychotherapist I have seen firsthand the importance of our mental health and the powerful effects that it can have on our lives. Seeking help can be difficult. I applaud you on the taking the first step in making a lasting change in your life! I am of Christian faith. I have been practicing in a variety of different social work related fields for the last 20 years, most recently focusing on anxiety, depression, and past trauma.

Hi, my name is Sara! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience working alongside individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys.

I'm glad you're here! I want to be able to work with you to help you move forward, through the challenges. I enjoy working with individuals through difficult life circumstances, and helping to instill hope. I specialize in grief and loss, depression, trauma, and anxiety. I provide talk therapy and can include art therapy in sessions if requested, to help process thoughts and emotions non-verbally. Art can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone. I work with teens and adults in the office and/or via telehealth.

Being a therapist perfectly combines my love of people and passion for mental health and wellness. I am excited to work alongside my clients, providing support tailored to their specific goals — because I believe no one is a better expert on you than you.

I've had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My experience includes working in community mental health and prior to becoming a therapist, supporting survivors of domestic violence as they navigated the legal system.
